when the trade went through i only cared that the sixers got the draft assets they needed, i didn’t know much about the clippers bench. KJM has time to develop, morris is cooked, and roco has been quite good, but man batum has been something else. he’s brand new to the off/def schemes the sixers runs and somehow they all run much better with him on the floor.

he should take all the time he needs to settle personal matters. fans love to give players shit for making millions and not working hard enough for it, but at the end of the day uprooting your life so suddenly is awful for a family. his family doesn’t owe the fans an explanation. just hope he’ll stay here until we get a few rings.
