    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    Wasn't his contract like $10mil first year and then $5mil the 2nd and 3rd year?

    Quick Google check says $13.3mil the first year(including signing bonus) and then $11mil spread out over 4 years?

    Now obviously that's old CBA, but it doesn't jive with what you said about the old CBA.

    LOL, this kind of scenario is exactly what I thought of. Well, that and Cleavon Little pointing a gun at his own head in "Blazing Saddles" stating "I'll shoot the ni**er".

    Kawhi Leonard is probably the most comparable player to Batum, with a bit more potential and a lot more fire, and is earning $1,861,920 from the Spurs this year.

    Thanks Chris Haynes...

    What happens when they turn it in but they can't afford it?

    You mean Kawhi? :lol:

    He's also on a rookie contract. Great contribution.

    Who knows? All I know is that you don't become a great team by overpaying for role players. When I go to a ballgame, the market for hot dogs is $12. I buy my hot dogs on the street for $1.50 or wait until after the game to eat.

    The beauty of sucking is that we have no illusions we're going to be good this year. It's just a matter of the degree of sucking. Let Minny overspend. Our only chance to get good is to have cap space, collect draft picks, hope they pan out and then make a lopsided trade for the final piece.

    Bucher said that Kahn put together many different packages and not one was close.

    Kahn sure is entertaining though.

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    Signed extension on 11/23/10 for an assumed $11,030,000 for 4 years starting in 2011-12 This was subject to old CBA rules with 10.5% decreases. But the old CBA had a clause that said you could give as much signing bonus as possible as long as you were under the cap by that amount. So his contract extension was for 4/11. His ending salary in 2010-11 was 6.7M, and the Thunder had 6.5M in cap room. So they were able to extend his contract in the decreasing amounts, give him a bonus that wasn't prorated, because they applied it all to their present-year cap.

    I'm not sure I explained that correctly, but it can't be done anymore.

    Minnesota certainly expects Batum to be matched. Apparently already talking to other fas to utilize their cap space. #ripcity #blazers

    I agree with you really. batum has been a role player, but was he a role player in Nate's system?

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    I think Jason Quick will be right

    The Blazers won't even have to match an offer

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    Bad news for us (if we want to *keep* Batum) because he'll take the QO at that point and we'll be stuck holding a big bag of nothing next summer

    Many would have laughed in the past, but Quick has been on it as of late

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    I agree. It's almost impossible to know who will be available (either as a FA or in lopsided trade) a year or two from now.

    It's NOT impossible to see the impact of the new CBA, and I believe that teams that show discipline will be better-rewarded for having flexibility. This is, as we should all know, a feeding frenzy and I would prefer Portland not get involved with it.

    So if Quick is right (sure, why not?) would we offer Batum 5/$40 and a smile?

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    I don't think he'll take the QO. We'll offer him a five year deal averaging $8-9MM and he'll jump on it.
