Because the Clippers are in need of a backup big man to play behind DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin, they have been linked to Andrew Bynum after the wayward center was suspended indefinitely Saturday by the Cavaliers.
The Clippers would have interest in Bynum if he was released by the Cavaliers, according to several NBA executives who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
But according to one Eastern Conference executive, the Clippers would have competition for Bynum because the Miami Heat also would have interest in the seven-footer.
