    He's on a rookie contract. Portland needs a tall pref. defense minded PF/C on their bench.

    Batum makes those same blocks on Kobe.

    Thanks for jinxing the Rockets tonight. Batum decided to come out of hiding, it seems.

    He could get a couple but he wouldn't make Kobe his little lapdog.

    Batum is a very nice player. I would try to get him if we dont have to give up any our significiant pieces like Patterson, Lowry, Martin, Scola

    We already have Courtney Lee. Or did everyone forget?

    I am personally not as high on Lee as the majority of Clutchfans...

    The guy is afraid of contact, small and can't create for others. Decent shooter, slightly above average defender. Nothing special, at all...

    He isn't special, but he is very solid and capable of starting and not embarrassing himself.

    Noooo, keep Morris ... Batum and Parsons would be great offensively and defensively ... Wouldn't lose anything (hopefully) with Morris coming off the bench.

    Nicolas Batum single-handedly rapes the Rockets.

    And Kevin Martin? My goodness. His game has been negated so badly, what with that kick-the-defender move no longer valid; and he just sort of falls apart otherwise.
