Spoonful drop Warrick, pick up Batum

Hakim Warrick can score, but he is soft and doesn't play defense. This has not endeared him to coaches, and it seems he's presently buried behind Darrell Arthur, Marc Gasol, and perhaps Darko. He'll be rosterable at some point this year, but right now he's not getting it done.

Nicolas Batum is only 19, very raw, and, while he's quite athletic, he's on a deep Portland team, and will not be a consistent performer. However, he looks amazing tonight, plays with high energy, and should get 15-20 minutes while Oden is out, and do some stealing and blocking.in that time. It may be that Bayless is the Blazer rookie on the outside looking in.

Judgment: Worth a flyer, though this doesn't address any team needs (except bodies on the floor). Rumor is that the team is being renamed 'The Lovin' Sixthmen'. Warrick was needed for his rebounding, in particular, but he's not doing it. Millsap may end up on the Spoonful soon enough...
