Should've traded Batum when his value was higher.

    He's completely useless. Babbitt was world's better. If we can get any good player for Batum in a trade, we should take it. I can't believe people weren't willing to trade Batum for Nash. And it's not just Batum, by the way. I would part with any of these guys. But the time of overvaluing Batum needs to end now. He's never gonna be a star in this league.

    Larry Miller waited too long to make a move. Trade values are at an all-time low.

    He's been a fucking curse to this franchise.

    just imagine eric, you are watching this game, batum is sucking...meanwhile, a rival teams gm is watching the same game, and also seeing him suck. why would that gm give you anything worthwhile when he knows batum sucks? if he sucks, why would any gm give a fuck? he has his own problems to solve, if you know what i mean

    Tonight Batum made careless passes. The funniest was when Felton got a turnover because Batum passed it to him low and it skipped through Felton's legs. That's how Felton passes to others, a couple of feet off-target. It was Keystone Kops as usual.

    Anyway, Batum is far from a pinpoint passer like a Grant Hill or Pippen.

    He's wildly inconstant on the court and turned down the Blazers initial offer for an extension. I'd trade him for those 2 reasons alone. If we are going to overpay for a swingman, I'd prefer we at least get one with a handle and a killer instinct.
