    I can defend the Crabbe signing. I can defend the Harkless signing. I can defend the Turner signing. I can even defend the Ezeli signing.

    I can't defend the Meyers signing. Nobody was even remotely interested in him, by any accounts. I have no idea why they gave him that contract.

    RA for me has become a deal breaker. If we trade our starting SF for him after:

    Trading a starting SF for a project PF
    Drafting 2 PFs
    Giving Butters that horrible contract...

    I will be firmly OFF the NO bandwagon...

    No and if we trade for him and his bloated contract I'll be pissed. Even if we trade Crabbe.

    Just cause you shit on everyone doesn't mean you're right and they're wrong. These guys are plugged into the organization and that jsports guy knows Courtney Lee personally, so it seems. The Trey guy said that New York and Houston were working on this trade even last month.

    Damn man. I was on the sick of Batum's shit bandwagon. But damn. That trade looks awful now. Henderson and Vonleh for Batum. Yikes.

    Batum is on a 5 year/120 million contract.

    Not something I'd want on my books. But I guess I'd rather be paying Batum 24 million than Turner 17 + Meyers 10, so it could have at least saved us from some of the blunders we made last year.

    Almost had Parsons on a similar deal too....

    It's not been a good last few years.

    Henderson was servicable once he got healthy and the jury is still out on Vonleh IMO. Im still thinking he makes a big jump this year and if so, then the trade was good in my opinion.

    I don't miss batum at all for one reason.
    Guy never finished strong at the rim, always was a 1 hand dunk attempt that he'd get blocked. OR a finesse layup that he'd miss.
    Aminu might shoot like he's throwing rocks from a mideval catapult & he can't dribble in traffic. But there is one thing Aminu knows how to do when he has the chance.

    Henderson walked and we didn't retain any value for him so who cares how he did for a year.

    Vonleh could prove me wrong, i just don't see it.

    I would rather have Batum at that deal than Turner AND Crabbe.

    Aminu also has zero handles. Dude looks like he handles like a semi-truck. And i say that while being an aminu fan. Moreso than others here anyways.

    Nic was going to walk, too. Someone was going to throw ridiculous money at him and we weren't going to match.

    He has four years and $100 million left on his current deal. In the grand scheme of things, would you rather be paying Batum $25 million a year, or be able to offer Nurk an extension?

    I thought he played well in the played will in the playoffs and played well after the Nurk acquisition.
