    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.

    We both need to just focus on stuff other than Batum or blow up this site with so many trade ideas that Olshey finally gives in. 


    Unfortunately, I was born in 1983 so my whole life as a Blazer fan has amounted to 2 trips...

    I love Mike Malone and Mike Budenholzer, wanted Budenholzer last summer but was not 100% on Malone, I am totally convinced now.

    NO way anyone with the number 1 pick next year trades it

    Nice Idea but I think the TWolves trade is very lobsided in our favor

    Derrick Williams and Budinger are proven players in the league. Claver and Freeland are not

    Hawes was playing nice this season and would be a good pick up imo ...

    I love the Grit and Grind, and I love the Spurs timeless play. I think if the Spurs get to the finals, they will beat the heat, but they won''t beat the Grizzlies easily, and the Grizz can''t beat the Heat. I know it''s weird.
