Underwhelmin Underwhelming big time if you factor in how many minutes he got each game. The actual bigger problem for me is he is not efficient though.
If Chandler has a pulse and actually cares about his job on the court he is already better than Batum even If he too is in a slump
So now batum doesn't care? Jesus Christ just because he's not out there pumping his chest and getting emotional doesn't mean he doesn't care. There are plenty of players like that. Duncan for example.
The guy loafs around and plays like he doesn't want to be on the court this year. Has nothing to do with pumping his chest. Thanks for making me laugh though.
He's playing the way he's always played. The only difference is his shot ain't falling. Thanks for making ME laugh
I seen his name as one of the possible options. But Luol Deng would be a decent pickup. For Nic or without including Nic. He can defend and he is good scorer. If you were to pickup him without moving Nic, he would be a guy that could put pressure on Nic to produce or make him take a seat. I just don't know if it's a contract this organization would want to pick up.
I think the Batum situation is reaching critical mass. We can't afford to not make a move now with Nic playing as awful as he is. He doesn't even belong in the NBA. ALL season it's been this way and I don't believe he's going to turn it around. I 100% expect Neil to make a move if we have any chance or any motivation to play for a ring this season. The defense is starting to play us differently and it's showing. It makes the offensive end much more difficult for Dame and LA because teams know they don't need to play D on Nic.
In reply to B-Roy's post about Chandler's down season - it's on par with Batum. Looking deeper into his numbers I think the reason why we haven't seen a trade for Wilson (yet?) is because Neil doesn't think he's worth giving up a first-rounder for and that's what Denver is holding out for.
Batum is banged up--the guy needs to take a few weeks off once we get RoLo, Freeland, and Crabbe back.
Uh, duh? I meant Chandler specifically. And still believe that. It is dead. I do think we get someone by the deadline though.
I'm still holding out hope that we get Jermaine O'Neal, would still love to get Prince too, but I don't think we clear two spots. Definitely think Claver can be safely removed from the situation, not so sure about Thrill who would probably be the second one out the door.
@SiriusXMNBA: On positions of need Olshey says they are a little thin on the perimeter. Would want to add a piece for playoffs, not to cover injuries
@SiriusXMNBA: Olshey says he'll only make a move if they can add "an impact guy." Wants everyone on the roster to immediately embrace a new guy
Only person I think the entire roster would immediately embrace is Mo Gotti. But Clavers salary doesn't match. It would have to be T-Rob which I'm not sure the team is willing to do.
Sounds like he's paving the way for an acquisition. Still think Kevin Martin is the best (realistic) option.
