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.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      By rayzor · Posted

      they have the best defense they've had in a long time...probably the best in the reid/mahommes era.  but i think they are probably the most beatable they've been in a while as well. record doesn't exactly bear that out, but they just don't look as strong on offense as they usually do. lots of reasons for that, like trying to build chemistry with newer receivers, but right now they just aren't as frightening as they typically are. i mean they'll probably win tomorrow, but i don't see them as the strongest team in the AFC right now.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      He will likely remain unsigned the remainder of this season(barring someone being in a pure QB panic AND making poor decisions) largely due to the cost. I do think he will get multiple offers to be a backup QB and perhaps a couple to potentially start this offseason.  I will continue to beat the same horse over and over.....he should go to a successful team with an established starter. If I were him, go to somewhere like SF, LAR, etc. Somewhere with a successful QB coach and brilliant offensive mind and ALSO a set situation at QB. Ride the pine and adjust for a year or two. Chill and be around better culture. I would suggest the same for Bryce but he will be limited to wherever we can trade him.

      I dont think the clock has started yet on canales.  Once he gets his guy then the pressure starts.  WFNZ/mike kaye said  yesterday that he thinks there are 4 options here regardless of bryces status, Geno, Fields, Wilson maybe Jones.
