    Re: Minnesota: full of shit?

    Yeah, Minne is messed up. When you don't have the room to acquire a RFA, the general way you go about this is to talk to the player, talk in very general terms, say we'd like you to join our team, and then you tell the player you are going to attempt to see if the teaming owning the player's rights would consider a sign-and-trade.

    Usually you go through this before agreeing to a contract you cannot even offer.

    Re: Minnesota: full of shit?

    It's funny how the tone on the twolves realgm page has changed since yesterday. Prior to 9pm PST is was, f(*@ the Blazers - Batum doesn't want to be there anyway. Roy/Love/Rubio/Batum/Williams was going to kill in the western conference. Now the realization is setting in that Kahn WAS bluffing and they realize how the team would need to be gutted for a RFA offer, or Portland would be looking at a combination of Williams/Barea/picks in a S&T.

    I have to say, many of you have been saying these very scenarios for at least a week with no one outside this S2 forum listening (Not even the local media jumped on this until 9:01pm last night it seemed). This is a great forum for both well-informed contributors, and dark humor. I love it.

    Definitely. And his agent is an idiot for going with the first boy to ask him to the dance.

    He's worth $11 mil by some measures (see the whole wages of wins thing) and I'd venture that he's pissed that Nate has deflated his perceived worth.

    I also think he's naive; he's all of 23 and trying to make his way in the business with a shit-for-brains agent who's spending more time drooling over his potential 10% than giving his client the best tools to succeed.

    I disagree because fundamentally my opinion of his worth is different. However, if his agent has sent Nic into sandbagger mode, we should think about other avenues. Though, if after a year of a nice 5-year deal with a player option after 4 he feels better about the team, we might be able to recover some of that lost trust, no matter if the lack of trust is legitimate or not.

    Re: Minnesota: full of shit?


    I'd do that every day of the week, and twice on Sundays. Looks like Olshey is waiting for some sweetener from Kahn if a Batum for Williams was a definitive NO earlier...

    They'll be back. I have been told that Kahn offered these Timbertrolls each 2 cases of Molson Ice and a year's supply of chewing tobacco for them to harass us. In addition, he will talk to Minne state reps about legalizing incestuous relations, as well as beastiality.

    Re: Minnesota: full of shit?

    Has a team ever negged on a deal to a RFA after a crazy song and dance like this? I can't imagine it would be good for your reputation.

    Re: Minnesota: full of shit?

    The thing is, I don't think he's worth that kind of money. People keep comparing him to other deals, but it sure seems like teams are slow to adjust to the new CBA. Paying someone like Batum 11.5 million per year is the old way of thinking. With the new CBA, guys like Batum shouldn't be making anywhere near that kind of money. If someone like Hibbert is worth the max, which is somewhere around 14 million, why would a guy like Batum be worth 11.5 or 12 million per year?

    The answer: he's not.

    Batum should be making around 8 million per year. Tops. Max or near max deals should be reserved for established stars. Guys like Aldridge, Hibbert, Griffin, Chris Paul, etc. The league needs to stop paying for potential. Batum has never averaged over 15 ppg and yet he wants near-max-money? Hell to the no.

    Re: Minnesota: full of shit?


    You're assuming Kahn cares about something like that. Everything we've seen about him (and stuff I've posted about him) begs to differ.

    There was at least one guy, but I think I'm the only one who saw it. Anal and cumshots.
