    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    Dwight Jaynes: Batum and his agent are reportedly very upset with the Trail Blazers and say he wants "no part of this team


    Dwight is tweeting all over about this using several different tweets about it with a link to the same article.

    I'm too crushed right now to read the article (and give Dwight a hit). I can't beleive Dwight would make up all this shit just to get hits to his blog. I'm hoping that is what it is, but I'm fearing the worst.

    It's clearly his agent talking this up. We've known Nic pretty well for four years now, and he loves it in PDX. Plus he doesn't have the aggressive nature to say something like that.

    If Nic finds out that this is coming from Minny's side and they'll tarnish his image in PDX, he will shun Minny.

    David Kahn might have just fucked himself over.

    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    I'm still debating whether his agent made this up or Kahn. Why would an agent burn bridges like that? Even for a rookie, this is a stupid move.

    Then again, it could just be Dwight pulling shit out of his ass.

    Maybe Dwight will somehow be fired over this.

    This, followed by getting repeatedly owned on twitter a few days ago.

    Can't be good for a guy his age. Just fuckin admit your mistake. How can someone be so prideful?

    I don't think Dwight would make it up. Doesn't mean his source is worth a damn. Didn't he used to work with Kahn?

    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    I don't know what to believe, but pretty slimy of Dwight to posts several tweets about the same article. I've been following some NBA journalist and it is standard to throw a juicy tid bit and link an article. I haven't seen any otehr journalists that throw out three juicy tid bits all to the same article. Appears desperate by Jaynes.

    Having said all . . . please don't be true.

    Kahn and Nic's douchebag agent are behind this.

    Per Sources.
