Let's pull a Portland & sign Batum??

[PrinceJL]

If we can get out of Al's contract (last yr 15), I would love to throw money at Batum.
Depending on if they want to re-sign Wallace, then POR needs to figure out their PG & C needs over Batum.

My ideal summer would be:
Trade for Rondo (DH/AJ/+), clears 15M (which BOS can absorb)
Sign Batum (if needed, a front-loaded contract as they need a PG/C)
Resign either CJ or Howad (cheaper one stays)
Sign AK (no more than 4M)
Find a 4th big (Memo??)

Roster:
Rondo / Watson / ??
Hayward / Burks / Bell
Batum / CJ or Howard
Millsap / AK / Evans?
Favors / Kanter

we got length starting: Rondo/Hayward/Batum
outside shooters starting: Hayward/Batum
solid frontcourt rotation: Millsap/Favors/Kanter/AK
solid bench: Burks (our spark ala Harden/Manu?), Kanter (eventually displacing Millsap) AK playing more PF, CJ/Howard (same fill-in), Watson (the bulldog), Evans (need that early-oop)

AK? Enough. He's dead already. Or he should be.

 

[Archie Moses]

Pretty sure he tore his AcL.

Outside of AK, I strongly feel we can build that team & make to the 2nd round next season, WCF in the the following, & definitely in the Finals by the 4th year w/ this team!!

Pretty sure he tore his AcL.

Looks like he just has a bone contusion (whatever that is)...

You're on Crack. Smack.

This would be awesome. Too bad it won't happen.

What did Batum do last night besides hit a couple of wide open 3's?

Overrated.

Didn't we just break him?

Lol something this team struggles with

 

[Jazz4ever]

I hope we go after him fairly hard. Even if Portland matches, it leaves them in a sticky situation with Felton and Camby. Lets see if Allen wants to pay through the nose to keep his tread mill team in tact.
