Batum has started more games than our other three rookies combined. Who would have thunk that before the season started? He's actually started more games (62) than Brandon Roy (61) this season. The only Blazer who has started more games than Batum is Aldridge (65). BNM
Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Tony Paker, Devin Harris, Dwight Howard, Durant, etc. But, yeah, I get the idea. I wanted to trade for Gerald Wallace, but when they said the Bobcats wanted Batum, I wanted no part of that. That was a deal killer for sure.
Well, I didn't want to include Batum in a trade for Wallace or Carter, but I never would have predicted that Batum would outplay Vince Carter head to head - this season.
