    If Minn can't work out a s&t, they will make the offer. I don't believe they can work out a s&t with an offer signed anyway.

    Fez saying it will be matched means nothing. Absolutely no guarantee it will. Olshey has said he didn't want contracts like the one we would make for Batum. If they match a $45mil (plus incent) offer, then fine. Portland would not be making the right move.

    Your team is rebuilding, they don't need contracts like that right now. Again, you will mired in mediocrity for years. They won't match.

    I don't think Minnesota is convinced or we would have seen an offer sheet signed already and they wouldn't be talking S&T.

    You're forgetting one very important fact. The Blazers are owned by a crazy billionaire who falls in love in crazy shit and mediocre players. Google Experience Music Project. Google Darius Miles

    You can throw out all the "logic" and "facts" you want but at the end of the day all of that doesn't apply to Paul Allen.

    The offer sheet comes after they've exhausted all S&T attmpts. If it comes down to that, you will be Kahn'd one way or the other.

    All we can do is wait and see. In the meantime, let's compare dick size.

    15 of 23 years in the lotto, bro.

    That has to be some kind of pro-sport record.

    Awwww, look at guys. The Minny trolls call things kahn does getting Kahn'd. how cute. Too bad your gm sucks donkey balls.

    We invented the gm terminology aka pritchslapped. I believe you guys were pritchslapped when we got Roy for Randy Foye. Remember that?? Have fun with our sloppy seconds.

    Re: Minnesota: full of shit?

    yet the owner could just match it and watch as you guys don't get the guy you 'want'.

    Thats why the Wolves haven't signed him to an offer sheet. They know the second he does, he's as good as gone. And since he doesn't have a no trade clause, they could trade him and then you'd be without him anyways.

    Wait...they don't need a contract like Nics? You mean...like, he's being overpaid?

    and have you noticed that outside of LaMarcus, no one on the team has a big contract?

    PG? rookie contract
    SG: moderate contract
    SF: no real SF under contract that is a big contract
    PF: big contract
    C: rookie contract or medium contract

    No one has a huge contract on the team. So adding Batum, even at an inflated contract, won't mire (is that the correct spelling? It looks funky) them.

    Re: Minnesota: full of shit?

    You don't think that the Blazers with an overpaid Batum aren't better than the Timberwolves without him?

    I do. And I think that the Blazers very well might stink with an overpaid Batum.

    Re: Minnesota: full of shit?

    Batum would be a#3 or #4 with us. With you he'd be a #2. :lol:

    Read some of the reasoning out there and you'll see that matching Batum isn't good for your team.

    The Wolves who lost 21 of their last 26 games, and the team who has been in the lotto for a straight decade, those Wolves?!

    Re: Minnesota: full of shit?

    So you're GM is willing to be paying a #3 or #4 guy #2 money?

    That's logical.

    Re: Minnesota: full of shit?

    Pekovic >>>> Meyers Leonard?
    Kevin Love > Aldridge
    W/O Batum, Williams or Budinger << Batum
    Roy/Shved = Matthews (Too soon to determine)
    Rubio >>>>> Lilliard

    Yeah, The Wolves are better w/o Batum too.
