Does any team want Nic Batum?

Charlotte will waive and stretch Nic Batum to make room for Gordon Hayward. What team needs a shooting guard?

Presti will take him. Just have to attach a first rounder.

Warriors is perfect for him

Lakers? Batum is rather SF than SG.

i like the idea of a s&t with boston involved, hayward to charlotte, horford to boston, and batum + pick to okc.

He is better off going back to Europe tbh

Maybe Mavs....but nothing more than vet min

How is he defensivly?

The Lakers can use another wing with size - and in Batum's last healthy season he put up 9-5-3 on 45/38 splits. He would be perfect in a limited role off the bench for the Lakers, giving them size to defend the perimeter

Lakers wing rotation:
James/Batum
Matthews/Carusso
Caldwell-Pope/Schroeder

First team that came to mind is the Warriors. They'd probably make him an all-star somehow. If not them, then the Bucks should roll the dice on him.

Isn't he washed?

One miracle at the time. If they could try to make Draymond an all-star again that would be a huge accomplishment

I've been so wrapped up in the idea that he's overpaid, I honestly don't know if he can play at all anymore. Is he worth minimum? I genuinely don't know.

Pinkyring · Post #15 » by **Pinkyring** » Sat Nov 21, 2020 7:50 pm

Mavs have always liked him and we lack big wings and secondary playmaker so I'd like it

warriors, lakers or clippers for the minimum

He was a good defender before all the injuries but that was several years ago.

He could probably go back to Portland for the min.

Lakers are set at SG defensive depth with;
Matthews
Caruso
KCP

They need SF depth to backup Lebron. Don’t know if Kuzma is mobile enough. If Batum can still play D he’d be great but I have no idea how washed he is.

He belongs in Portland and should have never left. I know he’s washed, but it’s destiny.
