    Yeah. It's kinda like how you're paying big bucks for your #1 player, who apparently is growing frustrated.

    He doesn't care if he plays in PDX or not. He said he won't be upset if he returns to PDX. I would prefer the S&T, but I think it's pretty obvious that Olshey/PA is going to match. If they don't match then it was a mistake not to do the S&T if it still got them the cap room they would have and some draft picks. But it looks like they are going to match. Why be mad?

    Canzano with a subtle shot at Jaynes...

    He doesn't play the 'get the word out from agents' like some others in the market do, I don't play that"

    Yep. Funny stuff. Olshey is a fucking marketing machine.

    Glad we kept JJ's Bird rights. I think he'll be good.

    I don't understand why they didn't waive Miller and trade Webs. More space now (5.7 vs. 5.1), more $ for Nic (10.1 to start instead of 9.5), lower $ for NOH to pay in guaranteed salary and cap hit, and you could set Nic up with 4/43 w/out waiting for Ellington

    David Khan on other possible FA acquisitions: talking to the agents every day, a matter of maintaining communication, about time frame and cap room. Being honest and upfront as possible.

    Khan on Batum, and commitment on contract: we see Nic as similar to Chase Budinger, young vet who would grow with Ricky and Kevin. Dynamic wing, defends multiple positions, 3P% improved every year, missing piece for our team. Very clear on the fact that this is RFA, but hopeful. Says if Batum was a UFA, they'd have him by now.

    Ah, unlike Jaynes/Haynes, he clearly states that there is a huge difference between UFA and RFA.

    Probably has to sign the new offer sheet with the trade kicker that the agent probably came up with.

    He signed the first one in pencil, so it was a rough draft.

    While I agree Batum isn't worth this kind of money, we have to match to maintain our talent level unless we get a very workable trade. Letting him walk with what's left over of free agents is not smart.

    David Khan on Why go through with it if Portland will match?: When you make a commitment, you go through with it. Don't make a commitment and then break it. You have to follow through.

    Canzano thinks people on Twitter from Minnesota are a little slow.

    That sounded like it may have been regretfully painful.
