Mills, a 16-year NBA veteran who has no problem shooting the ball, says 208cm tall point forward Simmons has the perfect skillset to complement the offensive power that Leonard, Harden and shooting guard Norman Powell provide the Clippers. When the Guardian caught up with Mills he was resting in the expansive and extravagantly decorated Clippers locker room in Ballmer’s new $US2bn Intuit Dome arena, located near Los Angeles International Airport.
