    It was debunked the moment it was posted.

    He only did that for the nickname. He thought Clyde the Explode sounded kind of dumb.

    So, I've learned that Batum is a gangly PF while dribbling he ball, he only gets assists because of the offense, and he isn't explosive, even though he jumps high, is fast, and dunks with his head near the rim.

    I love this board. It's hilarious.

    well it is only because of Stotts offense that he gets these assist #'s. He never had #'s like this under McMillan.

    Only because Nate had him camped in the corner waiting for Roy to pass him the ball. The guy is a naturally gifted passer.

    I think if Nic had the ability to distribute without turning it over so much then he would have had more opportunities under Nate to do things but he is a turnover machine

    Nic needs to cut down on his turn overs. We need his passing for the offense to work at it's best, but I would prefer if he cut down on the low bounce passes to Robin. Passing is one area that he has not peaked yet. He can get better.

    Fine but only 4 as a Blazer and the best one was for fucking France maybe if he punched Durant in the nuts he would have not gotten lit up like a candle.

    It certainly is an interesting trade scenario. Cleveland needs a younger version of Deng. He does them no good at this point and he will bolt after this year.

    Deng is pretty damn good. I would say a little better than Nic ....right now. Hard to say how good Nic will be in three years or if he will even resign with us. But will Deng sign with us next year? Too close to call for me. I would have to defer to Terry and Neil on a situation like this one. I would not base it only on what is visible on the court.

    Huh? The link you provided shows that Batum has higher career averages in 3-pt. shooting percentage and 2-pt. shooting percentage than Deng.

    It was prebunked. The guy who posted it didn't even consider it legit.
