I might do Sun, Mihm and your 1st for Blatche. Blatche has 3 years (after this one) on his deal. Mihm is done. And if we don't win the lottery (which we won't) having another 1st rounder (albeit a late one) gives us some type of chance of trading up and getting a shot at Griffin. I can dream can't I? Lol.
But yeah, the thing about Blatche is this: 22-year-old 7-footer, can run the floor, handle the ball, all that stuff. The problem is he doesn't play like a 7-footer. Near the basket? He'll attempt a finger roll 9.8 times out of 10 instead of just stuffing that ****. He's like a 7-foot, wannabe Ginobili. Add in that he's inconsistent as all hell, he doesn't work hard, and is constantly out of shape. He's one of these players where you keep holding your breath waiting for him to pop and he never does. Kinda like Kwame. It's so frustrating because he has the tools. He just doesn't have the heart.
That being said, at 3 mil a year he's still a bargain.
What can you all tell me about Sun? A scrub now and forever?
