Clippers 3 news! Batum expressed his opinion on staying in the team, Simmons went out to fish, and one person may be cut

On May 20, the NBA playoffs have entered the division finals, while the Los Angeles Clippers have entered preparations for next season, losing to the Nuggets in the first round, regrettingly ending the journey of this season. There were three news from the Clippers this time, among which Batum expressed his willingness to implement the player option, while Simmons went out to fish in the sea, and Eubanks might be cut by the team.

In a recent interview, Batum talked about his future plans and said: "I plan to implement the player options, which is likely to be my last season. The plan is like this. Yes, it is very, very likely this is my last season."

Obviously, Batum does not intend to leave the Clippers just now. He wants to stay here. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to return last summer. After all, the team traded him away at that time.

The Clippers also love Batum very much. He also made a good contribution in this playoffs, averaging 5.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.7 blocks per game. If Tyron Lue could adjust earlier, the Clippers might not have been eliminated in the first round. Batum holds a $4.9 million player option this summer. Even if he chooses to break out of the contract, some teams are willing to provide him with new contracts. However, judging from the current situation, he does not plan to leave and hopes to end his NBA career with the Clippers.

Simmons has already started vacation mode. After the team was eliminated, he has returned to Australia. Recently, he has also posted his news about fishing on the sea. For Simmons, where his next stop is also an unknown. The possibility of the Clippers leaving him is still very low. After all, this playoffs did not bring much contribution unless he accepts a very low contract.

Finally, let's take a look at the possible adjustments of the Clippers this summer. The most likely thing is to sack Eubanks' non-guaranteed contract. After all, he has not made much contribution to the team. Once he chooses to sack him, it means the team has better salary space. For the Clippers, some supplements still need to be made this summer. First of all, the power forward position is the position, which requires a better choice; at the same time, it also needs to be made to supplement shooters and young players, otherwise there is a lack of some vitality, which depends on whether the management can bring surprises.
