As i said before, when you're a SG/SF and you've never averaged more than 15ppg, you sure as hell aren't a max player
Batum does so much more than just score. Valuewise he deserves a max for than some "scorers"
And he will get a max deal

I don't get why we keep hearing about this Valentine/Sabonis pipe dream. Valentine will likely kill it in his pre-draft workouts because he's a high IQ player with an all-around offensive game. Projecting where he's going to go in this draft is going to be a huge risk. You'd have to at least trade into the 11-12 spot to limit that risk. What do we get out of the trade? Can we potentially dump Asik in the process? Ajinca? Multiple picks doesn't seem overly likely unless you are looking at 13/28 from Phoenix.
I'll play around with some scenarios if we want to target Valentine.
6 and Ajinca for 12 and Trey Burke
6 and Ajinca for 11 and Shabazz Napier
6 and Ajinca for 13/28
Buying low on 2 potential rookie PGs who haven't panned out. Burke at least showed improvement last year. We manage to get out from under Ajinca's contract which was made a little more palatable towards the end of last season.
Regardless, if Kris Dunn/Buddy Hield are there, I'm not quite sure why you gamble on going after Valentine. But that's my personal opinion.

I disagree.
I don't want anything to do with him if he's getting max, or near max money. I think there are plenty of players that can provide near what he does for considerably less.
The only way i could justify spending that much money on him is if i was a team that already had my two superstars on good contracts and needed that extra wing player to push us over the edge to be a sure championship team.
We aren't that team.
