    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    I don't feel $11mil a year for Batum is overpaying; he's an underutilized player who is entering his growth years (23-26) in terms of maturity and talent. If we're under the cap for the extent of his contract anyway (and we are), there's no flexibility lost on signing a guy who will improve with age and increased responsibility in his role.

    just go with the assumption he will sign and go from there. where there's smoke there's fire.

    do you believe he will be an allstar? that's the litmus test if you want to pay over $11m a year for a guy.

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    that's the problem, though. Unless stuff's gone through the league office that NO ONE has tweeted/written about, MIN can't possibly offer the deal they say.

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    In a conference with Kevin Durant? It'll be tough. I think he could make it one year in the four during the contract. Not perennial, mind you, but I think he could make it. I'll have a better feel for it after seeing him next to Lillard.

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    My answer is possibly, but it'll depend on how good Lillard is. See, my opinion is what they call "nuanced".

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    I would tend to agree. But it is interesting how "close" Haynes became with the "source" if nobody else has reported it. Who is his source?

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    that is a "no". if you have to put qualifiers on it, he's not going to be an all-star.

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    because, you should be certain he will be an allstar. otherwise, not worth the money. not going to be an allstar.

    If Kevin Durant was paired with Raymond Felton, he'd still be an allstar.

    What about Darko. Did you count him? Or was that already considered.

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    Not over paid is probably the wrong term. Not ridiculously over paid is probably better

    Looking at other SF's

    Guys right around Batum in millions

    Granger 13
    Gay 16.4
    Iggy 14.7
    Gallinari 9.4
    Wallace 10
    Deng 13.3
    Batum 11.5

    Taking age into account, I don't think it a bad contract at all. I guess I am trying so unsuccessfully to say that It's not like Nic doesn't belong on the list of guys making 11 and over given his PER, age,

    MIKE DUNLEAVY.

    PER 16.66.

    I'm thinking this is what Batum is going to basically end up as, a French Version of Mike Dunleavy.

    I would happily take a SF that averages 15/6/3 per 36 minutes on the floor for his career

    Already considered. Darko allows them to go to about 7M starting.
