Cleveland will be able to give Bynum a huge contract..... only reason why. Also people calling Batum a baby, he just wants best for him. Also whoever said Batum sucks on defense needs to check. He is not the best, but someone said he worse than Iggy. In what blue flying world do you live in. Iggy and defense, I know a Laker fan who rather keep Artest, bc he does not want to see Iggy try to play defense.I had Iggy in fantasy and watched a lot of 6ers game dude did jackshit.
Igg is abetter player. Let's just ignore all around game, I said Batum is a bad defender in comaprison to others. Iggy gives up far less points per posession and holds his matchup to worse shooting and in fact statistically he was the best wing defender in the game period. Kobe, Ron, LeBron, Pierce, Ariza, Afflalo, Kidd, Marion, Gallo, Manu, Wade, Thabo, KD, Jackson, Crash, Thabo, Dudley, Hill, Battier, and even Melo and Turner last year as a starter all clamped down their matchup better . Batum can put up points and try on D but trying doesn't equal doing it effectively, neither does steal or blocks alone as that often comes from gambling or helping. As an individual man up defender he is a joke compared to most of the SG/SF that play heavy minutes put west. Only the Clippers tandem of Butler and Foye, Harden, Wes and Beasley in Minny, Bellineli, and Wright in GS gave up more points per posession. He is far from an elite defender and the last guy you want on the ball late for it all despite the length as he just doesn't know how to use it like Prince could in his prime. Fields also was bad
: makes it a win for them too depending what picks they giving up of course. Deal isn't as bad as you are making it if anything Orlando should have tried to get more (should have got Marshon Brooks out of the deal)
