I agree with MM that all of the tea leaves seem to be reading as a bigger deal coming soon. The Blazers have absolutely no need for the pieces they're getting from the Knicks. To me, what looks likely is that the Blazers have decided to let the T'Wolves have Batum. Sign and trade Batum to the T'Wolves in exchange for the two first round draft picks Bucher mentioned. Pass Jeffries & Gadzuric along to the T'Wolves in exchange for Derrick Williams. End up with Williams, two picks and a TPE equal to 50% of Nic's first year salary due to Base Year Compensation?
Agreed that this is probably what the deal is. And I like it.


In my best Chris Webber voice, "good luck".
