    Kahn is such a newbie to all of this. These "threats" (w/o leverage) is total amateur hour.

    It's "puff, puff, pass!" You keep forgetting to pass whatever it is you're smoking.

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    This is all quite hilarious.

    The owner is giving the Blazers a "last chance" to do a S&T.

    Why is he desperate? They know the Blazers are set to match.

    Game.

    Set.

    Match.

    Which while it sucks because I wanted Batum, then the Blazers are left with paying Batum's contract. Wolves move on to their next target if the Blazers match. It's not the end of the world. Ultimately we're not talking about some 1st option all-star that's a total franchise player. We're talking about a nice roleplayer, that's it.

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    Roy deal can be revised. Not like it matters much to Brandon, he's getting paid the same amount regardless.

    Shved can be signed using the mini-midlevel exception

    I'm getting tired of seeing Brad Miller on your spreadsheets. You guys know he's retired, right? He's just not "officially" off the books yet because that contract has trade value.

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    RFA, it happens.

    The silver lining? It's only a 4-year deal.

    We're not locked into these 5/6 year deals like in the past.

    But we're flattered they have this much interest in Blazer basketball.

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    Exactly, I agree with all that.

    I also fully believe that the Wolves have a Korver for either Barea or Johnson trade in the wings. All just depends on if there's a S&T or not. If there isn't, I'm sure you'll see a couple moves by the Wolves tonight. If there is a S&T, then no need for Korver trade.

    If a bunch of morons like us understand the salary cap, I'm guessing the guys whose job it is to know this stuff have a pretty good clue on it.

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    He's not "officially" off the spreadsheets because he hasn't "officially" retired with the league and as such can't "officially" be taken off of team salary so that you can "officially" offer someone an offer sheet. Don't blame my spreadsheet for your GM's lack of understanding of the CBA.

    I agree that he's not THAT great, and MN would be just fine without him, but who do you see as the next target?

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    Joe Cronin earning his pay, nice job buddy! IMO the pressure mounts on Minny to pony up Williams, if they don't there's no chance of a sign and trade deal IMO and I think they are startin to figure that out - a bit slow however, Hell, I would not be surprised if there is no offer

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    just so you don't have to believe me, here's Coon weighing in on it:
    Like I said before, BOS got around this with Sheed, iirc, b/c he filed retirement papers with the league. But I think even then all 30 teams have to sign off on it (Jason Williams Rule). That takes some time.

    Word is we've kept in contact with Courtney Lee this entire time, as well as discussed an Iggy trade with Philly. Lee's supposedly desperate to play with Adelman again.

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    Maybe if Minny offers Kevin Love, Portland will consider S &T. Trouble (for them) is Minny has so few assets. Right now Kahn resembles the preteen yellling at his/her parents "I'll do what I want! You can't make me do anything! And that's that!"

    Except it isn't.

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    Honestly, the best deal for MIN (if I was their GM) would be to amnesty Darko, take on Korver's contract for a 2nd rounder or something, and then package Miller/Webster/Korver to a team that can give up 20M worth of bad contracts and young players/draft picks. You get overpriced players and some assets, the other team gets 18M in cap/tax relief. Win-Win. And you're not bound by waiver timing.

    Do they count against the salary cap while on waivers?

    Re: Nic 4 years, 46.5 Million

    yeah, that's what the first part of the quote was about. You only get the relief (5.1 in cap hold goes to 600k or whatever) AFTER the waivers are cleared. Which takes 7 days in summer.
