MJ paid him like a superstar while everyone knew he was/is a “glue guy”.

He was pretty damn good the season before he got paid.

 

Maybe you're right 15/6/6 the year before he got paid and the first year of his deal.

What’s funny is Batum had a ton of interest when he was a Free Agent that year and one of the primary teams flirting with him was - the 2016 Golden State Warriors.  

Batum was the backup plan if they couldn’t sign (also Free-Agent)…

…Kevin Durant.  Lol.  Look it up, KD was their Plan A in 2016 and “Nico” Batum was their Plan B.

Pretty sure history would look a little different with Nico Batum and the Splash Brothers against Bron.

That said, the Hornets have had so many fails but I don’t think I’ve EVER seen worse shooting form than this #2 overall pick behind AD…WTF… not sure what’s worse, the right elbow or the left hand… 🙃 Go Hornets, we should finally have a good young team this year.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By thennek · Posted

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.

      Big news that could dramatically affect our offensive production for the rest of the season.

      By Newtcase · Posted

      The lack of production is especially surprising given how much effort the team put into coaxing the best from him.  In just six short years he’s had the opportunity to work with 3 different GMs, 7 different head coaches and 10 different starting quarterbacks.  There’s literally no excuse to be made that one of those combos didn’t work.  It might be time to look withIAN.
