    - wrong forum.
    - That's BS. Spurs GM couldn't say something like that to a Blazer player unless he had the permission of the Blazer organization. It's against NBA rules.

    I was glad we sorta screwed over SA taking Batum on draft night, though I was mad we decided to go with a pick that was supposedly going to spend another year in France to develop.

    If there is a rule about GM's talking to other team's players like that, its probably a crazy mistranslation. This is a google translation of a Frenchman learning English who's quoting a Spur. That's like a hand without thumbs trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.

    The Spurs are going to face a rough offseason this summer. They desperately need to get younger and more athletic. Going after Batum is a step into that direction. Parker is untouchable and they would never trade Duncan which makes Ginobili their best trading chip. I'm curious how this will play out....

    There is no way that he could be an anorexic 99 pound player. He wouldn't survive a minute on the court with that weight.

    Maybe Batum is mistook Hakeem's fasting for getting better at playing so he decided to fast for longer to get way better
