However, wasn't there news about him reitiring after this season?
His wife came out and said he was retiring after the olympics. Batum himself didn't say those words, but he did threaten retirement if he was traded from the Clippers. Well, that didn't happen.
He also came out last season and said he wasn't retiring amid a 3 game absence where he had to deal with a family issue. But I think that was more so to address a mid-season retirement rumor vs. after the season.
If Batum isn't retiring, I'd be all over him for the TP-MLE.
