    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 was the best situation for him.

    ''It was a very cordial meeting. There were no hard feelings,'' Ndiaye said. ''So Nicolas basically talked about his four years with the Blazers and he expressed that maybe it was time for him to look at a place where it could be more happy.'' - AP



    Let's be honest, Ndiaye has respect for his retirement.  It's the first time I have heard anything positive from Nic's agent about the Blazers.  I don't blame Nic for thinking the grass is greener in Minn, and after his last season being shoved behind an over paid Gerald Wallace.  But let's be real, he's not leaving Portland.  Suck it up, and get ready to prove you're worth your inflated, contract.  A new coach, starter minutes, and a team of younger players that have a real, pre-season to work together, and Nic will be glad he stayed.

    $45 is more palatable than $50 mil, but word is that bonuses (which have yet to be reported) could make it a $50 mil 4 year deal.

    sign Iggy for 8-9M, Batum at the two, and Wesley off the bench! Draft Steven Adams (who loves contact, grew up playing rug-bee). Sounds NICE!

    Love Okafor, hate his contract. Nenê is sweet too. I like the Wizards. Fan of wall. Also you guys watching Danny Green? Dude is insane.

    Im not impressed with Gortat. Everyone wants him but he seems mediorcre to me. He is the most realistic option since all it would take is the 10th pick, but I think he is old and declining.
