Its a really bad business move unless they have another deal in mind.Waiving Batum is insanity from Charlotte. Seriously, that's super dumb.
Would be good for him to have a buddy. I don’t think the competition will be super stiff. Prime Batum would be great in our system. Does DL have his number in the Rolodex?The question is... does Batum want to play in Utah? Gobert needs to get on the phone.
I mean, for them, maybe not? They tend to use their money particularly poorly.Its a really bad business move unless they have another deal in mind.

He’s not really played much but didn’t have an injury and isn’t super old. He’s a fit guy... if you need him to create that’s a no. The only huge concern I’d have is defense and even if he’s uninterested and washed he might be better than Niang at defense. When he was in his heyday he reminds me of Ingles a little because he’s kind of a do it all type. Never the shooter that Ingles was though:I haven’t seen Batuum recently at all (who has?). How big of an upgrade over Niang? Would DL do it?
I watched him play in person last year for France vs Bulgaria. Aleksandar Vezenkov and some 4th rate Bulgarian wings made him look kind of washed...I haven’t seen Batuum recently at all (who has?). How big of an upgrade over Niang? Would DL do it?
We are talking about a minimum deal. Just a shot to see if we can get him back to something resembling his previous shape...Man why not just look up Batum's stats last season. The guy averaged 3 and 3 on 34 % shooting and 28% from deep... If the legend of Mike Conley and Ed Davis haven't taught us a lesson. The man used to be a baller, but now he is worse than Niang. No thanks
Just cut Niang and sign Batum.He’s not really played much but didn’t have an injury and isn’t super old. He’s a fit guy... if you need him to create that’s a no.

Would rather bring in a perimeter defender or stretch 4We are talking about a minimum deal. Just a shot to see if we can get him back to something resembling his previous shape...
That's what he is if we get him to play at a good level again. You don't even need to get him to play at his prime level. Just get him back to his shape from before last year's injury riddled season and he will be more than worth it.Would rather bring in a perimeter defender or stretch 4
That’s actually what he would project as... if he gives a ****. That’s always been the issue.Would rather bring in a perimeter defender or stretch 4
