Caron Butler and the Clippers have agreed on a three-year contract worth $24 million.
Butler chose the Clippers over the Spurs, Bulls, Heat, Nets, Pistons and Bucks. His $8 million annual salary is more than most of those teams could have offered, and he should immediately start at SF ahead of Ryan Gomes and Al-Farouq Aminu. The veteran Butler will be the Clippers' fourth or fifth scoring option, and we don't anticipate him playing a ton of minutes less than a year removed from knee surgery, so temper your fantasy-league expectations.
