I think he stated previously he wanted to offer Oden max extension before last season, thus making him eligible to use amnesty on.
Ah. That wasn't clear to me from what he was responding to. I think PapaG was sarcastically asking about maxing Oden next off-season since Portland can offer $26 million more than any other team (or whatever the figure was) and so I thought Brian was saying that was still a valid move.
