    KP said not yet. Immediately afterward, Quick said yes. Both could be right (hadn't arrived yet) or Quick is wrong.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    It's become a Millsap-to-Portland discussion thread, which is quite reasonable whether or not an official offer has been made. No need for lockings.

    If Portland gets Millsap, it means we failed at doing a deal we really wanted.

    BUT - it also means that we got Paul Millsap, and have an extra center (Joel) available to trade away for a quality starter at the SF or PG position. It is not what any of us had in mind in the beginning, but it'll do. Joel clearly has a high market value.

    $9m/per

    And as Blazersedge speculated, a 17% signing bonus.

    Good ... that will either fuck them so hard on the luxury tax or force them to deal Carlos Boozer.

    Does the signing bonus count on the salary cap?

    What if the deal is 10/9/9/8 with $3M bonus up front. If that is taxed that would be an extra $6-8M you have paid above market to keep your backup PF.

    Does that mean 17% of 9m or 17% of 36m?
