The steady parade of Clippers free-agent moves continued as the team will be signing forward Ryan Gomes, a source told The Times on Thursday night.
Gomes, of course, was involved in the huge Kevin Garnett trade, the multi-player deal sending KG to Boston in 2007. Gomes played three seasons in Minnesota and was traded to the Trail Blazers in a draft-day deal along with the rights to Luke Babbitt for Martell Webster.
Portland, as a cost-cutting move, waived Gomes last month.
His best season came with the Timberwolves in 2008-09, in which he averaged 13.3 points.
