The Los Angeles Clippers have hired Mark Hughes as assistant general manager.

Hughes was previously working in the New York Knicks' front office.

The Clippers have also added Michael Winger, Trent Redden and Jerry West this off-season.

The Los Angeles Clippers have hired Michael Winger to become general manager.

The Clippers offered Winger the job late last week, and the sides have agreed on terms for a multiyear contract. Winger spent the past seven years with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Clippers have revamped the franchise's front-office structure in recent weeks, with Doc Rivers returning to full-time coaching duties. 

Trent Redden will also join the Clippers as assistant general manager.

Jerry West left the Golden State Warriors to join the front office of the Los Angeles Clippers this offseason. West described his departure from the Warriors as difficult in an interview with Tim Kawakami of The Athletic.

"Frankly it was very sad, OK? It really was," said West. "A place where I thought that if I was going to work another year or if somebody wanted me to work another year, I thought I could contribute; I did not want to leave. I did not want to leave. I was very happy there.

"But those things happen sometimes. Obviously to be around a bunch of players that were as together as any I’ve seen and I think more importantly the talent that was on that team and to see the joy. There’s a lot of joy there. I think those are the kind of environments where people really prosper.

"And getting to know Steve (Kerr) a lot better than I did before… I think the one thing about him, he’s a remarkable person. He’s continuing to grow as a coach. But he seems to have a great way with these people, working with Bob (Myers), who I’ve known forever… I don’t even call it work. Being around Bob. And more importantly seeing Travis (Schlenk, now the Atlanta general manager) get a job. I’m thrilled for him. Very deserving. And also the people in the scouting department up there and the fun I had up there.

"You don’t always in your life have a chance to work in environments like that. And the ownership group, to have that many diverse people who were so successful. To see the decisions that were made up there to make this possible… it was kind of a storybook six years to be honest with you.

"Everyone talks about, ‘well, this team is loading up to beat the Warriors,' right? Well, everyone’s playing for second place right now.

"There’s one thing you can’t ever guard against is (injuries), losing your players that are unique. But there’s a joy to that place that I’ve never been around before. When you get older, certainly that plays a big part when you’re no longer there."

West was then asked by Kawakami why he left the Warriors if he wanted to remain with the franchise.

"It was time for me to leave. I’m in Los Angeles again. For me, I’ll have a chance to go in the office a little bit and watch some of the people that have been hired, to watch our coaches coach. I’ve often said I’ve done some crazy things in my life because of the timing and maybe the timing was right."

The Los Angeles Clippers will hire Trent Redden as assistant general manager.

Redden was fired by the Cleveland Cavaliers in June along with David Griffin.

Redden previously worked with Michael Winger with the Cavaliers, who is on the verge of leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder for the Clippers.

The Los Angeles Clippers are expected to hire Michael Winger as general manager.

Winger will report directly to Lawrence Frank, who was elevated to president of basketball operations.

Winger has spent the past seven season with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Winger previously worked for five years under Danny Ferry.

The Clippers have restructured their front office this offseason by moving Doc Rivers to a coach-only role and also hiring Jerry West.

James Harden played a critical role in recruiting Chris Paul to the Houston Rockets this offseason.

Paul decided not to re-sign with the Los Angeles Clippers and agreed to an opt-in and trade to the Rockets.

“I just knew that in the summertime obviously (Paul) was a free agent, and I wanted to see where his head was,” Harden said of Paul. “He didn’t seem happy, so after that we just took it from there.

“Obviously Golden State has been in the Finals and won two out of three, so that’s what everybody is trying to build up against. But we’re right there. We’re right there. Obviously, we have a lot of work to do, but it definitely puts us in a better chance.”

The Los Angeles Clippers have signed Marshall Plumlee to a partially guaranteed deal.

Plumlee spent last season with the New York Knicks, appearing in 21 games.

Plumlee went undrafted in 2016 out of Duke.

The Los Angeles Clippers have signed Tyrone Wallace.

Wallace played for the Utah Jazz in Summer League in each of the past two seasons.

In 38 games in the G-League last season, Wallace averaged 14.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game.

Willie Reed has been arrested on a misdemeanor battery charge stemming from a domestic violence incident.

Reed was booked on Sunday at 3:06 AM in Miami.

Reed signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Los Angeles Clippers last week.

The Los Angeles Clippers will remove the title of president of basketball operations from Doc Rivers.

Rivers will be freed from his front office responsibilities to return his focus on coaching.

Lawrence Frank will oversee basketball operations, including the general manager.

"I've owned the team for three years now, and I really better understand what an owner's responsibility is -- and it turns out that running a franchise and coaching are two enormous and different jobs," Steve Ballmer told ESPN. "The notion that one person can fairly focus on them and give them all the attention they need isn't the case. To be as good as we can be, to be a championship franchise, we need two functioning strong people building teams out beneath them. There needs to be a healthy discussion and debate with two strong, independent minded people.

"There are different relationships that a player needs to have with the coach and the front office," Ballmer said. "Doc put Lawrence in charge of the non-coaching aspects of the front office last year, and he's done a fantastic job. I want each of them to dig in and do what they do best. Lawrence has come on so strong in that role, and that has helped us go down this path."

Rivers will still earn his fully $10 million-plus salary per season, according to Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times.
