As was expected, an offer was made to restricted free agent Nicolas Batum. It is the Minnesota Timberwolves that have popped up as the first suitors, offering a four-year, $45-$50 million deal to acquire Batum. I think it will probably be the first of several contract offers extended to Batum, with the next two likely to come from the New Orleans Hornets and Toronto Raptors.
