    Yeah, good translation! The announcers didn't say anything in yesterday's game, so I assumed he was playing tonight vs. France (with Batum, unless he's also traveling to Portland... or Minny, xD).

    Our next game is friday, so I suppose he'll be there a couple of days to sign and then he'll be back by then.

    How much does he sign for? I'm not sure about this if its more than $2mil per. But less than that would be awesome.

    I read the other day that he's still bound to the rookie scale, so he can't sign for a whole lotta skrill.

    He's still a rookie scale guy. It's Freeland that isn't any longer

    Oh good information! Thats nice to hear we got him on the cheap rookie contract. Heck I'm excited.

    Yes Rudy didn't work out here in the long run at all but he still had that great rookie year if Claver just has one year like that it'd make his contract a steal.

    Here's the statement from Portland Trail Blazers GM Neil Olshey on Spanish F Victor Claver, who officially signed on Wednesday: “Victor is a player with a high basketball IQ who will come in as a good complement to our roster,” said Olshey. “He defends well for his size, has a nice shooting touch, and we look forward to having him on board.”

    Jason Quick: Blazers' Claver deal is for a total of $4 million over three years. Just slightly more than a rookie scale dea

    We're filling up our roster with cheap rookies. We should have plenty of cap space next year to go after James Harden.

    Not sure what to think about Victor. He's euroleague production seems pretty paltry, but he seems to have a decent skillset.

    Go after Harden next year? Gee, that will be another bit of excitement like the Hibbert chase, and most likely just as productive.

    Yeah, but now we have Victor Claver and Joel Freeland to dangle in a sign and trade. :wink:

    Harden will get the max and the market (Hibbert, Lopez) has been set for Ibaka and he'll also get the max.

    They must choose between the two.

    Harden looks like the best one to go after though. The Thunder have a lot more committed in salary than the Pacers had. They have 40 mill locked into Durant, Westbrook and Perkins, and both Ibaka and Harden will be coming due.

    Wow, the 2009 draft was not bad at all in the bottom half of the first:

    Code:
    17.	76ers		Jrue Holiday		PG
18.	Timberwolves	Ty Lawson		PG
19.	Hawks		Jeff Teague		PG
20.	Jazz		Eric Maynor		PG
21.	Hornets		Darren Collison		PG
22.	Trail Blazers	Victor Claver		SF
23.	Kings		Omri Casspi		SF
24.	Mavericks	B.J. Mullens		C
25.	Thunder		Rodrigue Beaubois	PG
26.	Bulls		Taj Gibson		PF
    I still maintain the Blazers were sure they'd get ONE of those PGs that went five-in-a-row before Claver, and that he was a fallback.
