Batum can't be traded until July 18th but why would Portland trade him with him locked up and not even 25?

As we all know................
CEO MLSE: Tim Leiweke
Raps GM: Masai Ujiri
Assistant GM: Jeff Weltman
VP, Basketball Management and Strategy: Bobby Webster
If Cleveland wants a starting, veteran SF Chicago does makes a lot of sense.
Bulls get out of tax.
Butler can play SF.
They can draft McLemore or attempt to trade down with Charlotte so they...
I found this interesting. Not sure who would be considered 'viable.' My list of possible suspects:
1. MKG/Charlotte - #4/MKG for #1?
2. Deng/Chicago - #20/Deng for #1?
3. Granger/Indiana -...
lol
I am trying to be upfront and honest about my disdain for this 'reporters' work.
Another thought that came to mind this evening that sort of applies to this situation.
Does anyone remember anything at all leaked about Denver trades with Ujiri in charge? **Forget the...
The end result is the same but I don't see a contract not being renewed as the same thing as being fired.
Hopefully but I doubt it.
As dickishly as Doug Smith puts it, "Thanks for the hits. Keep reading."
As long as hits come in, I don't think TheStar cares.
It will be interesting to see fan reactions when and if the people they more closely align to (the players) start to get shuffled.
I have a feeling when people like Amir Johnson or DeMar DeRozan...
The CBA: Teams aren't run the way you say because they can't. You do have a lot of good ideas though and I am in more agreement than you may realize.
Hibbert: The use of 7 footer is a selective...
I think you are making this more than it was intended to be. The intent was to get people's perceptions on the last month with TL and MU.
Doug Smith is using his position to bemoan the changes...
Boeing had been a part of Seattle for decades and continues to be a big part of Seattle.
I would put the name on par with the Pelicans in terms of local relevance.
The SuperSonics name came from the deal Boeing had in place with US government in the late '60s (at time of franchise inception) to build super sonic transport aircraft. The project was cancelled a...
**Full disclose: I can't stand Doug Smith's work as a reporter for the Toronto Raptors**
In Smith's scathing blog post on the firing of Alvin Williams by Tim Leiweke, he had this to say about...
Reading through the comments of Dough Smith's blog post is hilarious.
You have about a 6:1 ratio of posts in agreement to Doug to those who are not in agreement.
Furthermore, those not in...
Don't forget what your original post asked:
I attempted to answer that question. The biggest detriment is the CBA and one point I left out was the floor for salaries for each team. If a team...
Archie Goodwin is another good example of, "How things change in a year - or less!"
Even in September and October he was a lottery pick at DraftExpress.com.
Now, 10 days before the draft, he is...
Also on the list:
Apollo's man: Tim Hardaway, Jr.
My redemption pick of the year: Glen Rice, Jr.
Erick Green
Jackie Carmichael
I really do feel the backlash from Toronto reporters(s) on Leiweke's and Ujiri's hirings and decisions since have a lot to do with no longer being in the loop for the on record anonymous and, most...
Speculation:

I find it strange that your new boss (Ujiri) calls you on Sunday and you don't speak with him.
Doesn't that imply you did not call him back?
If you did try to call him back, wouldn't you say, I...

Holly McKenzie with her 2 cents:
A couple of more thoughts:
10) Where would Indiana have been this year had they not matched the max contract offer from Portland? I think most agree Hibbert is overpaid. I can't imagine putting...
Your post hits at the heart of the max player and, to a lesser extent, salary cap/CBA rules. If the market ruled player salaries you'd probably see a guy like LeBron or Kobe making $30M plus. The...
