    Re: 2013 NBA Offseason News

    It is sounding like the Cavs pulled out of a potential Dwight deal because people were complaining about them being involved in creating another superteam (although it also possible that Kris Humphries is unwilling to sign the necessary deal to make it work). If that is true, it is sad. Teams get involved in facilitating these deals because they want to show that they are willing and able traders. It reminds me a lot of fantasy sports. Every league has guys who are fair traders and will look at a deal, guys who will always try to trick other owners, and guys who simply refuse to trade. It is much better for a team to have the reputation of the first guy, not the other two. I really hope this isn't true about Cleveland.

    I am no doctor, but I concur with this diagnosis.

    Rumors have Batum going to the land of mosquito bites and frostbite, the Blazers getting two first-rounders from Minnesota, along with Korver from the Bulls, with the Bulls getting a second and getting out from under the $5 mil they owe Kutcher with a jump shot.

    As a Blazers fan, I'd be ecstatic with this trade. There's a decent chance one of those first-round picks could be lottery balls, and I think the purported contract offer, that strangely has never seen the light of day, is an overpay for Batum.

    The Blazers would really be pushing back their window of competitiveness though. Not much to hope for in the coming seasons, were the trade to go through.

    Well, if Portland is seriously going to match whatever offer comes their way, then Kahn would be stupid to offer it while still negotiating a S&T.

    If no S&T is worked out, then the offer sheet will be submitted.

    Darko was amnestied today as well to clear up the CAP space needed to sign Batum to the offer sheet if no S&T.

    If that's the deal, it's a brilliant one for Portland. Korver and Babbit can platoon at the small forward spot, with Matthews as the SG while they look to the draft picks over the next couple of years.

    Minnesota makes out well, too. They're going for it now and have a nice team (though it's a little light on big men).

    The reason I mention it is many in Portland thought Batum's agent was possibly bluffing in regard to the Timberwolves offer. And there wouldn't of been anything stupid about signing the offer on July 11, it just would have started the clock ticking.

    As of now, I'd expect the Blazers to match. I don't think Olshey wants to pony up that kind of money for Batum, but he's made it clear that he's even less inclined to let talent walk out the door with no return.

    The Rockets have decided to waive PF Luis Scola using the amnesty clause in order to clear salary space to make a run at Dwight Howard, according to Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski.

    LAS VEGAS D.J Augustin is gone at point guard, free agent Ramon Sessions will replace him, and power forward Kris Humphries and center Brendan Haywood could end up Charlotte Bobcats, too.
    The Bobcats came to terms with Sessions Thursday, then rescinded a $4 million-plus qualifying offer to four-year Bobcat Augustin. That made Augustin an unrestricted free agent, and immediately Augustin signed a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Indiana Pacers.

    I like watching summer league games but Chris Webber makes some of the games nearly un watchable.

    Augustin might not make a bad backup as a point guard. (I guess.) But, last year, he couldn't shoot, didn't defend, and wouldn't pass. Turnover-prone, too. Too short to be a combo guard and can't dribble or pass well enough to be a point.

    Bleh.

    Collison wouldn't, by all accounts, accept a back-up role. Hence, he and Dantay Jones were jettisoned to Dallas for Ian Mahinmi.

    Plus, Lance Stephenson can also handle the ball and pairing him with Augustin on the second unit may actually work.

    Factor in Gerald Green, and the Pacers' bench, a key factor in their playoff demise, is much improved.

    Per Rotoworld.

    The Knicks acquired Raymond Felton and Kurt Thomas via sign-and-trade on Saturday, sending Jared Jeffries and Dan Gadzuric to the Trail Blazers.
    Translation: The Knicks will NOT match Houston's offer sheet for Jeremy Lin.

    The Raptors officially have Landry Fields under contract for three years and $19 million, after the Knicks declined to match their offer sheet on Saturday.
