The Los Angeles Clippers are making moves.
The Utah Jazz agreed to take one of their out-of-favor players in a salary-shedding move.
The Clippers reportedly will send P.J. Tucker, Mo Bamba, a future second-round pick and cash to the Jazz for Drew Eubanks and Patty Mills, according to Shams Charania and Bobby Marks of ESPN.

On paper, this shouldn’t move the needle that much for either team.
Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue will get some diverse threats in Mills and Eubanks.
Mills gives L.A. another playmaker and shooter off the bench, and with Kris Dunn struggling with injuries, the veteran could be serviceable.
He will also be reunited with former San Antonio Spurs teammate Kawhi Leonard.
As for the Jazz, they get some salary off their books and some draft compensation in the process.
Tucker has been away from the Clippers for a while now.
He grew frustrated about not getting to play and now will be a prime buyout candidate.
Though it’s been some time since he was on the court, multiple teams might be interested in his services.
His offensive performance has steadily declined over the years, but he remains a pesky and physical defender who can contend against forwards and some big men.
The Jazz are most likely looking to make more moves, so they’ll be a team to watch as the NBA trade deadline draws closer.
