No I wouldn't

And I don't see where LMA is a top 10 player when he's not even top at his position.

I like his game but no.

Fair enough - but SI has Batum as the 43rd best player in the NBA and LMA as the 12th so your dismissal of my opinion was a tad overboard.

I could give two fricks what SI thinks

What is their measurement based on anyway?

Speaking of lame team names, let's name a team after the Oregon Trail...

Well what part of my assessment do you disagree with? Surely you don't think that LMA is any lower than 15th best in the league.

Surely you can't have Batum any higher than top 40 player in league.

Batum is a SF. We have nobody to guard him.

If. You took the time to look at the box scores of the games I provided from last year you'd see that Batum ate the Pels alive last season.

I'm not dismissing the impact LMA has. But to say it's a net loss for the Pels is far from Paul Pierce.

Around 15 or a bit lower is about right.

He's a rock solid defender(Lilliard/Mathews being sieves hurt his rating a bit though) that shoots lights out and is a walking triple double(averaged 7.5 rebs last year and nearly 6 assists,both were near the top at his position)

His athleticism and length are also great.

How serious is Asik's condition? Praying it's just a one-game thing.

He practiced.. Going back to back and the tougher matchup for our Center is the Sac game. Got to think it's no biggie

I agree that batum out is better than LMA out, We don't have anyone to effectively guard batum, we have someone to effectively guard LMA

Batum is a very solid SF. I think he's very under appreciated by many because his ppg isn't up there.

He shoots 45.2/36.9/83.2 for his career.
His career average is 13.6ppg, 5.9rpg, and 3.3apg.

I'd take him for his contract any day. 3rd option on his team and he's a good defender.
