Batum is far from untouchable, so I'm a little surprised at the hostility the idea is engendering (and this is coming from a charter member of the Batum fanclub). Of course, BP said some rather silly stuff IMO, like Cunningham being as good or better than Batum, now and in the future. That's just crazy talk. Still, if Batum could help land a top young or young-prime point guard, I'd certainly consider it, much as I like Batum. But it would have to be quite a player.
