I love Batum but Wallace will be more productive. I just wish we could keep both.

I don’t understand why they just can’t keep both and pay the luxuary tax if need be. Their owner is rich as *u*k. Small price to pay to keep contending.

Anyways, shouldn’t be that tough of a decision. Batum has been in the league long enough to know exactly what you’re gonna get from him with slight improvement over a few years. He’s good, but no Wallace. However it would be ideal to sign Crash for only 2 more years. 3 max with a frontloaded contract. Won’t happen though ’cause NBA players are greedy as sh!t and don’t care about leaving money on the table for the better of the team to build a winner. They wanna clean house every time. See Tyson Chandler in NY.

Look for Wallace to bludgeon them with a 4 year 53-56 million dollar deal. (Remember that you heard it here first!)

this is a hard choice but in the ending batum will be there wallace said will not sign a extension so batum how averaged 15.5 points 6.4 rebrounds 3.1 assists is an inpressive future piece wallace will be traded before the dead line but if the blazers still think they need a SF the wolves will trade Beasley and thats a choice

Crash has already said he’s opting out, but he does like it here. Batum’s better than his numbers, hasn’t peaked, and would be cheaper.
Nice problem to have. Our center issue isn’t.
Camby’s being himself so far, which is perfectly fine. He’s also going to show his age at some point. Wonder if he’d consider a player/asst. coach kinda thing. Draft a C and give him on-the-job training.
For the first time ever, I’m saying dump Oden. You can only wait so long. If he can make it elsewhere, good for him.
