I think it's possible that Presti could match and trade Kanter to another team as well, or be weaving a three way deal with the Blazers. Olshey and Presti could both need the time to do a more complicated 3 team deal that helps both teams. Find out soon enough I guess.

Something involving sending Kaman and one of our non guarteed contracts to a third team( and perhaps a draft pick or cash consids)...and taking on 2 or Three guys from OKC perhaps
 
Sorry if this has been posted:
"The Blazers are awaiting Oklahoma City's decision on matching a $70 million offer sheet for restricted free-agent center Enes Kanter. That deadline is midnight ET on Sunday."

I imagine the call going something like this:

Office of Neil Olshey: Good day, you've reached the office of Neil Olshey, General Manager of The Portland Trail Blazers, how can I help you?

Sam Presti: Sam Presti speaking, could you put Neil on the line, please?

Office of Neil Olshey: Is he expecting your call, sir?

Presti: YES! Put him on the phone, PLEASE!

Neil Olshey: Hey Samo, how the hell are ya??

Presti: Uh...hey Neil, were matching the Enes Kanter offer sheet.

Olshey: Oh? What was that? Penis cancer? I'm sorry man. (audible giggles in the back ground)

Presti: No! ENES...KANTER! .

Olshey: Oh, K-A-N-D...

Presti: No, E-N-E-S K-A-N-T-E-R, Enes Kanter!

Olshey: Oh yeah, that's right, there is no D in Kanter, is there? (audible giggles in the back ground)

Pressti: Jesus Christ! You kiddin' me?

Olshey: Maybe he can buy one with all that money of yours we just gave him. (belly laughter in the back ground)

Presti: What the fuck?

Olshey: OK, thanks for calling Sammy. Best of luck in future endeavors. Bye.

Presti: Yeah, fuck you, asshole!

Olshey: Bye now...(click)

Presti: Motherfucker!
 
I personally was not that excited to get Kanter....I mean, the dude is kind of a coin flip, good offense, bad defense. Well, horrendeous defense of historic porportions if you believe the stats.

His offensive arsenal isn't really that much better than Kaman's. And who want's a fucking Turk?
 
I was happy either way. In the end it wasnt about us as much as it was about fucking the thunder over. And im ok with that.
