Batun's extension and minutes - very interesting

[The_Lillard_King]

No I'm saying Nic's age to that of Kobe, Tmac and Lebron coming into the league and the difference in their skill set and most importantly ATTITUDE. Now you counter balance that with what Crash brings already at the ripe age of "29" and that's where the no brainer comes in...... Do you really think that an offense anywhere in the NBA will have Batum as a second option and where? He can't even back his man down to the hoop, let alone get his own shot unless he's wide open, he can barely fight through the screens... If Batum wants to be a star he better start working out and finding what he does better than anyone else and let the league KNOW IT!! Otherwise he's not a player you'd trade a Crash for. Not even close.

Just 5 days later, still think it is a no brainer that they sign Wallace for 3 years and trade Batum?

I think Batum vs Wallace with be the motivation all year for each to seek the contract they want in the offseason and I think the blazers brass knows it and will wait to see who wins!
