    He never said that, his agent said he said that.

    Big difference.

    Jeff Green's a ball player. Green + Olynyk for Batum + McCollum I could get behind.

    That's not happening. They just extended him.

    Are you really giving an organization that drafted Nik Stauskas that much credit?

    I agree. As much as I love Wes as the man gives us his heart and soul. Nic is the antithesis. There is no mistaken who his home country is. He is soft. In any case we either need to get something more dynamic than Nic at the three. Or we need to take Wes and upgrade him. This team if they are going to advance is going to have to look at these two positions. It would be unfair to move Wes. He has gave it up for this franchise. So It has to Nic. Either that or needs to do something he hasn't come in showing. Be a man.

    I'm 3 years ahead of you guys when it comes to Batum

    Must be sobering for a certain few people around here to realize I've been right this whole time. His ceiling just isn't that high.

    Not as sobering as it is for you to know that your posts are predictable and you need to change up your game. so boring. yawn.

    I think he needs a shooting coach - most of his misses are long. It's like he's aiming.

    We're 20+ games in and his "slump" goes back to pre-season. His PER could dip into the single digits -- 11.5 now.

    WRONG... This year is an anomaly. Show me where Batum has had these numbers before, otherwise "get the fuck outta here with your weak ass shit!"

    It's not his numbers. You continue to miss the point.

    It's the fact he has a limited ability on the offensive side of the floor. If his shot isn't falling he's almost useless because he can't create his own shot or even post up smaller guards. He's done a great job at not working on his weaknesses and in his 7th season he's basically the same player he's been his whole career.

    I don't even care if he has a hot stretch for a couple weeks. Batum has shown he's just very average most of the time. It's been shown year after year. That's fine.... as long as the Blazers aren't paying him almost $12M per year, which they are.

    I'm sure the excuses will continue to be made, though.

    Is Tony Parker soft? No. He's a multiple time champion. Your logic is flawed.

    Batum turns 26 today.

    Mags: "he hasn't missed a shot as a 26 year old!! So awesome!"
    RoyToy: "he hadn't hit one, either. Offensive liability."
    Kingspeed: "his shooting percentage is infinite. Learn the game then post."

    26 and been in the league for a bunch of years. His potential is gone and what's left of him is disappointing.
