    Casey, do you think Batum would have re-signed here next summer? Or do you think he would have bolted?

    Don't trust him, Casey. Sly prints them on some fancy-ass printers in his basement.

    Does LaMarcus understand the level of hatred that we have for the L*kers, and that by intentionally donning the Piss and Purple he'd be setting fire to his legacy as a Trailblazer?

    I know they can't totally control it (anything could happen) but I think the NBA has (at least a little) learned from that scenario and doesn't invite too many people who they think will drop.

    The answer to this obviously depends on what kind of contract we would have gave him imo.

    Delon Wright was invited and turned it down. Wise man.

    Casey, when the Blazers "checked out" during the first round, did you think something drastic was going to happen?

    Casey, although we know you can't address it, is there anything that you know is in play that we don't...I'm looking for a simple yes or no here

    What can we get in trade from the Lakers forum for HCP?

    Do you think we'll have an NHL team here within five years?

    I think he'd consider staying, but I think the bigger issue would be whether the Blazers would pay him what he'll want to be paid. Nic is still just 26 and still has another 4-year contract in him, and I'm guessing he's not going to have any shortage of suitors. Some would say that Blazers fans tend to overvalue their players, but in Batum's case, it's the opposite. He's much more respected outside of Portland.

    I thought he'd already left?

    Of course he isn't. Are you saying he would have elsewhere?

    Yeah, and I'm pretty sure Rashard Lewis, with over $155 million in career salary and a championship ring, probably got over it.

    I'm sure that after 9 seasons, LaMarcus is well aware of the disdain we have around here for the Lakers. If you're going to go, might as well make the full heel turn into villain.
