is there a such thing as a pyrrhic defeat?

Kahn basically says he knows Blazers will match but its important to offer since they made a commitment to Batum.
 
that's funny. Hibbert's agent just blessed us for doing the opposite.
 
The rubechat boys are not pleased with Canzano calling MN twitter users slow. I can't wait for them to twitter bomb Canzano! It's the best of both worlds: we hate MN rubes, and Canzano, and now get to see both fight with each other!
 
More on the certain match:

John Canzano ‏@JohnCanzanoBFT
Kahn said he'd prefer to acquire Batum via sign and trade... and I suspect he'll say so until 4:59 p.m. on Sunday
 
So assuming we really get it by Sunday night, do the Blazers wait until Wednesday to match. Those extra 5 days won't hurt

LOL--just when we thought it couldn't get much fucking funnier! This should be good!

I don't want uncertainty. I also don't think it's worth pissing off Ms Khan any more than usual. Just pull the bandaid.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, but what do I do when the enemy of my enemy is also my enemy?
 
It's nice to see Johnny Boy picking on someone other than the Blazers for a change.

And yeah, I'd match the offer within seconds of receiving it. Facial!

You do what Churchill did when talking about the Nazis versus the Soviets (yes I'm Godwinning this bitch!): make sure the fight lasts as long as possible.
 
Just to fuck with Khan, Olshey should ask the T-Wolves for permission to speak with Adelman.
 
I think it's in the Blazers best interest to wait the full 3 days. This way they can continue to potentially do deals before putting Batums salary on the books.
 
If the Blazers want to sign anyone else, or think they can get a lopsided trade done, I'd wait to match until they've crossed those t's and dotted those lower-case j's.

Otherwise, I'd match immediately, and let Batum know you want him and get the team set, so people can just focus on what they need to do next. This would also put the Blazers in a more positive light in this whole craptastic situation, rather than just letting the offer sit out and making the T-pups suffer any longer.

David Khan on Why go through with it if Portland will match?: When you make a commitment, you go through with it. Don't make a commitment and then break it. You have to follow through.

Wish someone would ask Kahn: "Why, if you're so committed to Batum, wouldn't you make a valid S&T offer? Did you actually think you had leverage?"

Follow up: "So you're essentially trading picks in order to save face, that right?"
 
Yeah you have to wait so you keep cap room available in case an offer pops up.

Thats odd Kahn said they have no agreement for Roy or Shved; my guess is they can't be on the record as saying there is a binding agreement until they actually make the agreement. Otherwise I think the NBA can charge those agreements to your cap as Miami did with Alonzo Morning back in the day.

Kahn when asked why go thru all this trouble only to see Blazers match: "We don't see it as trouble."

Kahn said Batum hasn't signed offer sheet, can't do so until Sunday.“If you’ve got some balls, you can do some stuff” ~ Nikola Pekovic
