    If there was any way I could move to PDX; I would do it in a heart beat. Unfortunately my job; which is a mid 6 figure amount, chains me to Lancaster, CA.

    Olshey says Batum called him without Minnesota/agent knowledge to tell him he didn't say those things & that he was told to say those things

    Seems like a stretch.

    Minny's in about the same boat we are. If through an unbalanced trade they can turn their cap space into a good player, and flip DWill into a similar player at a position of need, they'd be in very good shape.

    Unfortunately, they screwed up this free agency. They should have signed and traded Dwill for a 10 Mil/year Batum, then turn their cap space into a player instead of wasting time with an offer sheet.

    I used to spend most of August going between relatives houses in Pelican Rapids, Alexandria, and Minneapolis from the ages of 8-14. I even spent a XMas in Pelican Rapids once, which was fun because of the frozen lakes and snowmobiling. I really liked how everybody seemed to live on a lake and had a boat, but once the sun went down in the summer, you literally had to go inside or you'd get eaten alive by mosquitoes.

    Now the mosquito thing is true. It is the state bird after all. But it rarely get's to -20, especially in the twin cities.

    That he was only saying things because he was told to. It just seems more like a trying to make things better with the fans statement. His agent won't care if he's thrown under the bus by Nic. He works for Nic, and doesn't get paid without him. Kahn, well, whatever.

    No way that Olshey would have accepted a s&t for just Williams if rumors were correct.

    I'm curious why you say that... what exactly did Neil do to make himself look bad. He was consistent the entire time saying they planned to match. I don't think telling Minnesota to actually come up with something more than imaginary cap space before they make the offer is unreasonable. If GMs were allowed to do that they could just throw out max contract offers to screw over the team with the Bird rights. He was trying to work the system and he was really bad at it. Just came out looking like an idiot.

    Oh, I totally agree. I'm quite certain Nicolas wanted to play for Adelman and with Rubio.

    But all in all, this whole saga has been one colossal circle jerk of agent speak, double-talk and shinola ... mostly by Kahn and Nic's agent. Glad Olshey didn't flinch.

    Sorry, dude, but the climate is not something you want to put on a promotional flyer for NBA prospects. ;)
