Nope. Can still do it.

You hearing things from the MIN side? Do you have pizza guys up there??

Your link is fucked up (figures)

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

No.

Gotcha.

I thought someone earlier said that was dead after the OS was signed.

fixed

 

[Sedatedfork]

Gotcha.

I guess if all parties agree they can rip up the offer sheet and do a S&T is what some have said on here.

If all sides, min, batum, and portland agree on renouncing the offer sheet. it can happen.

Um, first, the 16.6M they have in cap space is if Batum walks and includes Freeland, Claver, Barton, Leonard, Lillard, Hickson and Thomas (along with the regular 5 guys LMA, Wes, Babbitt, Nolan, E-Will) and stretch buyout of S. Williams. Even if we match Nic we have almost 6M left. Not "locked up cap space." "Locked up cap space" is what happens when you have an 11M starting offer sheet out, can't touch your money for 3 days, and promised Roy 5M of it when it opens up.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Yeah, was just thinking about that.

I know the rules...I was asking if you're hearing that that's something MIN is exploring.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Don't let facts get in the way of their "if you don't let the Wolves have Batum you're SO stupid" argument.

 

[magnifier661]

I got it!!!! S&T Batum for Roy! Lmao

OH, gotcha, no it's not going to happen, its if Portland matches then the wolves are moving on to plan B, courtney lee and others

Sad thing is you're not making it up

I've read that many times on kfan

 

[Mediocre Man]

Gotcha.

I will try to find the rule

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Can't. Roy can't be a Blazer until the duration of the amnestied contract expires.

Lol!

I dont mind matching Batum. He will be 3m overpayed but the FA market is dried up and next years isnt that great at the 3. No way in hell do I want us to let Batum walk then try and get an overpaid worse SF(Gay).

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

When we match Batum I see us doing one of two things.

1. Move Wes before the deadline for expiring contracts to create more cap space for next offseason.

2. We move some of our expiring contracts to a team before the deadline for a player we deem can be a part of our core.

I guess by then we will have a better idea of how Elliot and Barton look. But I can't help compare Wes to Mario Ellie. Every team who let him go regretted it. Including us. I know Wes is nothing more than a good bench player, but I like having him on the team.

That could change by February. We will see.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

No matter what happens, barring a sign and trade, it's a win/win for the Wolves. If the Blazers match they pay a player that they treat as a marginal player as a star and we f their cap. If we get him we add a much needed asset

The butthurt is incredibly strong over there.

You're a little obsessed with what's going on over there.

Morbid hilarity.

With how Wes acts and how Olshey has talked about him, I don't think were going to move Wes unless its in a trade for a true star. He seems to be, along with la, the real leaders of the team. Those are guys you don't really trade unless its for a proven commodity.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

*identify core players

From October to the trade deadline we have some heavy showcasing to do.

I tend to agree. Listen to the Wes interview during the July 13 practice. He's embracing the leadership role. I think after the team mutiny last year, it's important to keep the leaders with the team, particularly with such a young team.

Aldridge, Lillard, Meyers.

Barton is gonna be real good IMO

I liked the part where he talked about Batum. The question was asked about how Nic's attitude would be like if Portland matches. Wes made it clear that Nic would need to get over it quickly and be a professional about it. He wasn't really concerned that Nic would have a problem, but he sounded pretty stern in saying Nic had no choice.
