    The worst idea I've ever seen on S2.

    Congratulations.

    News flash..."overpaid" Scola makes 5M a year less than LMA and only has 2 guaranteed years left, T.Jones is a "late first" in what world? and if you're counting on MIN and HOU making the top tier of the West in the next two or three years then I dont know what to tell you.

    Coming from you, Fez, that's a compliment. Maybe we could get Willie Warren to fill out the roster? ;)

    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    if we match 4/45 i won't complain. and really really love our team...can't go much higher than that for nic tho. I really do like the idea of derrick williams too, if it's possible to do a S&T...I'm still confused on that.

    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    here's how it would work. In the next week or so, someone from POR contacts someone from MIN (with or without Mr. Ndaiye's interference) and says "we're going to match 4/45...you know that, right?" And MIN says "we really would like Nic, and he seems to want to be here...is there anything we can do?" and we say "Sure. Don't give him the 4/45 offer....we'll S&T him to you for 4/49M and we get Williams and a first (or whatever)." They either say Yes or No.

    Then you get Nic's bridge-burning idiot of an agent on the phone and let him know what's up.

    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    you can def do a sign and trade, i was just correcting some posters who thought we could like use the possibility of us matching as leverage...once he signs an offer sheet, we can not sign and trade him, in fact we can not trade him to that team for the entire duration of his contract

    i.e. we can sign and trade, but not match and trade.

    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    that's right. I'm sorry if what I wrote made it sound like it was something that could happen after Nic signs. My post 107 is what I was talking about. We CAN use matching as leverage before he even receives the offer sheet.

    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    and just a reminder, this is basically speculation batum still has teams he is visiting right?

    not a done deal by any stretch

    Can't do 5 year S & T with new CBA. Only 4 years. Really there probably won't be many S&T anymore.

    Can we trade Nic for Minnesota's coaching staff?

    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    Minny will try to get him signed and the contract sent off to the league as soon as they possibly can, because they know that we will be trying to do the same thing with Hibbert. If they can get it submitted to the league before Hibbert, we will pretty much be fucked.

    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    You're right. You can get a higher % though....4.5 vs. 3.5 iirc. But it's not going to be much/

    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    Do days matter?

    Do hours matter?

    What is the procedure?

    What if Indiana declines to match on Hibbert same day, so they can move on and use their cap space on something else?

    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    I would guess it could be even minutes that matter. I'm not citing anything, but I would guess that it depends on when the offer is formally submitted to the league. If Indy declines to match, that's great for us, but I would think that Minny wouldn't want to give us very much time to consider our options.

    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    someone with twitter tweet larry coon @LarryCoon and ask him about the timing of these offer sheets, when they say 3 days do they mean 72 hours exactly?

    Re: Minnesota wants Batum @ ~12M a year

    I'd be interested to hear more clarifications on these procedural rules too.

    But ultimately are we going to change our mind on matching Batum based off Indy matching? That is mostly the only reason the order would matter.

    If we are matching Batum regardless or letting him walk regardless then who cares if the Hibbert offer is 4 hours later.
