Pretty sure he's mulatto, actually.

You're still a retard.

You're still a lonely fat [COLOR="Black"]f[/COLOR]uck, who pretends to be a doctor.

lol he's a below average player for his position, never been a difference maker on a team, not remotely close to all star level, making 22MM a year. Essentially a role player/rotational player clogging up your cap. it's about as shitty a signing as it gets.

it's about as shitty as Dallas signing Wes Freaking Matthews to a huge contract.

If you want to be taken seriously...don't say things like the above.

It's just such an ignorant opinion it isn't even worth responding to.

Everything I said is the truth. You're not winning anything with him as your 2nd or 3rd or 4th best player.

So if the Spurs added Batum last playoffs...they had no chance to win it all?

LOL they couldn't win with one of the most stacked and balanced lineups ever.

[DCL]

Do franchises think they can print money now?

actually, *we* all help pay for these ridiculous contracts.

the entire machine gets its income from us.

And your take is that they have no chance to compete if they just add Batum to it?

You said no team could win with him as the 4th best player...and I'm curious why the Spurs would go from legit contenders to not having a chance while adding a player in Batum that would be their 3rd best player.

[EricGordon23]

I think I'm done with the NBA. If average players are getting paid this much.

Aldridge, Leonard, Parker, are all better, even West too, who for some reason decided to come off the bench when he would start on any other team.

Batum is a slightly better version of Danny Green.

[FrenchDude]

Lemonde.fr just reported that Nicolas Batum is now the highest paid french athlete in history...

[SexSymbol]

mozgov contract suddenly looks like a steal lol

[PejaNowitzki]

OK, these contracts are getting absurd right now.


There is no WAY the market has pushed someone like Batum to multi year over 20 mill.

Sure, just jack up ticket prices some more. $20 mil+ for an average player? The NBA is officially out of control.
