    If I'm a FA, I'm looking for a two year deal with player option. Like LeBron did with the Cavs, and Deng with Miami.

    I would think there will be quite a few top FAs to choose from next year.

    He's a physical freak and he was 18 when those were taken. He's probably a full 6'10" im shoes now.

    I read the Knicks want Kaminsky. They hold #4, but could trade down to 7 or 8 and still get him.

    So much rage and hatred right now. And no confidence that we have a GM that knows what he's doing.

    Nice that the former Blazers GM appreciates Nic, at least.

    1. How is this a bad trade? I like Gerald Henderson. Vonleh I have no clue other than he is very athletic.

    Gotta love all you experts bashing the move before it's even final & other deals/signings are made. In Neil I trust, gotta wait to see how the entire off-season plays out first. I'm sure Neil has a plan.
    Didn't LaMarcus post on social media about players not working as hard as him. Maybe Batum is one of those teammates & this move will make LMA happy.

    I think Neil has a plan and this trade was made as a stepping stone for that plan. We are clearing space for something.

    The only alternative is that LA is leaving and we're rebuilding.

    The most fragile+overpaid+inconsistent player is off of the team

    In the end Batum didn't live up to the hype. Playoff performance was the final nail in the coffin.

    I think it means Wes might be gone too. Henderson as starting 2. If LA knew about this trade and he's coming back then that probably means Kaman is gone and then they'll pursue a top center and Meyers/Vonleh will be the bigs off the bench

    I guess Nic shouldn't've led the league in miles run on the court then.
