Antawn Jamison agreed to terms with the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday, getting a one-year deal for the veteran's minimum.

Jamison, 37, averaged career-lows of 9.4 points and 4.8 rebounds for the Los Angeles Lakers last season. The 15-year veteran also received interest from the Chicago Bulls and Memphis Grizzlies.

"I'm glad that everything got done and I'm ready to compete for a championship," Jamison told Yahoo! Sports. "This is a good fit for me."

Jamison initially expected to sign with the Clippers earlier this month after having a productive dinner meeting in Los Angeles with new Clippers president-coach Doc Rivers. He was dejected when he was told on Aug. 15 that the Clippers were instead focused on re-signing their own free agent in forward Lamar Odom.

The Clippers renewed their interest in signing Jamison and contract talks got stronger over the past weekend.

So I'm guessing Odom is done with the Clipps?

Jamison will be a good stretch four to help spread the court for CP3. They will have to cover up his bad defense somehow.
