Bill and the Suns reached a buyout and then chose to join the Clippers. Recently, Bill's agent Mark Bartelstein was interviewed by Front Office Sports.
He said: "Brad doesn't want to go to any place that only rents him for a year; he doesn't want to go to a team that only plans to introduce him as a big name in the short term and let him find another place after playing for a year. Bill doesn't like changes, which is one of the reasons why he has been in Washington for so long. So, his goal is to join the Los Angeles Clippers, play an excellent season, and then renew a long-term contract with the Clippers next summer."
"We just feel that the Clippers provide Bill with an opportunity to truly show his best self and return to his original appearance, which is to be a player who has been selected for many All-Stars and Best Teams."
