All this positive talk about Batum has to be the REAL reason RoyToy left. I mean, I don't think that guy was ever going to change his stance on Batum.
I don't think so. This is why posters like Roytoy and Blue9 can't ever be truly happy with the team. They would rather see the player fail than watch them succeed. I, in Leonard's case, want him to make me look like a fool so I can go homer on him. Until then, it's soooooo hard to look at anything positive. I still have hope though!
seriously, besides Lebron and Durant, how many all around SF's are there in the league better than Batum if he maintains his current level of play?
reporting me? LMAO! For what? Calling you out for your hatred? This isn't Olive buddy, you should jump back there with all the other negative nannies.
There are a lot of very good SF's who have good to great all-around games besides Lebron. Durant, George, Iguodala, E. Turner, Afflalo, Deng, and Lance Stephenson come to mind. There's also guys like Carmelo and Josh Smith who are great at certain things but less so at others. Parsons isn't bad either. I'd probably put Batum in the 4-8 range depending on the day. On no day would I rate him over Lebron, Durant or George but after that he's right there.
Here's what your list is paid. I'd like to see Batum lower at the Afflalo level. 2 Batums don't make a Carmelo or LeBron. But 10 Stephensons or Parsons would help a lot more than Batum. 22.4 Carmelo 19.0 Lebron 17.8 Durant 14.3 Deng 13.5 Josh Smith 12.9 Iguodala 11.3 Batum 7.8 Afflalo 6.7 E. Turner 3.3 George 1.0 Lance Stephenson 0.9 Parsons And Blue, when anyone picks on you for supposedly being negative, just pick on him for being a dumb positive rube. And get after Mags for his spelling. I feel pain whenever whenever I read his posts.
