    What's he doing, taking a pause from running his large pot farm to watch an NBA game?

    Let's see, I know the answer to that one. Since Stotts didn't run a play for him all season..... (context as @dviss1 mentioned)

    Then again, Top-10 in rpm for PFs in the entire league.

    Right, all we know is what he DID and what he DID was get Nurkic and a 1st round pick for an expiring Plumlee.

    Credit where credit is due.

    The Olshey haters love to bash him for his questionable free agent targets (Hibbert, Hawes, Parsons, etc.) with usually nothing more than heresay to back up their claims, but when it comes to what he actually has done, they refuse to give him credit. They say we dodged a bullet when one of his supposed signings falls through, and then claim he got lucky when he does work a favorable trade. He may not be the best GM in the league, but apparently he's the luckiest.

    These things don't make him sound like a guy that badly wanted to leave.

    He wouldn't have known what playing in Charlotte was like if we kept him.

    So, he's smart enough not to trash a place after he leaves. But he definitely wanted to go to MIN and has said playing in CHO was the first time in 8 years he got to play the way he wanted to play - meaning he NEVER got to play the way he wanted to in POR, not even under Terry Stotts.

    "Ndiaye said Batum has great respect for the Blazers and their fans but believes playing for Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman and alongside point guard Ricky Rubio and forward Kevin Love is the best situation for him."

    We know what he said. Then we know what he did:

    and is hoping the Portland Trail Blazers either do not match the offer or execute a sign-and-trade to get him to Minnesota,

    Like fuck you Dame. Fuck you Wes.

    This is probably the main reason we traded him.
