    Canzano's twitter:

    How many "no's" does Denver's GM have to hear before he gets the hint that Batum isn't available for Harris?

    And like we said, as soon as they make Favors available to us, we'll get that shit done.

    Harris isn't worth Batum. Andre Miller isn't worth jack.

    If the cycle keeps repeating, it's because we're not clearly saying no. We must be making counteroffers which include Batum.

    As we should be. There are offers that include Batum that would make sense for the Blazers.

    You may be right. I just don't like picks because I think NJ is a playoff team when/if they get Melo. After the top-4 in the East there is a massive drop off. They may be bad now but with Melo I think they'll be the #8 seed and this future pick will only get worse as they build this team around Melo and Lopez.

    Favors or no deal, IMO.

    Here is what Chris Broussard said the other day on his twitter:

    Also, tonight on Courtside a writer from SI was interviewed and said the Blazers have no interest to give up Batum for Harris, FWIW.

    Yeah, then we'd be stuck with three mid-to-late first round picks (IE New Orleans, New Jersey, and our own).

    Well you could always turn those picks into a Lottery Pick, given the right situation.

    I still say most in here are over rating Nic. If the Blazers want to play hardball they should ask for Harris, an expiring big and an unprotected pick.

    New Jersey is 6 games out of the playoffs. They'd have to leapfrog five teams in a half season or less.

    The Nets aren't making the playoffs this year after getting Anthony.

    If it is Denvers pick after they trade all their talent away, is that really that bad of an idea? They are going to plummet.

    It's not. Denver is trying to "sweeten" the pot with an unprotected pick from New Jersey. Which is a huge MEH.

    Yea that is a bullshit ploy. Everybody knows after the trade is done NJ is going to win a hell of a lot of games more than they were now. That draft pick may not even be lotto.

    Uh oh. If Cho is anything like KP, Nic should start packing his bags.

    What part of anything that Cho has done since he got here would make you think that he operates the same way as KP?
