Poor guy has to live in Charlotte. Maybe it's nice there.

That's racist!

Thank you for chasing down guys on the break and making people think you were a better defender than you really were causing unnecessary arguments in the forum

 

[santeesioux]

I'll always appreciate the guy coming in day 1 at 18 (I think) and being the starter.

Trying to usurp your job?

I wish that Olshey had either done this after the draft, so I had a chance to enjoy it, or, if it has to happen before the draft for whatever reason, he did it weeks ago so I didn't waste time caring about it.

Because right now I have feeling I'm not going to like the 2015-2016 Blazers that will be built in Olshey's image much.

He had his issues but I still think he was a great piece for us overall.

I won't forget his last second in-bounds oooooop from Dre or his 5X5X5X5 (was it another 5?) games or his come from behind blocks (earlier in his career) among other things.

I was at that game. It was EPIC.

and for one last time......BATUMSHAKALAKA!!!

My friend took his daughter to this game; it was her first game ever. She became a fan for life because of Nic Batum.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Best French player we ever had!

 

[riverman]

Just when Nic was getting comfortable comprehending english here, now he'll have to learn to understand a southern accent

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

I'll miss Nick. He was fun to watch when he was on. His all round game was underrated.

Dear Batum, you were the first Small Forward worth a damn in my fandom to the Blazers. Most of your career you were standing in the corner at the end you were not standing in the corner as much.

The End.

 

[riverman]

French players just feel better in blue uniforms

Bonne chance, Nic. Merci pour tout.

Not standing in the corner as much? He led the league in miles traveled on the court. Plus he was the no. 1 facilitator of our offense.

Hope he ends up with the Spurs someday.

Starting to hope Aldridge ends up with the Hornets.

 

[TBpup]

I think he will have a very good year in his contract year. There, is that nice enough?

I can see how you'd say that, because he had his worst year after he was signed to his last big contract. Oh wait, no he didn't - he had his two best years in a row.

Aw man, reading this thread took a little of the wind out of my sails.
Bonne chance, Nico!

He could win in Nola. AD and him would terrify the league

 

[BigGameDamian]

I guess Aldridge won't be getting an apperetiation tread if leaves Portland now.

The Hornets are Charlotte again. Nola is the Pelicans.
