Strong feelings on that name. Insert name of player that would help the Pels that another team would trade away as pure salary dump here... Sure Batum has dealt with injuries, but so did Jrue and now look how he’s doing. Batum played a lot better in the second half of the season once healthy. He is an all-around high b-ball IQ SF, but yea probably too much of a risk with his huge salary, possibly if Hill’s contract could somehow be cleared in the process.
If Boogie chooses to sign with a team like Mavs or Lakers, who can sign him straight up and may likely offer the most money long term- then those teams may be good business partners and structure it as a sign and trade so Pels could get a 20+mil trade exception (which it looks like can only be used to receive back one player in return). Or they could say screw it, why help a division/conference rival. Then it’s a repeat of this roster minus DMC and possibly Clark.
