    I don't know if you realized I was complimenting her. I've never met her, so I can't say if she's nice or not but I agree she's cute. And she has a nice, big, juicy buttocks.

    That place is so over priced. I was a member there when it was originally built by Costco and was known as Sports Nation. That place was the shit. Then they sold out and the new owners jacked the price up for the same damn product.

    I really hope this doesn't increase our chances of matching.

    Does Batum qualify as "nice"?

    Sure. He's a "nice" player ... sure as hell isn't worth 11.5 million a year, but he's definitely "nice."

    Yes! When it was Sports Nation that place was incredible! Ownership definitely fucked up a good thing. Used to be 8 courts I believe for basketball and it is now down to only four :(

    How is Nic not "worth" 11.5M if Jeff Green is about to get 10M?

    I don't read Blazers Edge. Does that board source from our board, like this board gets half its material from there? If so, I should go read what thousands of people there say about my posts here.

    I was only a kid but I loved when it was Sports Nation. I had to stop being a member at Club Sport after last summer, $75 a month was way too much. I'm now a member at Boom Fitness, which is $10 a month, and I just play basketball at parks.

    Clearly Jeff Green is about to produce a cure for cancer.

    Just like MM said, two wrongs don't make a right. Personally I think Nicolas should be getting paid around 7-8 based on his production so far in his career. These sub-max deals should be reserved for guys who put up close to all-star numbers -- guys like LaMarcus in years past who were flirting with an all-star bid. That doesn't mean I'm going to bitch and moan for 4 years if the Blazers match, because I still think that there's a chance Nic might live up to such a deal under the right coach, in the right system, but that's still a whole lot of money based on hope.

    Twitter gives people the illusion that someone else gives a shit about their opinions (like this board times a million) and... sometimes people do.

    Nic's wife has a public Twitter, and some guy taking shots at her is just part of the game. If she doesn't like it, she doesn't have to be public on Twitter. I'd bet that he's right that she wouldn't have 2000+ followers if she were not married to Batum. I don't see why that matters--either stating that fact or that fact itself.

    Racist stuff is a different ballgame, IMO. But it's Twitter. It sucks. :)

    Batum's agent is bargaining through the media, and twitter comments like this are going to be common when you do that.
