Report: Batum getting his money from Charlotte, doubt he even meets with other teams

Yeah, wtf is "max money"?! No way Batum is worth as much as the max a superstar player can get such as Curry or LeFlop

"The max" in this case refers to the maximum percentage of the cap that a given contract can take up.

The numbers will be eye opening since this is a new market we aren't used to and it's not likely Nic will live up to the deal, but like we just saw with Josh Norman, it only takes one team to set the market. It says alot that Nic is turning down overtures from a very good team in Toronto and a big market in New York.

The free agent market is so barren this year, outside of KD, you could make the case Nic is the best player available, and with the new TV money coming in, every team has cash to spend. Cho and everyone else knew this was coming, hence why he bought low on Kemba and MKG.

Just to get it out of the way, no, we shouldn't be burning this team down to save money for the first 200 million dollar contract in NBA history next year in Steph Curry. The Suns did this this past offseason to take whatever tiny chance they had at Aldridge and it failed miserably. However, if for some reason Curry was interested, you can bet the front office would do whatever it could to make room.

The priority right now should be keeping this squad together with a few tweaks and trying to establish some year to year consistency.

    • Mike Davis is like yeah, why would these coaches expect me to watch film on our next opponent if I'm playing good.  Yeah, I really don't pay attention to a lot of stuff around me if I'm doing good.   also Mike Davis, how dare they give all the reps to CMC.  from just listening to that interview, I think Mike Davis likely was often in Mike Davis' way and he can't comprehend that aspect.  Even his story of why he hated people.....was weird.  He hated Steve Spurrier because Spurrier was like hey Mike, Marcus Lattimore left...and we need you to step up into that role/void and be more for us.   And Mike Davis was like, can you believe that motha trucka!! Nah Steve.  Just give me the ball and leave me alone (paraphrasing it all obviously but that was the gist). 
    • Unless he's 1,000%, just sit him an extra week at this point to let him get his legs back under him. I want to see him out there as much as the next guy, but this was a serious thing and I'd rather wait an extra week than put him out one day too early and risk something going wrong, play the long game for once.
    • God, these posts are really starting to piss me off If we're relying on Moore, Idzik, and Canales to carry that weight, then we're royally screwing over our young WR room.  It's not that those guys can't help with some of it, but these young promising WRs are going to miss out on a lot of learning that can only be provided by the vets on the team.   You do realize that coaches spend ZERO time in the locker room, right?   They are only in there just before games and at halftime, but the rest of the week, they have their own locker room, they only spend time with the players on the field and in the film room.  There is soooooo much time that you're leaving unaccounted for where players are working together to get better. Players are constantly talking about their game and how they can improve while they're in the locker room.  If you think career long special teamer David Moore is going to be able to carry that water in the locker room, then you're sorely and woefully mistaken. Even beyond that, if a coach pulls a player aside to give advice between series, that still means there are 4-5 other WRs who aren't getting individual advice, where that's normally a time a vet like Thielen is going over with them what he's seeing out there and how they can do X, Y, or Z to do A, B, or C better on the next drive.
