    When they get big new contracts next season?

    How much LMA and Batum earn compared to the stats they put up is some of your biggest complaints. When Dame, Wes and Rolo are making big or bigger money next year it will be interesting to see how much they are hated. :lol:

    It'll just take one back to back loss and they'll be screaming for Conley

    If we win without Lopez, it could hurt his value.

    I have nothing against LA. Sometimes I wish he would take it more to the low post, but he's worth his contract. Batum is just complete dog shit and I knew he was not worth matching when Minnesota offered him that high contract. Wes' current contract and Batum's contract should be switched with eachother because Wes is playing more like a higher paid player than Nic "brick" Batum.

    This was the contract that Bstum was supposed to take his game to the next level. His production is essentially the same now as it was in his 2nd and 3rd year - with a dash of vastly padded assist numbers.

    He deserves to be bashed.

    Absolutely agree Batum deserves to be bashed. But we have done bashed him already plenty. At this point it is just beating a dead horse.

    You can say goodbye to Wes. CJ or Crabbe will slide into his slot. Not with the same heart and fewer stats, but for a lot less $$$.

    There's no such thing as a padded assist. It leads to a score. Dislike Nico all you want but assists are gold in the game of basketball.

    i hope this was sarcasm. We are matching whatever anyone else tries... we took a risk giving him such a big contract to start. Now, after he outperforms that contract in so many ways, we let an injury prone cj and a budding (by then) 3rd year bench guy take the place of the heart of this team? that's asinine.

    Who cares how much money they make? We (Paul Allen) need to give them whatever it takes to keep them in Portland.
    I want us to keep the entire team and I'm not hating on Nic either, Nic is a great player and is perfect for us. The only reason I'd consider letting any of our players go is if it brings us a better player in return, money is not even a consideration IMO.

    I still don't get the crying about Batum's contract. It's meaningless. The only issue that matters is would the Blazers have been a better team by not matching. I don't believe the Blazers had a hope in hell of replacing at the time what Batum gave the team. His points-per-$10,000 stat does not matter.

    That would be a monumental mistake. Resign Wes, trade batum for a vet sf and a draft pick if that's the case.
