Nicolas Batum may not be one of the highest-paid players on the LA Clippers, but he's been a fan favorite for years. When he was unexpectedly traded for James Harden last season, he quickly became a fan favorite among Philadelphia 76ers fans. Now, the French star has made his way back to LA this season. Many were surprised to see Batum rejoin the Clippers during his free agency with the Philadelphia 76ers, especially with what many believed to be an unexpected breakup.
