If his performance in relation to his salary had been (logically) very criticized in Charlotte, Nicolas Batum has totally reversed the trend among the Clippers. Signed for the minimum, ie 2.6 million dollars, it showed how useful it could be in this role of “glue guy” in the service of others and of the collective.
Logically, Los Angeles would like to keep the 32-year-old tricolor winger, but the club have competition.
According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports, the one Steve Kerr clearly considered to be “The best signing of the last offseason” would thus be on the shelves of the Heat, the Pacers but also… the Warriors, three ambitious teams in search of experienced “role players”.
It is also not surprising to find Nicolas Batum on the “short list” of Golden State, the club repeating looking for veterans to surround its “Big Three” and its young shoots.
The Los Angeles Clippers are hoping to re-sign Nicolas Batum, but the free-agent forward also receiving interest from Miami, Golden State and Indiana, league sources tell @YahooSports.
