    Kahn could have saved himself some embarrassment if he had just read what Brian posted on this board. What a dufus.

    This has been fun and all, but let's face it, in the end, either the Blazers get a sign and trade done by Sunday or they have to match a whale of a contract for Batum.

    If Match, Miiny has cap space to go after another FA (Lee, OJ Mayo or someone else) or Minny overpays but get a young promising SF.

    The wolves willingness to overpay Batum takes away some leverage by the Blazers when it comes to a sign and trade. If Olshey doesn't plan to match, he needs to get something from the Wolves and will likely back off on his demands.

    I'm hoping the Blazers match, but because Minny has not given Blazers what they are asking for thus far, Minny will now see if Ptd really is going to match or lower their demands in a S&T. . . so in a way it is calling Olshey's potential bluff.

    Batum is not worth 11 million.

    I have little doubt that Olshey comes through on his promise to match the T'Wolves' offer. I hope that he makes them stew for the full three days and comes in with the match at the 11th hour. May as well tie up Minny for a few days as retribution while the Blazers continue to shop for additional players before committing to Batum. In any event, I'd say there's zero chance that Kahn gets to refer to Batum as Manna from France.

    This is why you match. He's not worth $11.5, but he still has a lot of potential.

    he is worth the money people, compared to the entire league, he will be slightly overpaid for his production as he is now, but if he improves at all it is a clear win

    How much is Batum overpaid? Maybe 2-3 Million? And what percentage of the cap is that? About 3-5%? OMG the blazers are crippled for four long years!!!!!!!

    HCP with a (indirectly) great point.

    :lol:

    Batum's development has been stunted in Nate's system. In his four years under Nate the Blazers were dead last in pace.

    14 PPG | 5 RPG | 1 BPG | 1 SPG | 17.3 PER |

    If its 45/4, it's technically "only" $11.25 mil per year.

    Just sayin'.
