“Do everything you can to bring me back Monday,” Batum would tell a trainer. “I’ve got to be back.”

Batum admits the truth, though. He doesn’t know if his sprained left ankle will be healed enough for him to play Monday. ...

“You work all year long to play those games and when an injury like that happens it’s tough,” Batum said. “I trust my teammates and I trust the coaching staff. I’ll try to get back as quickly as possible. But when you play all year long and to be in this position, it’s tough to not be on the court.”

may be an indicator of his desire to stick with the team past this season.

It's pretty much a given that if we show him a proper offer he will still be here. I think that goes for most of the free agents on this team.

I appreciate that he really wants to play but at what point does his presence while not a hundred percent actually hurt the team more than it helps?

His desire shows his commitment to stay, which would make the offseason trade worth it.  

I kind of want to see Clifford and Spoelstra chess their rotation again tonight with an activated Batum.  Get a W and it's a best of 3 between coaching staffs.

Good on Batum.  But, I have to point out, not to be that guy, but look at all the guys on our team that wear Adidas and the ankle problems they have.  Just sayin'...

I jave a personal beef with Adidas because those were the shoes i was wearing when I came down on mone, suffered a third degree sprain, and didnt walk for a month afterwards.

Also, I've never got the impression that Batum wanted to leave.  I just hope the Hornets don't bring in Gettleman to handle contract negotiations...

"His agent hung up too fast, pull the offer.  See what Rick Brunson is doing.  I bet the trusty old vet still has some in the tank...  real meat and potatoes kind of guy!"

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
