Clippers’ Lawrence Frank talks Kevin Porter Jr. signing, potential discipline
New York TimesLA Clippers president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank said Monday that “in no way” do the Clippers try to “downplay, diminish or condone domestic violence.” His comments came less than a week after the organization signed Kevin Porter Jr. to a two-year contract. Frank said the Clippers were “obviously very, very aware” of that possibility and will abide by whatever the league decides. “With Kai, the way we looked at the roster building, especially because we don’t have an embarrassment of riches in draft picks, we have to take some swings on young players,” Frank said in May, following the Clippers’ elimination from the postseason. … With Kai, similar to what we did with Primo, there’s a development plan first off the court that supersedes anything on the court, and we’ll see.” Frank said “it’s not one size fits all” when the Clippers consider to whom they may provide second chances.
