    I mean, we don't do that and we don't sign Turner.. Turner is a poor mans Batum. Id definitely see what it would take for CHA to flip Nic for Turner at the deadline.

    I am he's aggressive, and looking to score.
    However Batum in Portland was like this maybe twice a year? He's supremely overrated and extremely frustrating to watch the rest of the time.

    I never liked it. Especially now with the log jam with the front court it looks even dumber. Even though yeah Noah looks great, don’t know about his ceiling. Looks fairly low to be honest

    Last couple games Nico has had 5 pts in a whole game....he's just teasing the crowd tonight...like he used to in Portland...as to the deal...Gerald Henderson was a good part of that and if you've seen Nic's contract compared to Noah's.....it makes sense

    Then what does that make Turner?

    I get the frustrations with Batum, but he's the same type of do it all wing as Turner but can shoot and play off the ball. He's so much better than Turner, and a much better fit.

    3/4 Time
    Us - 74
    Them - 67

    3PM/A (%)
    Us - 7/18 (38.9%)
    Them - 7/24 (29.2%)

    FTM/A (%)
    Us - 5/8 (62.5%)

    Turnovers

    Them - 4

    Point Off Turnovers
    Us - 11
    Them - 4

    They won that quarter. Improved their 3pt, and free throw shooting. We kept on committing turnovers. We're going to need to dig deep in the 4th to pull out the win.

    I'd really like to get CJ some more catch, and shoot opportunities on a regular basis.

    Fuck. Nico teased more than my ex-girlfriend with the old "As long as I get off work before 9...." routine.
