    I don't have a twitter account -- someone ask one of them to defend the Faried/Smith pick!

    *Looking for a up-and-coming coach: Mike Malone is a strong candidate. Would be a smart hire according to Jason Quick. Could lose out on some strong candidates the longer they go on without a GM.

    *Mike Malone wants to coach in Portland.

    *Toronto could troll Portland's cap situation by frontloading an offer.

    I would let Batum go. We have greater needs.

    Of course this management team would have such a mediocre PG on their radar.

    I'd rather go after George Hill.

    Quick nailed it (re: LMA):

    The very best-case scenario is he's a second option on a title contending team.

    Harden the #1 option, LMA the #2. Kendall Marshall feeding the rock.

    Offer him max money. Don't resign Batum. Fill holes with the draft picks.

    He won't be a free agent for another year, right? So you're saying let Batum and Hickson go and don't sign anyone this summer on the chance that we might be able to A) convince him to sign our offer sheet and B) the Thunder won't match?

    That's pretty risky.

    If we let Batum go, we suddenly have a need at SF... is that a position you instantly fill with a #6 or #11 draft pick? Disregarding money, who is the best FA small forward this summer?

    Not a lot out there. Barnes in the draft would be the best bet, IMO
