Batum to a contending team
Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Minnesota Timberwolves have agreed to send veteran 3&D specialist to a contending team in a package deal that also involves multiple players and picks according to a source privy to the information. The transaction papers are about to be submitted to the Commissioner's Office anytime in the day.
where will Batum play next?
Nic Batum has been doing a magnificent job recently particularly shooting from down town. He's currently converting 3 of 7 threes for 40% in average. Batum, a known defensive specialist in his early years in the league, has become a consistent threat from beyond the arc, an ability that he has developed over the years.
"This could be a perfect opportunity for him to be relevant once again for a contending team. A player like him is very likable in this league as he can play both ends effectively." said GM rh0xxy.
Batum was a late season acquisition by the Timberwolves last year and was brought back in through Free Agency this year. He has been averaging over 14 points and almost 5 boards in 32 minutes a game so far this season.
"As much as we like Batum, we think this is the best for him. He is a winner, we don't want to deprive him the opportunity to be successful. I have to admit, right now we're not in a position to win many games so it's better for him to play elsewhere and perhaps be more relevant for a contending team." GM rh0xxy added.

Re: Batum to a contending team
If you get something solid it was a good thing to sign him to get some assets later on. Good Gming

Re: Batum to a contending team
Batum was such a locker room cancer when we had him. Made such a difference when we traded him. Whatever you get will be a nice deal. . .just makes me nervous anytime you say picks are involved!

Re: Batum to a contending team
Judging by the lol Photoshop I guess Houston and yeah Batum shot a lil too much for my taste the brief stint he was here with Paul George and they both were healthy.

Re: Batum to a contending team
Let's see what the deal looks like in total first but might be an over reaction by Houston for a poor defensive showing

When you thought you have finally found a good home, only to be dealt away again.

I'm telling you, his ratings and numbers look great but he destroys teams.
