Clippers Director: If there is an opportunity, we still hope to sign Kofi and Miller back

According to The Athletic reporter Law Murray, Lawrence Frank, the Los Angeles Clippers' basketball operations director, also talked about the situation in an interview about Amir Coffey and Jordan Miller, two players who played for the team last season but are currently in free agency. Although Kofi made 72 appearances for the Clippers in the NBA regular season last season, he still has not completed signing with any team. As for Miller, he won the game in the previous NBA Summer League, but the team cut him at the end of last month. According to Frank, he is not sure whether the team will sign any of these two players, because the team is currently restricted by the No. 1 rich line, but Frank also made it clear to Murray: As long as there is an opportunity, we still hope to sign them back. If we can’t do this, then we can only wish them good luck.

In the NBA regular season last season, Coffey played 72 times in 82 games, averaging 24.3 minutes per game, averaging 9.7 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.1 blocks, as well as 0.6 turnovers and 1.7 fouls, shooting percentage of 47.1%, three-point shooting percentage of 40.9%, and free throw shooting percentage of 89.1%. However, in the playoffs, Coffey did not appear in the team's rotation lineup, and he did not get a chance to play.

In the NBA regular season last season, Miller made a total of 37 appearances in 82 games, averaging 11.4 minutes per game, averaging 4.1 points, 1.6 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 0.7 turnovers and 0.7 fouls. His shooting percentage was 43.3%, a three-point shooting percentage of 21.1%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 80%. In the playoffs, Miller played 3 games in total, with averaging 4.3 minutes per game, with averaging 2.3 points, 0.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1 steal, shooting percentage of 42.9%, shooting percentage of 3-pointers and 50% free throw percentage. In the NBA Development League last season, Miller made a total of 7 appearances, averaging 31.1 minutes per game, averaging 23.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1 steal, 0.6 blocks, and 2.3 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 50.9%, three-point shooting percentage was 35%, and free throw shooting percentage was 84.4%.

Currently, the Clippers' lineup has included 14 players holding standard contracts and 3 players holding two-way contracts. The team was hit by the No. 1 rich line, and their total salary is only about 1.27 million US dollars away from the No. 1 rich line. Even if Coffey and Miller are willing to accept basic salary, they cannot sign standard contracts with the Clippers. However, considering that Miller still has the opportunity to sign with the team in a two-way contract, if Miller cannot get a standard contract from other teams, the Clippers can also consider cutting off one of the existing two-way contract players and signing with him.
