Craig Smith
Position: Undersized 4 (6-foot-7)
Contract: 1 year, $2.5M
2008-09 PER: 17.01
Comment: Smith is an extremely efficient offensive creature, though he needs to step away from the table if he wants to be able to guard quicker, longer face-up 4s and perimeter 3s. Smith shot 47.9% on 2-point jumpers — one of the better figures in the league. A useful piece to have.  More...

From Adrian Wojnarowski at Yahoo! Sports:

The Los Angeles Clippers have reached an agreement in principle to trade guard Quentin Richardson to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Sebastian Telfair, Mark Madsen and Craig Smith, leagues sources said Monday.

Richardson is quickly becoming the Mike Remlinger of basketball.

More information coming.

I’ll be tweeting Summer League from about 3p PT until the last game is over at around 930p PT.  I’ll be bouncing between gyms, but will have the entire Clips-Suns game for you from Thomas & Mack at 730p PT.

Here’s the link over at TrueHoop.

And here’s my Twitter feed if you’re on the go, or just prefer twitter.com.

• There are two primary reasons why Eric Gordon has missed each of the past two games: [1] He has a bruised leg, though it’s nothing serious. [2] He’s been invited to Team USA mini-camp here in Vegas next week. “We don’t want to kill him,” assistant general manager Neil Olshey said.  There’s a precedent for too much summer basketball taking its toll in the subsequent season. As disappointing as it is not to see him play, sitting out makes sense in the longterm.

“Done,” according to Mike Dunleavy, as of a little after 3:30 p.m. PT.
