If Minny was to make the moves to offer Batum his contract, Blazers would have to either let Batum go or let a max offer deal go. Yet no offer to Batum. If Batum signed the offer today, Ptd would not match. Khan is blowing it unless intense S&T negotiations are going on.
Would love to land him, a long time ago, i wanted him to be our top target this offseason. I would think Brooklyn matches, unless we got involved in the 3 way. Other thought, this could very easily just be a slight favor to Brook's agent. A little here, we'll scratch your back,. by getting your client signed, and you do us a solid later. Could very well not want his client just sitting out there while cap space dries up, at the worry that all of a sudden Brooklyn would go a different direction or something.

This is funny to me Shaun Powell @Powell2daPeople Brooklyn could have Dwight right now if Nets didn't deal an unprotected No. 1 to Portland for Gerald Wallace.

I would hate this move. We would be the softest frontcourt in the NBA, easily. So redundant with Aldridge on the roster.
Don't diss the etch-a-sketch. I was once hit in the head with one and almost had my eye surgically removed because of the damage.
