The Los Angeles Clippers have traded for Lance Stephenson, agreeing to send Spencer Hawes and Matt Barnes to the Charlotte Hornets.

Stephenson has two years left on his contract, but the 2016-17 season is a team option of $9.4 million. 

Hawes has three years and $17 million-plus left on a free-agent deal that he signed in summer 2014. 

The Hornets will likely buy out Barnes' contract before July 1, when they would only have to pay him $1 million of the $3.5 million owed him.
