Pelicans sign Payton, Clark

The New Orleans Pelicans have signed freeagent guard Elfrid Payton and re-signed guard Ian Clark.

New Orleans announced the roster moves Monday along with the formal signing of former Lakers forward Julius Randle, who agreed last week to a two-year contract worth about $18 million. Payton and Clark each have signed for one year.

The 6-foot-4 Payton is a New Orleans native who played in college for Louisiana-Lafayette.

He spent most of his four NBA seasons with Orlando before being traded to Phoenix last February and has averaged 11.2 points and 6.4 assists during his career. Payton now joins a backcourt that also includes Jrue Holiday and E'Twaun Moore.

Clark averaged 7.4 points in 20 minutes per game last season.

The 6-9 Randle, who averaged 16 points and eight rebounds with Los Angeles last season, joins a frontcourt featuring five-time All-Star and fellow former Kentucky player Anthony Davis.

Tolliver rejoins Timberwolves

The Minnesota Timberwolves have signed forward Anthony Tolliver to a one-year, $5.75 million contract.

The 6-foot-8 Tolliver spent two seasons in Minnesota, from 2010 to 2012, averaging 5.5 points and 3.9 rebounds. He has played for nine different franchises and spent last season with Detroit, where he averaged 8.9 points a game.

He shot a career-best 43.6 percent from 3-point range — seventh best in the NBA — and connected on a career-high 2.0 threes per game on 4.6 attempts. He also shot 46.4 percent from the floor last season, a career best.
