After one season with the team, 39-year-old point guard Pablo Prigioni would like to re-sign with the Los Angeles Clippers in free agency.

Pablo Prigioni had some moments with the Los Angeles Clippers this season. He had a ridiculous eight steals in only 14 minutes and 53 seconds against the Miami Heat in January, ran some solid pick-and-rolls off the bench with Cole Aldrich, and was able to instil a little veteran composure. However, he didn’t bring much offensively as the season went on and his 29.5 percent three-point shooting was a disappointment after he averaged 39.8 percent over his first three seasons in the NBA.

Like many Clippers, Prigioni doesn’t know what to expect this summer, waiting for free agency to decide his 2016-17 season. Along with players such as Jeff Green, Jamal Crawford and Luc Mbah a Moute, there are plenty of unknowns for Doc Rivers’ team this summer.

However, Prigioni has made it clear that his first option if he stays in the NBA for another year is to play for the Clippers again, per Gigantes (excuse the questionable Google translation. Unfortunately, I don’t speak Spanish, but you can easily get the gist):

“I do not know if I’ll have options to follow, but the first in the United States would like it to be with the Clippers. If that option is not available, perhaps I will go to Europe for one year. “

For a team in need of a backup point guard, Prigioni may be able to pickup up a minimum deal and Doc has made it clear that he wants to bring back as many players as possible. However, at 39 with a significant shooting drop off, all while being surrounded by so many talented point guards around the league, there might not be many offers for Prigioni elsewhere.

That may not even matter for him, though. As he said, if he can’t stay with the Clippers, he may simply return to Europe, where he enjoyed a storied career in Argentina and Spain before coming to the NBA.

We’ll have to wait and see what awaits Prigioni. In the meantime, the Clippers have another backup point guard issue to worry about as well. Austin Rivers, who has a $3.3 million player option for 2016-17, could easily opt out and seek a pay rise elsewhere as the salary cap explodes to around $90 million.
