    The Trail Blazers and Timberwolves are discussing a deal that would bring Portland free-agent forward Nicolas Batum to Minnesota in exchange for two future first-round draft picks and a veteran small forward acquired from a third team, a league source told ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher.

    Bulls beat writers are speculating it could be us. We are talking Kyle Korver with the T-Wolves.

    Um, how about Noah instead? And then sign Courtney Lee.

    Why hasn't MIN made an offer to Batum? Olshey quipped: "It's called the Wrath of Kahn.''

    I'm really liking Olshey.

    I approve of this trash talking

    Plus Kahn is a ridiculously easy target

    Then the Wolves start working on a deal for Iggy, and Portland is overpaying Batum (who doesn't want to be there). Wolves lose nothing, Portland overpays Batum.

    Portland only has to overpay for Batum if Minnesota signs him to an offer sheet

    No offer sheet, Blazers don't have to match anything and can negotiate their own price

    Olshey holds all the cards right now.

    But then Minnie would be over paying for Iggy. 15 million the second year? If he even chooses to opt in? You must not think much of Williams.

    Nobody cares if Darko is on the team, and nobody cares if Portland signs him. Hell we're cutting Webster too, you want him back?

    Any way you want to spin this, MN is playing with Portland's money.

    The Blazers have all the leverage.

    Facts are facts.

    Spin away.

    I'm a big fan of anybody who think David Kahn is a douche.

    If you think the threat of losing Martell Webster, Darko Milicic, and Luke Ridnour is leverage.
