    If he really is giving up on Batum and moving on to Courtney Lee then I think it has blown up in his face. There can be no spin job on that.

    Other than it being reported on the radio, no not really. They never fully explained it. Google search I'm just finding talk of an option deadline, which I assume means a delayed team option.

    ETOs are player only decisions.

    Correct. So I don't see how the mechanism of terminating the contract to keep the non-guaranteed money non-guaranteed can bypass the waiver process.

    That's what I'm saying though. Maybe they're team options that have to be exercised by August 1st? If they're not exercised they just become an UFA, no waiver process, hello cap space. Or they could be exercised and they become ~$5mil expiring contracts to be used in an Iggy trade?

    Honestly, the whole thing became extremely vague when they extended the time frame, so I'm just kicking ideas around.

    Well, if that's the case, then you're stuck. Step one of the buyout process is waivers.

    Quick firing shots!!!!!

    @jwquick: Can't decide if David Kahn is desperate, dumb or merely dogged in his pursuit of Nicolas Batum. Can't doubt his effort, that's for sure.

    We may or not be a playoff team, but this offseason sure has been entertaining.

    Sly Poker Dog ‏@SlyPokerDog @jwquick Dwight @dwightjaynes has a source that says Kahn has handled this perfectly & is the greatest GM in the history of the NBA!

    In not saying it's a buyout though. Team options. Miller's retiring, and is rumored to come back as a coach, so he doesn't care. Webster has a chance to have his option picked up and get paid $5mil next year, which he'll never get as a free agent.

    I'm not disputing any of that. What I'm trying to say is that you can't just say "I hereby 'decline to pick up your option'/'waive you'/'decide I'm only paying you your guaranteed money' without going through the waiver process. Even (as I'm reading more about amnesty) Darko's amnesty savings going to be held up until he clears waivers. I'm not saying you can't offer Nic a contract next Thursday...I'm saying you can't offer him one TODAY.

    Today was gonna be the day
    Kahn was gonna sign Nic Batum.

    By now, he should've somehow
    Realized what he's gotta do.
