    Per Joe Freeman on 1080am. Oden offer is offical too.

    Oden had a positive doctor checkup today.

    Freeman makes it sound like Patty's deal is non-guaranteed so they could cut him later.

    I'm a bit surprised that they extended a Q.O. to Mills.

    That makes him a RFA, right?

    Is it a bad sign that my first thought was, "What did he test positive for?"

    Remind me what this means. Does he have to accept? What's next?

    I don't really see why we extended the QO to Patty. With the pick of Nolan Smith its obvious he isn't in the long term plans so i'm assuming it because of how great a locker room guy he is and the fact he one of PA favorite Blazers.

    Means he can accept it and play with us for 1 year and become an UFA next year or he can shop around and it gives us the rights to match any offer someone gives him.

    Man, I'm torn. I don't want to overpay him, but I'll be damn if he goes elsewhere and blows the fuck up!

    Armon Johnson's not on the list. Is he on a longer deal than Babbitt and Elliot?

    Mills was a 2nd-rounder, so was Matthews.

    Johnson signed a 2-year contract, like Mills did when he was drafted. The Jazz only signed Matthews to a one-year deal.

    Round drafted had nothing to do with it.

    You're right, but it doesn't matter in terms of this discussion. The Jazz only signed him to a one-year deal. Had they signed him to a two-year deal, they wouldn't have lost him last season.

    Yes I believe Armon's second year is guaranteed, then he becomes a RFA. Since Babbit and Williams were 1st round picks we had to pick up their 3rd year options for the 2012-13 season or they would be UFA next summer.
