I'm ashamed of myself for posting in one of the trolls threads! Batum wont be traded... no need to get your panties all in a bunch.
Some of you phucks need to learn to read before pissing your pants. Article states: "But the Nuggets could have the means to acquire him if their talks with the New Jersey Nets ever come to fruition, because the Trail Blazers would only consider trading Batum if they were getting back a comparable player plus a likely lottery pick..."
Blazers clear favorite to get Harris if they make Batum available to DEN after months of resisting Batum offers. See @CSheridanESPN for more
And? I don't think it's unreasonable to think that we might trade Batum, but nobody is saying he'd go for only draft picks.
No - I did not. I see how my post would've been ironic if I had - but I read the title then browsed the link and replied. I've already wasted enough bandwidth on this idiotic thread so I'll just cut my losses and move on.
What part of comparable player and a pick did you not understand? To me this means a high potential, high reward, young player. Devin Harris may fit that bill but more likely Portland is after Derrick Favors IMO.
more likely Devin Harris & NJ 1st round pick for Miller and Batum..... Not sure I like it.... If Batum is so highly regarded around the league and POR wants a Top 5 pick for him to go after a young player, then why not wait until the draft? Seems like an unecessary risk to take right now...
I don't get why Denver feels like they are in any position to pretend like they get to call the shots. Melo wants to go to the Knicks. It's doubtful he's gonna re-sign an extension with the Nets. That team is just as horrid as the Nuggets after a trade. Denver should feel fortunate that Melo is voicing his desires to leave before the summer so they can get some decent players + picks. If they think they can snag Favors and Batum from this fiasco, they got another thing coming.
Yup.... I think there's a good chance that Melo rejects playing for the Nets and the Nuggets are left with zero leverage in the negotiations with the Knicks. It's either make the trade or lose him for nothing. They'll end up with Eddy Curry, Anthony Randolph, and Gallinari. It'll be hilarious.
