    Weird. I know it's most likely not true but my feelings are kinda hurt.

    Haynes with new tweets: "the truth will come out."

    Truth is out old man. You're a douche and a tool.

    Common sense was what I was referring to.

    I think it's obvious. His agent has been combative the entire year.

    That's what I figured, but I wanted to confirm your sources.

    Kahn and Dwight worked together covering the Blazers for years at the Oregonian. That's his source.

    His source can chew on my nutsack.

    So tired of grandpa Jaynes. Why does this guy still have a job? And more importantly, why does he get a nickname such as "The Godfather"?

    Ruins the name, just as his abilities, or lack thereof, undermines the abilities of the media (and that's saying something).

    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    I like how the "source" claims that Nic "has a relationship with Rubio"....but then says that Nic also "developed one with Adelman" in the two days he was out there.

    Look, I'm no relationship expert, but it stands to reason that one normally wouldn't burn bridges with teammates/bosses that you've worked with for 4 years b/c of someone you met for dinner and a meeting this week.

    If Jaynes made this up just to get clicks on his article we need to start a major movement just to make him look like a clown and get him fired!

    Jaynes had a stroke and is more retarded than normal. Nothing to see here. Carry on.

    Dude, you have control of a camera. What that camera shoots is seen by the public.

    (Hint hint!)

    Grow a fucking pair. Maybe your wife would then stop blowing all of us.

    (Probably not, but you should give it a try anyway.)

    The source is Kahn. Him and Dwight worked together. Kahn is playing Jaynes and Jaynes is desperate to be played with.

    My god Batum's agent is a fucking moron if he thinks that this is a good bargaining ploy. Does he even speak English?

    Doesn't sound like Batum. But hey if he actually feels that way then let him walk. Let someone else overpay for a mediocre wing.

    Dwight not backing off:

    Impeachable source. It will all come out. Just wait. Nic has to say what he has to say
