    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    My cousin in Minneapolis called me a bit ago saying he had heard the same on WCCO.

    Is Nic worth 5/$62m or 4/$50? I don't think so, but a lot of that is contingent on what Indy does with Hibbert.

    if we signed the players they amnestied, it would be like kind of like a trade.

    I am a huge Batum fan, but not at that number. See if we can get an asset and let him go

    No, it's not. You can't hamstring yourself to a role player

    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    Gordon hasn't signed yet, right?

    A Gordon/Hibbert off-season would be epic.

    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    I don't know if it's even possible with the new CBA but maybe workout a S&T with MN (Williams + TPE) and flip that for Eric Gordon in a S&T?

    He isn't that important

    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    And Jalen Rose knows anything because...?

    My assumption is that Rose is repeating the old rumors from a few days ago because he's just heard them.

    When has Jalen Rose ever broken a news story? I'm waiting to hear this from another source.

    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    I want Nic back pretty bad. But, not if its going to tie our hands up in getting other players to make the team better as whole.

    Source says Nic Batum told the Trail Blazers today that he has no desire to ever play in Portland again:

    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    Why is he "very upset" with the Blazers?

    I think it's his agent, not Batum.

    I think it's Dwight trying to get some hits. And it's working.

    Sounds like agent for @nicolas88batum is at it again, trying to create contentious environment to provide some illusion of leverage. #rookie
