JQuick one on one interview with Nicolas Batum

Fez, what the fuck?

 

Just a friendly reminder to our fans from KFAN.

 

Joe Freeman ‏@BlazerFreeman
It will be interesting to see if there truly is a $45 million deal on the table for Batum. I remain skeptical.

 

Hey Fez let's not spam dude. It's bad enough with the trolls, we don't need our own people causing problems.

 

Olshey should tell Batum if he can convince the Pacers to change their mind on Hibbert, we'll let him walk.

 

See, this is why Love is so popular in his home town. He's just so fucking humble.

 

Joe Freeman ‏@BlazerFreeman
If the Timberwolves are indeed poised to sign Batum to a $45 million offer sheet, it would not surprise me to see the #Blazers let him go.

 

Dont these guys have anything better to do? Oh wait, they live in minnesota, researching dick pictures is what to do in minnesota

 

What creeps me out is their fascination with dick pics and with all things Portland. For those of you with your personal pics, I'd recommend deleting them from S2 - wouldn't be surprised if their rubbing one out to the pics.

 

Olshey said you must acquire assets. You don't acquire assets by letting one of your stronger assets walk for nothing. Or for a steaming pile o' ish.

 

I am unimpressed.

 

Wouldn't it be nice if he were older
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice if Minnesota
Started doing right instead of wrong

You know its gonna make it that much better
When Kevin Roy and Nic are together

Wouldn't it be nice he could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the season through

Happy times together they'd be spending
Because the lottery would soon be ending
Wouldn't it be nice

Maybe if they think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
Kevin then there wouldn't be a single thing you couldnt do
You could be winners
And then you'd be happy

Wouldn't it be nice

You know it seems the more you talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But you talk about it
Wouldn't it be nice

 

So the line of reasoning is Nic's agent (and or Khan) came up with the ficticious figure because they knew if it was lower the Blazers would match for sure? So the hope was by saying it was 45-50 million the Blazers would back off and go another route? But the Blazers called their bluff and Nic's Camp is now trying the sympathy card with the media.

So now Minnie has to ante up so we take a sign and trade, or Nic signs a one year deal. A one year deal now makes more sense to me if the 45 million was never on the table.

 

Can we just tap mags to buy minnesota and ban the looking up of dick pics in that shithole state? Would crush everyone of these fat 14 year old pimply kids for sure

 

Tim Allen ‏@timallenonline
It sounds like there is a framework in place for a Batum sign-and-trade, but that Paul Allen is the one holding it up.

Tim Allen ‏@timallenonline
Paul Allen (POR's owner, not KFAN guy) is apparently still bitter about the Webster/Tom Penn stuff, and is loathe to let Batum go to

 

Chris Haynes ‏@ChrisBHaynes
With all the different Nicolas Batum trade scenarios, I'm hearing Derrick Williams is "untouchable." #Blazers

 

If that's the case, just re-sign Nic, and trade him to another team of his liking in December, or wait a year and deal him to any of the other teams in the league

 

OK.

You're not getting tired of this?

 

+1. If they have no money to offer, they do not dictate S&T.

 

Get over it Paul
