I just read this on rotoworld.com: "Tony Parker wants Spurs to sign Nicolas Batum Appearing on his weekly radio show in France, Tony Parker said that he would like San Antonio to sign Nicolas Batum, who is a restricted free agent in 2012." "My dream? Spurs signing Nicolas Batum. Nico knows the story, he knows that the Spurs were getting to draft him. I was going crazy, it was the first time I was attending the draft. We were gonna play together until the Blazers messed up. I really want the Spurs to sign him as a free agent." Both players are from France, and Parker is very high on Batum's future. It wouldn't be surprising to see San Antonio make a bid for him when the time comes."
