    Did the Monstars from Space Jam steal his talent?

    While he was on the floor the Blazers outscored the Bulls. But obviously, because he shot poorly, this was just a coincidence. Because shooting is all there is to the game of basketball.

    Good thing we've got a cheap understudy ready - I bet Crabbe's line was much better, right?

    Passing up wide open shots and lanes for a stat padding pass is his calling card.

    I counted 6 times where he passed up an open shot to pass to a teammate who had a defender draped all over him.

    3..2..1..Go Nico! I'm a fan, sure he's slumping offensively. As to his personal life, divorce can be draining. I know he's got a target on his back now.

    It is (thank you, Kahn) illegal for us to trade with MIN. The complete opposite, say, of trading for Hibbert. One was 2 competent GMs talking--one was a guy getting advice from Jaynes.

    Batum is a nothing. Can't imagine him getting anything close to what he's making now on his next contract. He was signed on the idea that he had all these "potential". He's not improved one iota, he's gotten worse.

    In all seriousness though. Batum seriously is concerning. If he can't hit a shot, our contending chances are over.

    Either we replace him or he gets out of this funk. At this point, I would give more burn to Crabbe and hope he can give us the points missed from Batum's terrible play

    So would I. Even if minny could trade for batum, no way they would consider it. Especially since we played them last week. Wiggins took batum to school a few times

    Trade Batum before he gets even more exposed.

    I don't think Minny would take anyone other than Durant, AD, Or LBJ for him

    I don't like that one. I think Jeff Green would be great because he gets to the line, slashes and posts up. He's a great free throw shooter as well
