Wow nice! I am glad he isn't going to Minnesota.

HELL YEAH! Suck on that Mchale and co!... we'll trade you Randy Foye for Brandon Roy

So, what, is this just a title/pay upgrade? That's what I'm guessing, with maybe a few other duties assigned.

exactly.. pay increase to stay here and win.

how much do you think someone like this makes? I'll say about $150k a year? does that sound reasonable? he can provide in-house legal support for contracts too, so maybe 180?

I bet now he makes 400k+

Sounds like Penn used the T'Wolves to get nice promotion. Kind of reminds me of when Flip Saunders did the same thing with the Blazers to get a better deal out of Minnie. I guess what goes around does come around...this time at least.

As well he should. Sometimes, you have to confront your organization with the threat of departure to get them to reevaluate your importance. He thought he was worth more, and now he is making more. Good for him. Hopefully, he will be happy now and stay for a while.

Another great move by KP. This isn't the first time he has Pritchslapped Minnesota.

Would that be a small-time Btown hustla?
Should be a movie there somewhere.

Did this position exist previously?

Will he be doing anything new?
