The deal includes a team option and a trade bonus. Bouna Ndiaye, Batum&#8217;s agent from Comsport, negotiated the contract.\n\nBatum, who chose not to exercise his $4.9 million player option earlier this summer, became a free agent.\n\nAbout to enter his 18th season in the NBA, Batum has already expressed that there is a &#8220;very, very good probability&#8221; that next season will be the last of his career.\n\nThe 36-year-old French forward played less than 18 minutes per game for the Clippers last season, but participated in 78 games, starting in eight. Despite his age, he remains a good defender and stands out for his ability to open the court with his three-point shooting.\n\nBatum&#8217;s versatility shone in the Clippers&#8217; first-round series against the Denver Nuggets. In the postseason, he shot close to 40% on 4.7 three-pointers per game, in addition to 1.7 blocks and 0.9 steals.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<p>Clippers president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank stated before the offseason that the team &#8220;1,000 percent&#8221; expects Batum to return next year.<\/p>\n\n<cite>Lawrence Frank<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nBatum has spent most of the last five seasons with the Clippers, after long stints with the Portland Trail Blazers and the Charlotte Hornets.
