If Indiana doesn't match man i'm gonna be excited. Resign Batum and we have a competitive team next year and will only get better then better Leonard/Lillard get.
RT @sam_amick Indiana did not offer a max deal, & Hibbert is now leaning to Blazers unless Pacers match. One other unnamed team offered max. Wonder what other team offered him a max too.
Ben Golliver @blazersedge Blazers UFA point guard Raymond Felton has heard from a credit card company, two ex-girlfriends and a wrong number on July 1
Source: #Blazers F Nicolas Batum has on offer from Minnesota & meetings with New Orleans, Toronto | http://www.csnnw.com/pages/landingb...nesota-and-meeti=1&blockID=733614&feedID=5212 |
Says 45/50m not even the wolves are stupid enough to give Batum a max. I'd match up to 46, even at 11.5m a year because of Batums extreme youth teams will always covite him as long as they think he can still improve. Pull a NeNe with him at a contract like that. With these offers though i'm leaning towards the "Swap Gordon/Batum" thing.
Joe Freeman @BlazerFreeman #Blazers GM Neil Olshey says team "engaged in negotiations with Roy Hibbert" & will "enter into an offer sheet when moratorium period ends."
That's underpaying, if anything. Nash would increase the value of that franchise by far more than that. It's like an MLS franchise signing Beckham, only with a sport that North Americans actually care about.
Mark Jones @MarkJonesESPN @Chris_Broussard just reported on Sportscenter that Raptors have offered @SteveNash a 3 yr 36 mil $ deal.
wendell maxey @w_maxey dallas mavericks chasing both joel przybilla & hasheem thabeet really makes me question their vision at center. really: http://es.pn/KMihqv
Those are the options they're chasing on July 1st? I wonder if that franchise would've just been better off keeping Chandler...
Chris Broussard @Chris_Broussard Sources confirm Memphis has offered full midlevel to Ray Allen for 2 yrs. Bos willing to pay 2 yrs/$12 mill, tho no offer made yet. Chris Broussard @Chris_Broussard Miami can pay $3 mill/yr. ATL, Dallas and Los Angeles Clippers also interested in Ray Allen. Chris Broussard @Chris_Broussard Allen weighing 3 factors in decision: 1 - chances of competing for title; 2 - role on team; & 3 - money offered
