A team with 15 Batums would be the perfect NBA team. Ever seen the Globetrotters play? I have, 50 years ago in Hawaii. They like to bring the ball under the basket, then pass up the shot and pass it back out. There's a lot of Globetrotter in Batum.
Nick Young is a SG and he fuckin sucks. He's a black hole chucker who takes terrible shots (terrible combo). Have you ever seen him play or are you just looking at numbers?
A team with 15 Batums would entertain, make the kids laugh, sell a lot of tickets, and never win a game. A game would be mostly just a skills exhibition, like a Globetrotter "game." Someone has to be the hard guy and shoulder responsibility for winning instead of just setting up others, especially at $12 million per.
Physically he has superstar written all over him. Mentally and how he thinks and what he thinks is what keeps him down. This is what I think, I think the money is fine. Mentally there will be times and I think it will be the bigger moments that he will allow himself to reach his potential. And when that happens it will do nothing but payoff for the Blazer management, Organization and fans. So from that standpoint, I think he is paid fine. As time goes on, the amount may prove to be more palatable if you will.
