    They win too if the point is just to clear cap space and make Portland pay dearly for Batum. Maybe Ndiyae has a long memory like Falk and will thank Minny later in Human Capital.

    If they trade Nic in 2 years, they have to pay 3M. PA pays 3M for 2nd-round picks.

    I think you guys are talking yourself into Batum. Read some of your earlier posts about how much you claimed he was worth. It's comedy gold! I really am hoping Kahn has a huge offer out there for Batum and you guys match...for a guy who doesn't even want to play there. Let's go!

    I gotta admit, there's more people coming around to Nic being worth it out of spite... but there's a lot of us here who were always of the opinion that Nic was worth 10-11 a year.

    Doesn't seem like they needed to trade picks in order to clear cap space for other FA's.

    He'll be matched. You can interpret this however you want.

    Deal with it.

    Live with it.

    Embrace it.

    I wonder why Khan felt the need to rush this by trading Miller... was Batum getting antsy not playing for France?

    When he could've just waived them June 30?

    Now, he has 2 2nds, a Darko amnesty and maybe Ellington down the tubes so he can offer Nic a dream that PA is going to stand in the way of.

    I've thought for awhile that he's an 8-9 million a year player and I was surprised they didn't work out some kind of extension that both he and the team could live with ... and then it became apparent that they wanted the cap flexibility this summer to at least try for a "homerun" sort of player which ended up being the failed attempt at Hibbert, coming away empty, it's not really that big of a deal that he's going to be making 2+ million a year more than I would have though reasonable ... looking at the rest of the league it's to be expected when a player hits free agency.

    Yeah, but why not wait the 7 days and not lose some picks over it.

    I still don't think that's right. I don't think you're using Webster's space for Nic...I think it's for Roy in a week.

    Which is what Olshey alluded to at practice today. No surprise to him.

    Probably. If they instead waived Miller Batum would have to wait 7 more days.
