    Could they be looking for a trade partner to take those guys and that's why Minny is dragging their feet in actually presenting the offer? That would be a way to get out from the waiver period. But then again, there would be rumblings that these guys are being shopped.

    They extended their options from June 30 until the end of July. They already did that.

    you're not listening and talking past me. Yes, I get that they still have non-guaranteed money. The date for that to become fully guaranteed was all that could be extended. They still have to clear waivers in order to create all that cap space. Once they do, you'll get it. It'll be great. You can also trade them somewhere else, so that THEY can waive them and get all that cap space. AFTER they've cleared waivers. Which takes 7 days.

    I don't get what you're trying to dispute. Under no circumstance you've presented have you shown that there's any way Kahn could offer a 4/46.5M offer sheet to Batum today, tomorrow, or 6 days from now.

    Yeah, but it's devastating to his argument. In one ear, out the other. :lol:

    I typed it wrong. They extended the right to their team options so they don't have to make a decision on them until the end of July. Meaning that they can waive them at that point for the non-guaranteed amount.

    The option was not picked up. They extended the time to make a decision on it from June 30th to the end of July.

    @jwquick No. They get the roster spot, but the cap$$ stay there until waivers are cleared. They still have 53.6M on books until then. ‪#NoNic‬

    One thing that I was also going to mention is that I don't believe that the team options on those contracts operate on the rules of the new cba since they were agreed upon under the old cba.

    Like I said, we are obviously overlooking something as they are not going to try to pull something that any fan could figure out for themselves. I'm probably wrong on the stipulations of why they can do it but I'm sure they can make the offer without it being an issue. I'm sure there are other reasons why the offer isn't submitted as of yet.

    I dont know if Quick is correct, you still have to have the cap space to make the offer from everything I have read, I just dont know the new CBA well enough yet

    Sure. I'm just spitballing here, but my first guess is that they tried to bluff Portland into doing something hasty or desperate and didn't account for just how stubborn Paul Allen can be when it comes to players on his team.

    I don't think that their options fall under the new cba though since they were agreed upon under the old cba. I don't see any mention of the stipulations in the old cba. Here it is if you want to look:
