    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    Blazers offered Batum $6mill last year, agent said no. Looks like Batum is going to get $11-12mill. Seems like his agent is serving his client nicely.

    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    A) No one has seen this mythical 11-12M offer.
    B) The agent hadn't seen a deal from anyone (at least, he better not have) before he was spouting off about "accepting the first decent offer." Every other team realized it was clown town at that point. And if they hadn't, they surely did when Nic received his "offer" from MIN and canceled interviews everywhere else.

    Minnesota's offer to Nic Batum in now in excess of $11M annually, per NBA source. How high would you go to get him?

    NBA GM tells me he believes Batum may land somewhere between $12m-13m. Stopped sounding like real money long ago.

    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    I like Nicolas just fine, but at that kind of money he could seriously damage Minnesota's long-term prospects ... and I'd let him.

    Go get a guy off the amnesty or waiver scrap heap and start looking for another small forward in trade or next year's draft.

    Sure. I mean I'm not sure D. Williams is actually a 3, but at 5 million a year I'd be willing to find out for the next couple of years.

    Package him for a young SF.

    Williams is a PF.

    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    Having us as fans should count for at least $6 mil per year, so he isn't really gaining anything.

    Uh, trade Williams for a young SF.

    I'd sure hope he'd fetch more than that.

    Oh. I thought you meant trade Nic for a SF. Yes, I think we could get more for Williams

    NBA sucks. This whole CBA blows.

    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    For Williams...

    I'd make a pitch, regardless of availability, for these SF's:

    -Gordon Hayward
    -Kawhi Leonard

    I like Heyward and Leonard a lot. Probably Heyward more.

    When did Canzano start breaking real news?

    Until we get this from WOJ or somebody else I will delay reacting.
