How many ex-Lakers are the Clippers going to sign? LOL! Seems to be the norm every offseason.

LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Clippers didn't waste much time replacing backup point guard Darren Collison, agreeing to a two-year deal with Jordan Farmar on Sunday, sources confirmed.
Farmar's deal with the Clippers is for two years at $4.2 million, with a player option in the second year, sources said. The Clippers used their biannual exception for the deal after Collison agreed to join the Sacramento Kings on Thursday for a three-year, $16 million deal.
Teams can't officially sign free agents until the NBA's moratorium on deals is lifted July 10.
Farmar, 27, averaged 10.1 points, 4.9 assist and 2.5 rebounds last season for the Los Angeles Lakers after playing the previous season in Turkey. He also shot 43.8 percent from 3-point range but was sidelined for 41 games as he dealt with a variety of injuries.
Farmar and Collison were teammates at UCLA during the 2005-06 season when the Bruins lost to Florida in the national championship game.
The Los Angeles Times was the first to report the deal.
