    Do we have our 1st rounder next year? Didn't we traded away our pick to CHA for Wallace?

    I don't agree. Next year's free agent crop isn't very attractive. Aside from the top level players, which would cost even more than Hibbert and we might not have the cap room for, it's pretty weak. At least no one available as attractive as Batum.

    If we sign him, we still have some 7 million or so to work with going into next year. Could still be enough to bring in those 2nd level guys.

    This article says Batum on the roster, but he is not going to be around. And I thought we dumped Shawne Williams??

    I am no professional, but isn't this common knowledge?!

    Welcome, OldSchool! Professionalism not needed here (as you'll quickly see).

    We haven't dumped Williams yet. He's never been in uniform, but unlike Okur, we have some options with HOW we dump him. Stretch provision, buyout, trade, etc.

    They're waiting to see what the best option will be. Don't worry, he's not going to have a roster spot in November.

    9 1/2 years. At your age, time flies. Anyway, no one is putting a gun to your head to read it.
