News links >>>>>>> Batum talks about Wei Shao: I have also been criticized for not reflecting his whole career in the past 18 months.
Today, Batum talked about Wei Shao in an interview.
“Before I came here (Clippers), I was labeled as the worst player in the league. There is a question of whether the external situation is suitable for you, which does not define what kind of player you are. The past 18 months have not reflected his entire career.” Batum said so.

I always liked batum but he was in a similar position as Westbrook. No one wants batum at 24m but batum at 10m is a steal. Westbrook at fucking 40m+ is fucking atrocious but Westbrook at 6-8m is a serviceable contract
Raptors fan: I have always liked Batum, and he used to be in the same situation as Wei Shao. No one wants to give Batum 24 million annual salary, but if you can win him with 10 million yuan, it will be quite cheap and good. However, the 40 million annual salary of weishao is extremely outrageous, and 600-8 million is relatively reasonable.

Forget serviceable, 6-8mil for current Westbrook is a steal.
Fans: A reasonable fart, 600-8 million signing Wei Shao is robbing!

Batum also quit on Charlotte. Dude barely cared and gave minimal effort. Westbrook for all his flaws still plays his ass off.
Lakers fans: Batum didn’t want to play for the Hornets at that time. He didn’t care about the game at all and couldn’t contribute to playing. Although Wei Shao has a lot of shortcomings, he plays very hard!

nah, westbrook goes hard when he wants to, but when he’s not engaged he literally does nothing but watch the ball.
Seriously next time you watch a game with westbrook, watch him closely. He’s a liability on both ends of the court
Lone Ranger: No, no, no, listen to me, when Wei Shao wanted it himself, he really played hard, but Yogueta out of the situation, basically, it is an audience who stands on the court watching the ball to earn money.
No kidding, next time there is a game of Wei Shao, just stare at him alone, and you will find that he is a pit at both ends of attack and defense.

What? Westbrook doesn’t play help defense at all, and half the time is just jacking up shots. That does not count as “playing your ass off”
Pioneer fans: What, weishao doesn’t help defense at all, and he spends half of his time in waves. This is not a “special effort.
[-]Lakersragelark -4 points 2 hours ago
6-8 mil for a turnover machine who is the worst 3 point shooter in the league? Sign me up!
Lakers fans: 600-8 million sign a wrong machine and a three-point blacksmith? Sign me, sign me! Isn’t it just mistakes and iron strikes? This is my killer ~
[-]Cavaliersdokocha0216 5 points 5 hours ago
Lakers fans are so corny, this man is not on your team anymore, it is beyond me why yall continue this crusade of dragging him.
Knight fans: Lakers fans are too shameless. Wei Shao is not in your team anymore. Why continue to talk about his gossip here?
[-]KingsObi_Wan_KeBogi 197 points 11 hours ago
We goin wild if we’re comparing Russ to worst player in the NBA now.
Sure if you’re paying him 47 mil his value is horrible. But at whatever his next contract is he still can bring a ton of value.
King fan: Are you crazy? Compare weishao with an alliance crane tail? Weishao’s 47 million annual salary is really scary, but during the next contract, I believe he can still make great contributions!
[-]ColdPressedSteak 80 points 10 hours ago
His playmaking is still generally good and even in his declined stage, besides LeBron, he was basically the only Laker putting drive/rim pressure on the opponents D
22-25 min role on like an $6-$8 mil contract would be ideal
Fans: Although it is on the decline, the organization ability of Wei Shao is still OK; In addition to James, he is basically the only player who can bring defensive pressure to his opponent by breaking the attack frame. Spend 600-8 million to sign him and let him play 22-25 minutes each time, which is ideal.
[-]:sp8-1: Super 8yusbishyus 49 points 10 hours ago
he should get more than that. if d rose can get 14m, he should be in that range.
Fans: Wei Shao is not only worth this money. If Rose can get 14 million, Wei Shao should also be worth so much!
[-]WarriorsRedHotDumpsterFire 2 points 4 hours ago
Nah. Rose has adapted his game and knows his role and stays within it. Westbrook plays the same way he always has.
Warrior fan: No, no, no, Rose accepted his current style and role, but weishao closed his eyes and went to the black one by one.
[-]San Francisco WarriorsElectricalKeyboard 1 point 2 hours ago
He drove a lot more than LeBron statistically too and was the best at drawing free throws per 36.
Warriors fans: according to the data, in the Lakers, weishao broke more than James, and the number of fouls every 36 minutes was also the largest.
[-]TheOnionWatch 7 points 7 hours ago
Russ at a minimum is ridiculously cheap. He’s still a plus.
Fans: The basic salary for Wei Shao is too cheap. He can still help!
[-]BullsWrightwoodHiker -5 points 7 hours ago
He’s played likes he’s worth about $40 million less than the minimum in the playoffs, though. Plus, he’s been really bad in the regular season.
Bull fans: Wei Shao’s performance in the playoffs, don’t say you give him a base salary, and the team’s 40 million dollars are not too much. Besides, he played badly in the regular season.

If Russell Westbrook could or can provide a ton of value a team sitting in tenth place wouldn’t have shipped his ass out the door.
Fans: imagine that if Wei Shao can really provide a lot of value to the 10th team, he will not be kicked out ~
[-]NBAjankkore 0 points 9 hours ago
I agree with you. He’s like poison to a team’s flow and chemistry and it’s like he literally cannot learn or control himself. I wouldn’t want him on the roster for free if I was coaching.
Fans: Agree. Wei Shao is like a poison to restrain the rhythm and chemical reaction of the team. He doesn’t want to learn at all and doesn’t know how to control himself. If I am coach, I will not put him in the lineup even if I give him for nothing.

Preachhhhhhh
Celtics fans: cut ~ don’t know how to pretend to understand.
[-]Ben_Simmons_ 254 points 11 hours ago *
Worst contract and worst player are two very different things
Ben-Simmons fans: in my understanding of empathy, bad contracts and bad players are two different things. Everyone needs to be reasonable ~ 555 ~

“Really look at him. He’s a really good player. If you work really hard, you might be able to be a Nic Batum type of player .”
Josh’s comment stunned Giannis into silence. After a brief pause, he basically told Josh to not even think about it. He claimed that if he ever became Nic Batum, he’d quit NBA and go back to Greece.
Giannis: “If I become Nic Batum, I’m going back to Greece .”
Excerpt from the Giannis book
Stag fans:
“Look at him. He is really a good player. When you play hard, you can reach the level of Batum.” Josh’s words made brother alphabet shocked and silent. After a pause, he told Josh without thinking much about it. He said that he was going to leave NBA and return to Greece after playing Yogueta, just like Batum. Letter brother: “If I become Batum, I will go back to Greece.”
Excerpts from the letter brother’s book.

Damn what a dick by Giannis
Clippers fans: Damn letter brother, this big bastard ~
[-]JazzBarbell_Flyes 43 points 11 hours ago
how funny would it be for Russ to join the Clippers and knock off the Lakers in the play-ins/offs
Jazz fans: if weishao joins the Clippers and then eliminates the Lakers in the play-offs or playoffs, it will be too interesting ~
[-]Lakerscaptain_ahabb 7 points 10 hours ago
Lakers probably still have pretty good odds of making it to 10th but I’m already mostly thinking about next season.
Lakers fans: The Lakers may still have a chance to enter the play-off, but I have basically started to look forward to next season ~
[-]LakersCaptainKurls 5 points 8 hours ago
WB will thrive if he goes to the clips I’m calling it. Dude is still an elite passer and with the level of shooting they have he’ll average 8-9 assists easy
Lakers fans: If you go to the Clippers, Wei Shao will definitely be able to regain his glory. Let me talk here! This Buddy is still an elite passer. If he matches a certain shooter, he can easily get 8-9 assists in the game.
[-]Payutenyodagimas 3 points 11 hours ago
Problem with Russ is he still thinks he is the alpha
Aside from the fact that he cant shoot
Fans: The problem with Wei Shao is that he still regards himself as the top card ~ although the shooting is very bad ~
[-]Wizardsi_will_mull_it_over 3 points 10 hours ago
I’m sure alphas have trouble coming to that realization
Wizards fans: The first cards have this kind of obsession, and it is difficult to accept the reality of declining status.
[-]ThunderLeavingtheecstasy 1 point 5 hours ago
This absolutely
Stars who grew up idolizing Westbrook will remember how Lakers did him
Thunder fans: What I said upstairs, I will not refute! But those young stars who used Wei Shao as their idol from childhood will remember how the Lakers treated Wei Shao!
[-]LakersbryanBFLYin 0 points 9 hours ago
Westbrook gives 110% every single game and was probably the most consistent player on the team that was not named Lebron. We will miss him when he’s gone and retired. All this slander and bullshit is so ridiculous and honestly has been making me hate nba and basketball fans. Yall foul for treating Brody and his family this way ..
Lakers fans: Wei Shao pays 110% of his efforts in every match, and the player with the highest attendance rate in the Lakers is not James, but Westbrook! When weishao leaves or retires, we will miss him! All the smears and the bullshit people say are funny! To be honest, this has already made me hate NBA and those fans! It’s disgusting that you treat Wei Shao and her family like this!
