They have to play him so he doesn’t completely lose what ever trade value he has

Exactly. I've read multiple articles that the team is desperate to trade him. Becomes hard to trade a guy making that money that just sits on the bench

I don't know, I'd almost bench him and then leak a rumor that there is locker room problems.    I think this is better than A) letting him play because he sucks and B) benching without the rumor so people think he's bad.

I feel the cat is out of the bag at this point though.

Was Batum that good coming from Portland?  Was he a free agent when we signed him?  I didnt follow the NBA much then but even I said that’s too much for him.

 

Could they just but him out possibly?

Batum was a great piece his first two years here and a perfect compliment to Kemba. However, his play has dropped off a cliff since he signed his mega deal.

Batum is our 2016 FA contract that almost every team has on their books (actually we have 2 = Batum & Marvin)..

When the cap went through the roof because of the new TV deal the NBA signed - it was terrible for a lot of middle of the road teams.. everyone basically could sign a MAX player - even teams that were close to the cap the year before.. it's the only reason KD was able to go to the Warriors..

superstars got MAX money, fringe allstars got MAX money and role players got really bloated contracts.. unfortunately we had 4 key FAs hit the market that offseason.. Batum, Marvin, Courtney Lee and Jeremy Lin.. all four players got huge contracts that their 'play' didn't warrant but the market definitely did..

    • Not y'all logging into a Carolina Panthers message board to call other Carolina Panthers fans homers. 😮
    • Bryce Young has been a tale of two QBs. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. To use stats and film prior to returning from being benched is a little disingenuous. Completely different players. Like a new BY returned. You could actually see him trying something new every week, that he was afraid to do before - and being successful at it.  If he picks up this season where he left off, we'll have our franchise QB. And yes he was proficient against pressure. And yes he could throw the deep ball efficiently - with a couple of drops that NFL WRs shouldn't make.  If he reverts back to the unsure and conservative Bryce from the first two games and most of his rookie season, then we'll be drafting a QB in the first round in 2026. No one knows which we'll get yet. Not even Bryce. My advice would be to stay aggressive going down field. The FO appears to be bringing in receivers that can win the 50/50 ball. That opens up routes underneath. Teams stop blitzing as much and keep a safety over the top. Now what if they had to keep two? It's a lot tougher to defend the middle of the field with LBs than Safeties. I get what they're doing. BY just has to play that game. I think he will. He did in college.
