Iggy Opting Out?

12

Iguodala is on the books to make $15.9 million next season, likely more than he could get from any team for 2013-14. But he could become a free agent and then sign a multi-year deal that would pay less next season but would provide long-term security. "Yeah, definitely,’’ Iguodala, 29, said of that being a distinct possibility. "You got to weigh options. Security-wise, a player would opt out, especially with the type of season we’ve had as a team. Teams know what I can bring to them, and I know (the Nuggets) know what I can bring to a team here. "Obviously, it’s a business, so you’re going to look at your options. Here we have some good (prospects). But I’m not making any promises. But I’ve liked the last month and a half, two months, three months or however long (that Denver has been on a roll). It’s important for the future, so I’m just trying to win.’’

Batum Stars in Short Film

Casey Holdahl posted a vignette starring Nic Batum. It features Batum having a terrible day and then...receiving a briefcase with a batsuit in it? It was produced by One Million Dollar Films, which is apparently a collection of athletes who like to make movies (members include Ronny Turiaf, Boris Diaw, and Ian Mahinmi). It's strange, but Batum seems like he could be a pretty decent actor.

MWP done for season?

A lot of things would need to go right for the Blazers, but this definitely helps keep the playoff door open. Go Blazers!

Why not all the time, except B to Backs?

Matthews killed last game with his family watching. L.A. plays well in Dallas. Batum has a thing with Minne. Why not play well all the time?

A drunk I met the tonight.
