What the heck at that trade rumor... Why would Derrick Williams have that low of a value already and why would the Blazers even reject that trade? It'd be a steal for them. Hopefully Kahn isn't that stupid to give up on Williams that fast and trade him for barely anything... (Although any trade that gets rid of Webster is a great trade!)

 

[Mxrz]

Wait, if this really includes like J-Rich and Duhon then it has to be fake.

Chris Duhon a Laker.

I will lol until I can lol no more.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

@KBergCBS

Others have touched on this, but Blazers have nothing but contempt for Minnesota's bid for RFA Nicolas Batum. Sorry, Nic, you're staying.

Blazassholes

 

[thekad]

Kahn's #2 draft pick last year already has no trade value.

And his #4 from the year before. And #5 from the year before.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

‏@WojYahooNBA
Minnesota's considered pitching a Derrick Williams-Martell Webster sign-and-trade for Nic Batum, sources say. Portland would reject it.

This is your brain on drugs

And his #4 from the year before. And #5 from the year before.

I think his #5 still has value, not the #6 though.

 

[reilo]

Blazassholes

You have that backwards.

Oops.

Can't believe Raging compared Morey to Kahn :lol Morey might be bad, but he's not Kahn-bad.

 

[darkside31337]

What are they so angry about though?

 

[Black Mamba]

Oops.

Can't believe Raging compared Morey to Kahn :lol Morey might be bad, but he's not Kahn-bad.

He's dumber, but being dumber allows your team to have a better future. Somehow.

 

[squicken]

What is MIN doing wrong here? The guy is an RFA. Why would POR have "contempt" towards MIN?

I didnt say anything all I did was just sayin

Yeah there has to be more to this story. It can't just be offering a RFA a big deal alone. The Blazers just offered Hibbert the max...

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

I'd do Duhon/JRich/Dwight for Bynum/Blake/Metta

Nash/Morris
Kobe/JRich
Hill/Ebanks
Pau/McRoberts
Dwight/Hill

I'd do that deal twice so Vak can cream himself and then plant one all over Nori.

 

[reilo]

Don't remind me about the max.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

They can get guys to agree to offer sheets but other teams can't do the same to their guys.

 

[madmaxx350]

thought this was funny

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Portland is the only team allowed to offer huge contracts to RFAs in their world.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

Hill/Ebanks
Pau/McRoberts

[Mothman91]

So who do you think this other "Laker" is for the trade?

 

[reilo]

Hey now, Berger didn't cite sources. It's just like, his opinion man.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Metta, Blake, Morris, Ebanks or Glock. In other words, who gives a shit.

 

[Mothman91]

lol.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Stop post shit like this...

yes people here watch basketball...

And he must have been sick of Dallas playing like ass last year..

Going to a team with a better record like the Knicks is just the thing to reignite the ol' fires.

 

[charsace]

What is MIN doing wrong here? The guy is an RFA. Why would POR have "contempt" towards MIN?

I've come to the conclusion that the guys behind the scenes of Portland are dickheads.

 

[Fenderputty]

Metta, Blake, Morris, Ebanks or Glock. In other words, who gives a shit.

I would be sad to see Metta leave. I mean it is what it is, but I would miss him. Same with Pau.

 

[Conflict NZ]

Please make this happen Mitch! Would like to see Glock get some playtime through.

 

[Nelo Ice]

I'd rather have Metta stay than Blake if we can find a better backup PG. He's a headcase but hes our awesome headcase lol.

 

[marathonfool]

Jason Quick ‏@jwquick

Prediction: Batum never signs offer sheet from Minnesota

He's the Portland sports writer who broke the Roy contract and talked with Batum off-record today.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA

Whatever Nic Batum decides to do – signs a Minny offer sheet, or not – he’ll be a Blazer again. Portland isn’t losing him to the Wolves.

Welp.

 

[darkside31337]

Signing the offer sheet means he would have to stay in Portland. Guess he hates it that much.

 

[Fenderputty]

He good to show up with intensity too ... But basically yeah ... I like the crazy fool.

 

[Reave]

Twitter's going ham on that David Wiess guy. Trending worldwide.

 

[linsivvi]

Tank for Sessions.

Sorry Brandi.

It's like a revenge summer for basketball reasons.

Remember Cuban mocking the Lakers on the CP3 trade? He got Odom for free who poisoned his team and the exception landed us Nash and now he's begging the Lakers discarded PG to start for his team.

If only Gordon can find a way to join the Suns it would be perfect.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

if it means getting Dwight, Metta and Blake can both kick rocks.

 

[SamuraiX-]

So who wants to bet that there's no way in hell Nash gets his yearly average of 30 MPG under Mike Brown and his knees self-implode before the All-Star Break?

 

[Black Mamba]

the player source is McRoberts. I'm pretty sure he's gone in a Dwight deal (1 year, $3 mil contract. come on, you know it's him).

Also, Batum should sign his QO and fuck the Blazers over. Might as well.

So who wants to bet that there's no way in hell Nash gets his yearly average of 30 MPG under Mike Brown and his knees self-implode before the All-Star Break?

Nash's knees are fine. It's his back that is the problem. He'll be at his normal average just fine.

 

[SoulPlaya]

Hell yeah, they can!

I want to know what it feels like to have a competent FO that can actually get things done!

 

[SamuraiX-]

Mike. Brown.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

People think getting Dwight is key to this master plan, but it's only the next step. Mitch will shock the world when he proceeds to fire Brown and bring back Phil.

 

[cashman]

Dirk and Roddy B are going to be a great 1-2 punch.

 

[SoulPlaya]

Then trade Pau for Boozer, and bam!

Championships!

.

If he truly wants out of Portland he shouldn't sign anything. Once he signs the QO all Portland has to do is match. He can not sign and try to bitch and moan his way out if he really hates it there. I have no idea why he would but who knows

if he signs nothing, he doesn't play. If he signs the QO, he plays 1 season then is a UFA.

We don't need Boozer, we got Kane!

No way he does that

Not when you can get 4 years guaranteed cash

You never know when injuries will hit

Still haven't heard if LA is going to adopt 24/7 rehab like at Phoenix

[The_Inquisitor]

Fucking Cuban and the Mavericks shitiness is shitting up my Rangers somehow. Fuck how this team is playing going into the all-star break. Lazy as shit and uninspired.

 

[giri]

Reasonable deal. Smart move.
