Nicolas Batum open to re-signing with Hornets
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum, who will be an unrestricted free agent this summer, said he's open to re-signing with the team.
"Why not? I don't know because it will be a crazy summer. [But] why not?" Batum, a versatile contributor entering his prime, will be a sought after commodity in free agency, and the Hornets will have to pay big money to keep him.
Batum ranked 85th in the league with a -0.5 nERD in 70 games played this season. He averaged 14.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 2.0 3-pointers on a 50.6 Effective Field Goal Percentage and career-high 21.4 Usage Rate.
