    I don't think he is worth the max...Interesting though.

    Why would they mention Portland? Kahn had to have leaked this just to tie up money from Portland for a week before he resigns Pekovic. Either that, or he is begging for a trade at the deadline.

    Not sure, That article came out December 27th, 2012.... Didn't remember reading it here so I thought i would post it.

    Pretty funny they mention Portland.

    wouldn't surprise me if Kahn got fired this offseason.

    If Kahn even makes it to the end of this season. Clearly the man has some serious issues with the Blazers. What a bizarre article. Thanks for posting it! I still have no clue why Portland would be mentioned, or why Kahn would say a thing about Pekovic at this point. Talk about blowing up your locker room!

    Just a completely random statement from Kahn, and it's weird it is from 3 weeks ago.

    What the hell? Is the guy sane?

    Honestly, it sounds like some ham-fisted attempt to bait Allen/Olshey into making Pek an offer and then tying up their cap-room, just so he can dick around for the full allotment of time and then go ahead and match.

    Being an old newspaper guy, it just looks like he's using them as a means of getting his message out.

    Kahn isn't actually quoted, though. The people covering the team just may be trying to sabotage him to get him out and get somebody competent in at Minnesota.

    If true, that's what I thought, too. Still, what a clusterfuck that franchise is right now. Rubio is a bust, Love wants out, and it's an east coast prep school in terms of a roster after that. Pekovic is their best player. Am I insane for thinking this?

    If the Blazers renounce Hickson, don't they have room for a max contract? I think they do.

    Pekovic is a 20+ PER player who is in the low 20s in usage. He'd be the perfect complement to LMA!

    I believe we have something like 13.2m if we renounce Hickson and don't have our draft pick. Enough for a max contract for someone off there first contract.

    Fuck it, I would do it just to mess with them and see if they match. It would be funny when they match and then Love leaves when his deal is up and they're stuck with a gimpy Rubio and a max Pekovic.

    Portland is desperate for a center

    Our all-star PF said we need a 7 footer to help with defense
