    +1.

    I mean, it's easy to just look and say that EVERYONE'S overpaid, but eventually, overpaid is only going over what the market might give them. Everyone wants to say Cs at 11 million are overpaid, but when they ALL make 11, then that's clearly marketvalue.
    I think it's a tiny bit higher than I'd like, but I'd match and be happy with him on the team, maybe makiing a million more than he should, same way the max for Hibbert I would have been ok with.

    The Blazers are going to suck for several years, overpaying for Batum isn't going to change that. Save that money for the future.

    I disagree. Portland will not suck for several years, in fact depending on Lillard, they have a decent chance to get into the playoffs this season. As for the future, spend it on who? What high end FA wants to come to Portland?

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    Who are the FA Pg's (Not RFA) We need to sign one and sign Nic.

    Also it is not really that close to what LMA will make. LMA will make 13, 14, and 15 million over the next 3 years.

    But is Portland a good city for a young rich French black man?

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    Do we? Isn't there some new provision that says if a team signs our player to an offer that our money to match is tied up also?

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    Anyway, this is a pretty aggressive move on Batum's part. I mean, ideally he'd sit tight for a few weeks on this offer and allow Portland to use our cap space on other deals first. But I guess he's using Minnesota the same way Hibbert used us to force the issue.

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    I think we should have executed a sign and trade. Now our options are either overpaying Nic or letting him walk for nothing.

    If we match, I sure hope he steps up his game because he hasn't performed at an 11.5M / year level.

    Look at other contracts around the league that were signed this year. He has matched those players output.

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    OK lets for argument sake assume Neil matches. What should our next move be? Sounds like he tried hard with Kaman. (Per Kaman's quotes) Who do we target in the next few days?

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    by the way and news on whether that 46.5 mil is what he "could earn" with incentives or it's just a straight 4 yrs and 46.5 mil?

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    I re-looked at the numbers, and I'm coming around to the contract. He's only 24, and he's really a 16ppg guy if given 36 mpg. He hits 3's at a 40% clip, and he's a good (if overrated) defender.

    He's been used as a 30 mpg guy, but I don't know that it's his fault. He never looks gassed--I think it was mostly Nate using him conservatively because he's young.

    With Lillard creating off penetration and Aldridge doing his thing, this may be the year when Batum takes that next step.
