Staying home was important to Jordan Farmar, so he moved from the Lakers to the Clippers as the backup to Chris Paul.
He officially signed a two-year contract worth a reported $4.2 million on Thursday. The team also signed reserve center Spencer Hawes to a four-year deal worth a reported $23 million.
The announcements came during the trial involving Clippers owner Donald Sterling, who is fighting to retain control of the team in an ongoing saga that has turned ugly at times.
