We're all acting as if we're losing LMA. It's Batum, a good player with a "high ceiling" who takes games off, plays vastly overrated defense, throws bad passes and disappears in the playoffs, simple as that. He wants $12 mil a year? You open the door for him and walk him outta the building as fast you can and let some poor, misguided team pay him that much. I will never understand the infatuation this city has with Nic Batum. He's athletic, has a good 3pt shot and has a knack for making some great blocks. He does not win you games. That is all. (*Prepares for an epic amount of hate*)
