    I was confused also, but apparently my math is wrong

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    But they are now...and POR is not...

    You are basing your premise on that he is worth the contract because he will significantly improve after 4+ years in the NBA...and very few players do that, particularly if they stay with the same team....

    What from this roster has changed from last year after the trade dealine? A bunch of unproven rookies are going to take this team from 28 wins to the playoffs? I don't think that is very realistic....

    Whether you want them to match or not (if it really has been signed), I think its clear they will match. Olshey would have probably taken the draft picks if he never intended to match and moved on.

    this is why draft picks/cap space is a crapshoot. better to wheel and deal for veterans even if they're on the decline!

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    OK, just rechecked. For some reason I didn't have Ellington on there--I thought he'd been traded out. That's why I check with Story's page:

    Love 12,922,194
    Martell Webster 5,712,000
    Darko Milicic
    Brad Miller 5,104,000
    Nikola Pekovic 4,837,200
    Derrick Williams 4,809,840
    Jose Barea 4,493,500
    Wesley Johnson 4,285,560
    Luke Ridnour 4,000,000
    Ricky Rubio 3,741,120
    Wayne Ellington 2,083,042
    Chase Budinger 885,120
    Malcolm Lee 762,195
    Total: 53,635,771

    Can offer 4.4M starting.

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    I agree with your premise here, I think good teams...smart teams...pay that kind of money out to players who have shown on the court that they are worthy of that type of money....A guy like Harden for instance.....Bad teams pay out that kind of money to players who have not shown on the court that they are worthy of it, but they are HOPING that they will...

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    They're going to match. There is no question about that. They knew what the Wolves were going to offer. If they wanted to let him go they would have taken the two first-round picks.

    The other plus: The Wolves waste their amnesty on a smallish contract.

    A win is a win is a win.

    And facts are facts :)

    Might as well stop crying and fretting people. He's gonna be here next year ... just hope he can (mostly) live up to the deal.

    This is where I am. Although I'm still holding out hope that the reported offer is wrong since it hasn't been reported by others yet.

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    At $46.5 Million, Nic better be playing 40 minutes a game and the Trail Blazers better find a coach who is guaranteed to make Nic shine in the offense.

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million


    dunleavy is cheap because he's 31. also i think batum is a more effective all-around player now than dunleavy ever was.

    if you want a cheap vet SF as a stop-gap while we tank and try to preserve cap space for or draft the next big thing might as well just start babbitt or claver

    Were keeping batum and it is an overpay but not by that much. He is worth about 9m a year. Capspace isn't all that great for a team like Portland.

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    so he HASN'T signed?!?!

    I still ask, what's MIN getting done by COB today that frees up another 6.5M in cap room? Miller's retirement (even if it goes through immediately) won't do it.

    Wolves are offering draft picks but won't give up Derrick Williams or Pek
