    I don't have the patience to go hunt down contracts, but I think Nic is getting paid correctly. Would I like 18/9/5 out of him.....HELL YES! Would that throw the balance and chemistry of our team out of whack.....HELL YES! He is a perfect fit to our system...... a system that has one of the best records in the NBA.......on a team who's team chemistry ON and OFF the floor (which I've seen first hand) has never been better. Can't measure what he does in just stats. Perfect player......NO. Best SF in the NBA.......NO. Best SF for our teams system and success......ABSO-GODDAMNED-LUTELY!..........FAMS!

    All those players attempt A LOT more free throws to Batum's average of 1 per game. He seems to only drive when the lane is wide open and the defense has rolled out the red carpet. We don't need to see a ton more scoring necessarily, but more aggressiveness to the rim has always been a hole in his game. We have enough 3-point gunners, we need slashers to the rim for higher % shots to elevate to next level of contending.

    So, Durant?

    If it looks like LeBron won't resign with Cleveland, I wonder if we can convince them to take Wright, TRob, and Batum for his expiring contract. :ghoti:

    He has since taken his game to a whole new level.

    It may help that Chicago's star is injured once again and has a green light to score

    Dante Cunningham did great at Center for us in an emergency.

    How good would Butler be at the third banana on a team where Bananas 1 and 2 don't disappear for long stretches at a time?

    Butler ha played great, because Rose has been out. Doubt he'd average those numbers on our squad.
