Batum is disapointed

[Mr. Body]

All Batum has to do is throw a fit and cry like a baby, and he'll be a Spur soon enough.

[ChumpDumper]

Or just say he'll never leave Europe.

[jjktkk]

Last year the Spurs flat out said Splitter was their second pick. Pop and RC both sound like Hill was their man. But this Batum news makes me unsure about which was their man.

Although like I've been saying for the last few days, the Spurs had good intel that Batum was going to Portland one way or another. Portland buying a pick to get Batum was not a surprise at all from what I've heard.

IMO the Spurs had about 3, or 4 prospects on their board, slated at 26. Bantum was maybe rated #1 on their board. Hill was rated #2 and player 3, etc... Remember I'm just speculating here. Every team has a similar system. You have to have some sort of a plan B if the player you want comes off the board.

From Daryl Morey on the Radio today. hahah


We knew what they (San Antonio) wanted in this draft. One of the best wing players in Batum, and that his staff knew this. The Rockets also knew what what all the other teams wanted and used it against them, specifically against San Antonio Spurs. Rockets intelligence on other teams allowed the Rockets to get their guy and extra picks.

Wow, a Houston radio guy pumping Rockettes sunshine up their fans' asses so they can high five each other about the fact they still are nowhere near a contender to win the le.

I guess you have to rely on spinning convoluted moral victories these days when you've got TMac and Yao on your team.

Whats the matter body, head farther up your ass than normal today?

[wisnub]

hopefully we can steal him from Rockets, the way they steal Scola from us. If dude want to go SA,let him be!!! Him and Tony will be good friends

[Indazone]

Can't steal him from the Rockets. We already traded him to the Trailblazers.

[DMX7]

Duh, he wanted to play with Tony Parker (another frenchmen).

[jag]

It really just looks like the Spurs assumed Batum would be gone by #26...so they "promised: Hill he'd be taken at 26. I might always wonder who they'd of taken if both were available. This really isn't on Houston though...i'm pretty sure they made the pick for Portland.

Ok, so when you win the le you say "we're the champs" to justify your stance to the rest of the 'loser' league....

and when you lose it, you can, at least say " we're closer than you ".

let me explain a little reality to you, my good chum...
there's only one winner. the rest are ALL LOSERS.

You're right, there's absolutely no difference in a perennial contender and a team that hasn't made it out of the first round since Hakeem...

[Bruno]

I highly doubt he will do that. While Batum really wanted to play in SA, he is fine with playing in Portland.

Both Spurs and Blazers wanted him, Blazers got him. Batum won't be a Spurs player and Spurs seems sincerely happy with the hill pick. End of the story.

if there are only 2 classifications (winners and losers) then NO...there is no difference.

tell me...what convenient classifications for teams would you like to create?

"teams that are REAL close and have won the championship recently"

Well...

As they say, close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Original Rockets logo.....SWEEET! thats the sign of a true fan....

also, intelligence!

[SynicFan]

Can't steal him from the Rockets. We already traded him to the Trailblazers.

and what a brilliant move that was!....

[SynicFan]

it's not a conspiracy but it's great move by the Blazers

also...brilliant move by CLUTCH CITY.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

also...brilliant move by CLUTCH CITY.

We can read regular text just fine.

[angelbelow]

hahaha i guess batum was wearing a black suit white shirt silver tie.

[SynicFan]

Batum and his agent should force a trade a la what may have happend with Scola.

oh come on guys...
you are beginning to sound like Mavwreck fans with all the Scola talk.
he's gone. gone gone gone.

[SynicFan]

We can read regular text just fine.

then why have the option?
i mean really.
lets tell McDonalds to stop giving us options on their menu's.
cause we're American's. we dont like to think. we like things laid out for us.

[LakerHater]

Didn't this kid fail a stress test?!?

[Indazone]

lol another Rockets Mav hater.

[Indazone]

Didn't this kid fail a stress test?!?

He did. He had a bad ticker and his dad died of a massive heart attack during a game at the free throw line. Just be glad as Spurs and Rockets fans that neither of us got him.
