Batum is getting a max deal
Batum should not sniff a max deal.
Guys named Lebron, Durant, Paul George, and Kawhi should be the only SF's with max contracts.
SG/SF that have been in the league for 8 years and have never averaged better than 15 ppg, are not max deal guys.

That is one of the consequences of the Max Salary slot. Guys like LeBron are getting paid under their market value because the owners figured it'd be better to over pay a Batum than to give the LeBrons (actually KGs) more money and power. The salary cap is set to increase about 85% from the era where your mentality on contract values is stuck, nearly twice what it used to be. Who should get that money? Teams aren't allowed to give it to the true Max Players. The next tier of guys getting max or near max money makes sense.
