Anything on whether the Spurs are pursuing Batum?

[MoSpur]

I believe the Spurs were going to draft him, but he went to Portland who selected him before the Spurs could. He seems like a good fit for the team. Has anyone heard or read anything about the Spurs possibly signing him?

[resistanze]

He's already agreed to return to Bobcats?

Yep. Nobody can sign yet, but they have a deal. It's done... unless the deal is with the Mavs. Then you can back out.

[MoSpur]

Yeah I just read that. Never mind. Close thread then. My bad.

Charlotte offered him a 5-year/$120 million deal...don't think we'll be seeing him in a Spurs uniform any time soon

that's 30 more $M than Kawhi

Highest paid French player ever?

Wonder what Tony thinks of that....

But ironically, a pretty healthy chuck below the max he could have received. I think his max was around 150M - he actually did CHA a favor as crazy as that sounds.

Seems like he had his mind made up well before Free Agency began..

Tony and Boris now in depression. Batum makes more than them combined!!!

Oh, oh, if Boris is depressed he might hit the 31 Flavors hard...

But that's five rings to zero. So maybe they're fine. No you're right Parker is pretty insecure about that

[Keepin' it real]

Making his contract VERY easy to trade (for those "Spurs fans" hoping for a trade).

He's probably happy being the winningest French NBA player ever.

Well said.

And more importantly the winning-est point guard of his generation.

Depends on how people view Fisher's five rings. I'm too much of a homer to concede that to Fisher though. Parker has a finals MVP and more winning seasons so that's got to be some sort of edge.
