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.

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
