    Pretty sure he's going to, as France is one of the countries hosting Eurobasket 2015, and he's been featured heavily on its promos.

    Text exchange with my brother after a Batum passed-up shot/turnover during the last game:

    Me: "Do you think we could get the French Army to draft Batum so we can free up his salary from the cap?"

    Brother: "They'd just offer him a blindfold and a last smoke."

    This is what the Batum threads bring to mind for me.

    ice-cold shooting?

    freezing out teammates?

    slippery-as-ice ballhandling?

    alienating those who are supposed to like him? :)

    Yes, but it requires a time machine, sperm donor and a turkey baster.

    trade Batum for Knicks 1st round pick, Andre Igoudala, Tim Hardaway. Batum to Knicks, Bargani to GSW. waive claver. turn that 1st pick into Stanley Johnson. this is probably the best trade we can make. then use our 1st pick on rondae hollis-jefferson. this trade could push us over the top

    He just needs to get that right hand healthy - it's clearly effecting his shot.
