Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

Holy shit, I would never have guessed he was a fan of the NBA.

Odd.
 
Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

I said this earlier and I will say it again, this talk of 45-50 mil IMO was/is pure bullshit likely spread my Nic's agent. The fact there was no verbal agreement with Minny like a lot of these guys have done IMO is telling. The more guys that get signed (verbals) for big bucks simpy shrinks the FA pool, Nic's agent could really have this blow up in his face, very interesting that he is coming to POR Thursday or Friday
 
Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

I would take Williams in a heart beat for Nic, along with Barea or Rid. But more than likely it would be Darko and a PG. Not good, but as a worse case scenario it would fill two needs if Hibbert falls through.

Bizarre shots fired. RT @andrewzimmern: Batum is T-Wolves offseason priority A. That is why they are arguably worst franchise in pro sports.

WHAT?

JALEN ROSE ‏@jalenrose
T'Wolves offer Blazers F Batum 4yr/$50m. An under the radar player that would be a good addition to go w/Love/Rubio. #NBA
 
Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

Roughly $12m/per for Batum?

You have to let him walk IMO.
 
Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

What world do we live in where Nic Batum is worth $12.5M?

You can have him at that price.

Fucking Blazer Mania Heartbreak if true.

My cousin in Minneapolis called me a bit ago saying he had heard the same on WCCO.

Is Nic worth 5/$62m or 4/$50? I don't think so, but a lot of that is contingent on what Indy does with Hibbert.
 
Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

if we signed the players they amnestied, it would be like kind of like a trade.
 
Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

I am a huge Batum fan, but not at that number. See if we can get an asset and let him go

No, it's not. You can't hamstring yourself to a role player
 
Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

Gordon hasn't signed yet, right?

A Gordon/Hibbert off-season would be epic.
 
Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

I don't know if it's even possible with the new CBA but maybe workout a S&T with MN (Williams + TPE) and flip that for Eric Gordon in a S&T?
 
Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

I'm already iffy on anything over $10M for Nic

$12M? See ya!

He isn't that important
 
Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

No one else is reporting this...weird

And Jalen Rose knows anything because...?

My assumption is that Rose is repeating the old rumors from a few days ago because he's just heard them.
 
Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

When has Jalen Rose ever broken a news story? I'm waiting to hear this from another source.
 
Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

Plus, batum didn't sign, he's meeting with the blazers
 
Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

I want Nic back pretty bad. But, not if its going to tie our hands up in getting other players to make the team better as whole.
 
Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

BOMB

Dwight Jaynes ‏@dwightjaynes
Source says Nic Batum told the Trail Blazers today that he has no desire to ever play in Portland again:
 
Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

ya i don't buy it.
 
Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

Why is he "very upset" with the Blazers?

I think it's his agent, not Batum.
 
Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

I think it's Dwight trying to get some hits. And it's working.

Doesn't sound like the @nicolas88batum I know RT @dwightjaynes Source: Batum told Blazers he has no desire play in PDX:http://bit.ly/KSl8Ow

Jason Quick ‏@jwquick
Sounds like agent for @nicolas88batum is at it again, trying to create contentious environment to provide some illusion of leverage. #rookie
