Cut off by the Hornets, Nicolas Batum is of interest to several teams aiming for the title. Among them, it is difficult not to think of the Lakers, especially as the fit seems ideal.
If Nicolas Batum lived in relative tranquility on the side of Charlotte in recent years, at the rate of often disappointing performances, everything quickly accelerated Saturday night for Batman. Fired by the Hornets to make room for Gordon Hayward, the Frenchman must now bounce back.
The good news is that several contenders are already interested in his services. No name has leaked yet, but among the possible range, the Lakers seem to be a destination of choice for the French Swiss Army Knife.
By letting go Rajon Rondo in Atlanta, the Angelinos lost some playmaking out of the bench. LeBron James, soon to be 36, should undoubtedly reduce his minutes in the regular season. With this in mind, Batum is ideal. For 15 to 20 minutes each evening, he can distribute, organize the game, penalize at 3 points if necessary, and bring his defensive presence.

If the two camps do business, we hope in any case that LeBron James will not hold a grudge against this block of Batman, dated almost 10 years ago. The King is praised for his incredible visual memory and his ability to remember every action on the pitch, but still…
Nicolas Batum at the Lakers, it could be a good deal for everyone. Be careful, however: they are several contenders on the French, who remains well side in the league.
