I'm prolly in the minority but I feel like we need to hang onto Batum.. WAH!!!!!!
yeah, i kno.. his contract is horrid but he still has value to our team - and we would never be able to re-coup the value he brings because of the terrible year he had last season.. I think it is an outlier and he will bouce back "bigly" this year..

I'd be more than happy to get rid of MKG, Zeller or Biz's contracts.. Marvin provides a decent 3pt shot and vet leadership..

I agree.  Batum is a good player.  He's overpaid, but that doesn't take away the fact he is solid in pretty much every facet, and is the glue-type of player all top teams need.  He's just not that dominant star player that can take over a game and carry the team on his back. 

I honestly think last year was simply a combination of his elbow injury and not meshing with Howard that derailed his season.  Now that Howard is gone, I think he will be an invaluable piece to the Hornets....and moving back to his natural SF position will also be big for him.

I agree he was mismanaged last season from a positional perspective. Cliff insisted on playing him out of position for some reason. Hopefully a return to his natural spot and being healthy will at least make him gold enough to make him tradeable.

      REPORT: Cade Mays will hit the free-agent market

      I have no idea why you are so irrationally upset about the notion that going out and spending $150 million free agency dollars on two interior offensive linemen could be construed as a panic response after our #1 pick we traded a fortune for had one of the worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years. It is objectively what transpired. Dan Morgan as of right now is a mixed bag. Some really good some so so some not so good some bad some really bad. You take any rational criticism personally like you are related to him or something. That's something you'll have to figure out for yourself. Anyways. The predicament Dan Morgan finds himself in for this year will define his future as GM. I sincerely hope he navigates it to perfection. But the circumstances are largely of his own creation. And not just in his stint as GM but going back to his time as assistant GM. Which conveniently people like yourself don't like to talk about. That is the reality of the situation. I like how you will carry water for Dan Morgan to the point of getting into random spats with people but make no mention of Bryce Young's glaring limitations and shortcomings as a starting QB yet go out of your way to put the onus of our struggles squarely on Canales. I mean I've been quite critical of Canales too but he sure isn't the only one to blame for our problems.

      They weren't well thought out. We needed one, not both. 2 top center/guard candidates were going to be available in the 2nd. We would have been fine with JPJ or Frazier. Drafting either over XL or Brooks would have made perfect sense. Hell, drafting both would have made sense even if we had signed Lewis or Hunt. Instead we drafted a 1 year wonder project WR and a luxury RB that we didn't need since we had Hubbard. Draft IOL, pay tackles. Plenty of 2nd round guards and centers start immediately and play very well. Those 2 picks were not good then, now, no matter how much explaining anyone tries to do. Several of called it then.
