They already did that - first 3 games of the season. His stats weren't terrible, but most people felt he was much better coming off the bench. And the team needed perimeter defense - Enter Batum.
It was nice to see Travis come to the defense of Ike Diogu. It was the first time I've seen him interested in defense all season.
By the way, I'm happy that everyone likes each other, but it seems to me we need to be a little less nice. I think we need a jackass in the lockerroom that will ruffle feathers when necessary. It seems to me the only guy who is willing to do it is Jerryd, and he's a few years away from being listened to.
