Good luck returning to L.A. Understandable considering his family lives there.

I would have loved to have him back. Offered a lot of things this team lacks.

He won the team a play-in game almost single handedly.

Can't blame him in the slightest for heading back home, though.

Well wishes to the Batum fanily.

Thanks Nico! Great all around glue guy that I wish we could have kept. We didnt have a chance as he wanted to go back. Nothing but love.

Sorry to see him go - he really would have filled the PF role that we are currently missing!

Now that George is here, there was never going to be a 25 mpg playoff role for Batum like there was last year. So that, along with his family situation made it not a surprise that he wasn't going to be returning.

Was a cool short term player for us. I'll miss his random quick trigger threes.

He was a good soldier for us. Made me eat crow regarding his usefulness, and he's a smart player in this league.

He was the perfect fit. Really sucks. Best of luck to him. He made an impression in his short time here.

Play-in Batum will go down in Philly sports history.
