No! Not Mayo. He is all wrong for your team.

Courtney Lee is a good target.

My bet is that they end up with Lee and Mayo heads to the Suns.

Sources say the Timberwolves will go after Courtney Lee since Portland doesnt want to "play ball" in a potential Batum sign-and-trade.

Yes, I think this is a good bet. Minny will probably also end up with Steemer....

Yeah.  We just can't compete with teams that have cap space.

Is Corutney and unrestricted FA? So he'll pretty much just go to the high bidder?

Yes he's an unrestricted FA. My guess is that he'll end up with a deal that has a starting salary well above the 5ish we could give him in a sign and trade.

Yes.

Still, if the Celtics can offer something of value to Houston, they may prefer the sign-and-trade route, rather than let another team sign him outright and get nothing for him.

Here's hoping Portland takes its time thinking about whether to match the Batum offer. That will allow the Celtics to make their best offer to Houston for a trade for Lee. Minnesota can't make another free agent offer until the Batum situation is resolved.

If Batum plays total hardball with Portland, he can force his way out of town.  he can refuse to sign any extension with Portland, or offer sheet with Minny or any other team, so Portland can't match, and threaten to play for the QO and walk with no compensation tot he Blazers next summer.
