Hachimura's West Coast Dreams Come True: What This Means for the NBA's Playoff Aspirations Rui Hachimura has agreed to join the Los Angeles Clippers on a two year, $28 million deal, marking the latest chapter in the ongoing saga of player movement and roster shuffling that has defined the NBA's offseason.
