    Batum might keep his spot for a while. But I'd be shocked if Wallace isn't the starting SF within a few weeks.

    Maybe Batum can learn a thing or two from Wallace about playing with intensity on every play.

    I think this is just something that will come with time for Batum. It's not as if we do not have Wes on the roster already...

    No doubt, and slashing! Could have been the difference last night against the Faker's when he was bricking wide open three's. Take it to the Hoop Nicolas!

    Yes I think he's improved on it this year already, he can really slash and take it to the rim with those long arms.

    Gotta go with Wallace at SF. He'll probably have to work his way in the first few games, but he is too good of a player to have him be a reserve.

    I would obviously agree, I think you no doubt give the start to GDub. But I think, even with Camby and Roy back there should be plenty of combination's to get Batum and Rudy mins. Its nice to finally have a little depth again!

    On TNT, Barkley is arguing with everyone else about what teams should do. Barkley says any team that's not a contender should blow up and likes this trade more for the Bobcats.

    Kenny thinks this makes us dangerous in the playoffs and Mchale likes the trade too.
