    Here's a theory: maybe Neil is creating buzz in order to lure Deng here in free agency? Now that would rock.

    You spoke to Batum's agent?

    And he's doing that by having a random person post rumors on facebook. My god, that is so evil it just might work.

    No. I spoke to someone familiar with Rudoy who has had multiple conversations with him in the past. Was just getting his feel for the rumor since he travels in agent circles.

    really can't see Blazers having ANY interest in this unless there is some issue between Nic and players or coaches we are not aware of, seems like classic worthless BS as the deadline nears

    I wonder if a conditional pick would work. Say one of those 2015 picks (we sure as hell would not get their 2014) if Deng does not sign with Portland this summer.

    I'm much dumber for having read the first 40 posts of this thread. Let's see how the next 40 go...

    I do think trading Nic should be looked at

    He's making over $11M this season to be little more than a really good role player. Meh.

    This team as currently constructed isn't doing shit.

    Yep. They're only 36-15 with almost no bench.

    So let's swap out the starters, who have been great, yet not address the bench. :MARIS61:

    Not that impressive when half of the league is a joke.

    So you want to trade a starter for bench players? or do you think our bench players will get us better bench players?
    Either way no one thinks this rumor is legit, but it is sunday after noon and football is over. We are lacking for good topics.

    Oh, OK. Now 36-15 isn't impressive. Got it.

    I know, I was just pointing out that Batum isn't better in every statistical category, and PER is usually a stat that a lot of people care about.

    Also, thanks for putting me in your sig!

    19-11 vs the western conference
    17-4 vs the eastern conference

    It's not that great.

    Beating up on the joke that is the eastern conference? Who cares. That's not who they will face in the playoffs.
