In the article MPM posted earlier in this thread Batum seems like a problem or that's how I read it. It was like he was defending himself and Marv and throwing the rest of the team under the bus but how do you get rid of Batum and his crap contract? :crazy:

“When I got here that first year, we played for each other,” Batum said. “Marvin (Williams) and I have been trying to move the ball, to show how we can play together.

“Tonight? I don’t know what happened tonight! I have no idea.”

That 48-win team had an exceptional sense of “us.” They defended with passion, and found ways to squeeze out victories, winning seven of the last 10.

Nothing like the past two games.

“(With) the talent in this room, starting with us, everyone expected something more,” Batum said.

“People ask why Nic Batum got that big contract. It’s because I’ve always played for that guy on my left, that guy on my right. Never just for myself.”

i read that as directed at Howard (and maybe others). other than his contract, i don't have a problem with batum. he is simply overpaid and miscast as a #2. he at least plays a modern style of hoops, which we need.
