The Clippers have made their first two cuts this month, letting go David Noel and Dontell Jefferson.

Noel and Jefferson signed as free agents a few days before training camp opened.

"At certain positions, we have more of a need than others," Coach Mike Dunleavy said. "Right now, at the point guard spot, the three guys [Baron Davis, Jason Hart, and Mike Taylor] are pretty good, so we can lose one there, and we just have a ton of wings with Eric Gordon coming back.:

"That's just kind of the way it is."
