    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.

    The Wolves are offering a 4-year deal worth $50/60m

    He's as good as gone.

    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.

    They know they have to overpay to get him, but that is a little extreme.

    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.

    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
