He's like the Splitter Draft pick the Spurs made. He's going to be buttonholed over there until we need him or trade his rights for another player.
Maybe thats why the guy fell to 25, nobody wants to waste a pick if its wasted by the guy staying in Europe. So his contract will be worth around 1.3M for 4 years, thats 833,333 Euros, anybody know what he would get over there? I heard one of the analysts say the devalued dollar will be a factor in signing guys.
Batum interview starts around 8:10. The quote is around the 9:00 mark, but not sure what he really meant by it. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/h5Z-pct9GZI&hl=en"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/h5Z-pct9GZI&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
lol i think it's pretty clear what he meant. they asked if he would stay in the draft or go back to france. he said no i'm staying in the draft. no way i go back to france.
yeah, but did he mean, i'm not going back to france because i'm staying in the draft? or, i'm not going back to france because i'm staying in the draft AND i plan on playing in the NBA this year? but anyway, who gives a flip now, he aint a rocket lol.
