Eric became a free agent after LA Clippers declined to guarantee his 21 million dollar deal a few days ago. The Clippers saved over 100 million dollars on tax bills with that move.

The franchise from L.A. sent Luke Kennard, John Wall, and a protected pick swap for Eric and 3 feature 2^nd round picks in February.
