Good to hear.  But, man...  what a bitter pill to swallow in those investments.  Batum has become a modern-day Jerome James.

I’m glad it’s out in the open now. It just sucks that those terrible contracts are responsible for Kemba possibly leaving

Only way we win with Batum now is we trade him to a team that is close to a championship for an equally terrible contract with one less year. 

 

No way in fug do you give up a lotto pick to unload his contract. We don't need cap space right now we need young talent

The thing is I really can't find a team that would take on Batum. 

The only scenario I see this making sense is if Portland decides to soft reboot on the fly, get what they can for McCollum or Lillard from another team. Then shed a minimal amnt of salary with this deal:

I really can't see them doing this either, it would likely take us adding on a few second rounders at minimum or at worst a good young player. 

 

Batum has arguably the worst deal in the league second only to John Wall's

Went to quote you literally just to say what you did in your last sentence before I finished reading it, lol...

Batum, hands down, has the worst contract in the NBA.  It's not even close.  

@Carl Spackler made the joke above about Batum being Parsons with an accent, but in all seriousness, I was hoping we would trade Batum for Parsons.  Parsons has been equally useless since getting his big deal, but apparently he was showing out in practice and the brass still didn't want to give him minutes, which led to his exile.  I get the impression Batum is just as useless in practice as he is in games and there is literally no reason to play him.  AT ALL.

Unfortunately, I think we're stuck with him.

    • Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.
    • Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy
    • Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
