    A Dirk-Nowitski type shooter.

    Another guy who can stand around and watch Brandon.

    Seriously, when the guy adds 15 pounds and gets stronger, he'll be a player who could play both Small Forward and Big Forward.

    The guy's got a good stroke.

    But it does clear up 35 minutes per game for Batum, so it is addition by subtraction. I like it.

    Either McMillan or Pritchard had to go because they had opposite philosophies. Allen loves McMillan (McMillan's a great person, of course, but that shouldn't be your reason for keeping him as your Coach). Pritchard's gone.

    I have the same philosophy as Pritchard. I'm sorry McMillan is still here. I'm sorry that Allen can't recognize that Pritchard's basketball IQ is higher than Nate's. I'm sorry that Pritchard is gone.

    Allen, as usual, picked the wrong person. He's such a poor judge of human character. I'm sure that his genius, which got him his money, is related to his inability to function socially. It's not Allen's fault. He was just born without the ability to recognize many of the things you and I take for granted when we work with people.

    Not at all. He's a better shooter, and he's stronger. He's not as slow, either. When he adds 15 more pounds, he'll be a better rebounder, too.

    Are you sure it's not his flowing, Adam Morrison type hair?

    I liked Marty!! Ugh, at least it sounds like we snagged a garden Gnome as well.

    He's taller, that's for sure. Jackson was 6'7" in shoes with a 6'8.5" wingspan.

    Babbitt is 6'8.75" and 6' 11.25".

    That's a pretty significant difference.

    HCP, Keep whining, and stay out as long as you like. I've gotten the wife taken care of. She's crying too!

    I think it's a pretty significant move. Not earth-shaking, but... more than most NBA teams have done today.

    So what about Batum hinting that he'd talked with Tony Parker -- Parker asking him about the city, the team, etc.? Nic had a pretty big smirk on his face (more than normal anyway).
