Good to hear.  But, man...  what a bitter pill to swallow in those investments.  Batum has become a modern-day Jerome James.

I’m glad it’s out in the open now. It just sucks that those terrible contracts are responsible for Kemba possibly leaving

Only way we win with Batum now is we trade him to a team that is close to a championship for an equally terrible contract with one less year. 

 

No way in fug do you give up a lotto pick to unload his contract. We don't need cap space right now we need young talent

The thing is I really can't find a team that would take on Batum. 

The only scenario I see this making sense is if Portland decides to soft reboot on the fly, get what they can for McCollum or Lillard from another team. Then shed a minimal amnt of salary with this deal:

I really can't see them doing this either, it would likely take us adding on a few second rounders at minimum or at worst a good young player. 

 

Batum has arguably the worst deal in the league second only to John Wall's

Went to quote you literally just to say what you did in your last sentence before I finished reading it, lol...

Batum, hands down, has the worst contract in the NBA.  It's not even close.  

@Carl Spackler made the joke above about Batum being Parsons with an accent, but in all seriousness, I was hoping we would trade Batum for Parsons.  Parsons has been equally useless since getting his big deal, but apparently he was showing out in practice and the brass still didn't want to give him minutes, which led to his exile.  I get the impression Batum is just as useless in practice as he is in games and there is literally no reason to play him.  AT ALL.

Unfortunately, I think we're stuck with him.

      Slowing my roll on Ward (for now)

      Him and Sanders are the only QBs I would consider in the first round. I won’t be upset if we take Sanders, unlike some people on the board. Both have potential to be really good NFL QBs if the teams can develop them.  But as we have seen teams are not willing or are unable to now properly develop rookie QBs.

      I remember the last time we had a Cam at QB in Charlotte

      Because Young is so historically bad that it just skews too far outside the normal deviations that perspective is easily lost. That or they just don't want to believe it.  The struggles last year would have been more about the infighting and poor roster building or idiot owner's hiring practices than with Stroud. He wouldn't have been as good but he wouldn't have been ruined here and the pressure was not Carr-esk if you take out the Young created portion from his playing style.  Dude is a young guy on a team coached by a Defensive guy building a good D but not building up the O in year 2 of his HC 1st time gig. Seems familiar... Go look at his output this year and not just some crappy Thursday night implosion game, I would take that in a second and never ever look back every time without a shred of doubt while eating 4 of those games a year with a giant smile on my face.
