    Batum is an enigma, not just on this board were he is both the most overrated and underrated blazer, you never know what batum you'll get from game to game.
    Batum is an average NBA starter mostly because of consistentancy issues. He is an above average shooter and an above average defender who can guard 4 different positions at times. You add all that to his age and the fact he will just be entering his prime at the end of this contract and it makes him an asset and we were a team that lacked assets. Also adding his rare skill set togethor with his age and he is a far from an "untradeable" contract.

    Joe Johnson was traded. Gilbert Arenas was traded. Rashard Lewis was traded. Twice.

    No such thing as an "untradeable" contract.

    By your opinion or in reality? You've said many times that Joel P is better than LMA.

    Freeland is going to be an above average rebounder.

    Though, he's invisible on the offensive end. No plays are ran for him and he doesn't call for the ball.

    My opinion is the same thing as reality. I'm compassionately waiting for humanity to catch up. Like Batum and unlike Przybilla in his peak 2 years, Aldridge "can" do this and "can" do that, but usually "doesn't."

    I always thought Freeland would be a solid 4/5 for our team. It'll be interesting to see how much playing time he'll get with LA and Hickson playing in the front court.
