CSNNW.com's Chris Haynes interviews Timberwolves second year forward Derrick Williams regarding a near trade to Portland: CSNNW.com asked Williams how close was he to being dealt to the Portland Trail Blazers in a sign-and-trade for Batum. "It was real," Williams explained to CSNNW.com. "My agent told me to be aware and know whats going on at all times. It definitely looked like I was headed to Portland at one point, but I couldn't really focus on that because I play for the Timberwolves. But, it's hard. Everyday I was talking to my agent and he would call me at the end of the day with updates and that's all you could ask for. (It) was definitely a tough time."
