Position: SG, SF
Age: 30
Height: 198 cm
Weight: 86 kg
Birth place: Baltimore, United States of America

The deal is worth $32 million, according to multiple reports.

Barton last month declined his $14.7 million player option for the 2021-22 season and became an unrestricted free agent.

Barton plays both shooting guard and small forward and is known for his top-flight athleticism.

The 30-year-old averaged 12.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 56 games (52 starts) last season. He shot a career-best 38.1 percent from 3-point range.

He missed six weeks due to a hamstring injury, eventually returning during the Western Conference semifinals when the Nuggets were ousted by the Phoenix Suns.

Barton has career averages of 11.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 552 games (213 starts) over nine NBA seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers (2012-15) and Nuggets.
