That honestly makes sense, since it's beginning to look more and more like we are gonna let go of biz. I wouldn't be upset with that I suppose.

@chadfordinsider
No draft picks changing hands in the Batum for Henderson/Vonleh swap I’m told. This probably means Kaminsky to the Hornets at 9

And I hate everything.

We gave up on Vonleh before we ever had a chance to see what he could become. We might look really foolish in a year or two. That's a lot to give up for Batum, who was coming of a rotten year and makes a hefty salary and plays the same position as our best player.

Batum and MKG will be really, really good on the wings together

Yup. It was intended to be Kaminsky for Cody.

Wait!!!! Batum only has one year left on his contract? Are you **** kidding me? We traded Vonleh for a one year rental of Batum? Jesus Christ I hate this **** team.

You would love that wouldn't you? No more MKG to kick around. Who would be left for you to complain about? Certainly not Kemba or Lamb.

Maybe you'd love it as well (depending on the return, of course).

i'm worried that we might trade MKG at this point. We're like that guy standing on the edge of a bridge or the drunk guy who just lost his job and his wife left him. There's no telling what we'll do. Total wild card scenario this team could be literally anything by 9 o'clock tomorrow night.

A lot of fans of other teams like the deal for us. Batum compliments Walker, and MKG extremely well.
