What did he do?

1. Signed Roy

2. Made us pay more for Batum

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Lets go put dick pics on the kfan rube chat to show them how gay they are! That'll show them!

Darren Wolfson ‏@DarrenWolfson
More later, but #Twolves talked w/ Scola's agent & had genuine interest. But Batum was strung out too far & screwed them in that regard.>>>>>>>>>

What did he do?

1. Signed Roy

2. Made us pay more for Batum

submitted an offer sheet that was shot down because he forgot to waive webster on time, even the kfun rubes were embarrassed by that one

waived webster, amnestied darko, and traded a 2nd with brad miller to get enough cap space to.....get matched, which we said we would do all along

in doing so tied up his cap room for no reason when he could have been bidding on amnesty guys/ trying to sign someone to start at the 2 or 3...their 2/3 positions are: roy/wes johnson/buddinger/wayne ellington...gotta be the worst in the league no?

and signed roy

You forgot
Took two weeks trying to get leverage when he had no way of getting any.

Has Chris Haynes and Ray Felton ever been in the same place at the same time? I swear it's the same guy.

CSNNW confirms Minnesota did offer Derrick Williams along with two first-round picks to the #Blazers for Nicolas Batum. Portland say no.

I don't believe the CSNNW guys anymore, but if this was true, I think it was a dumb decision on our part to say no.

i can only assume pdx/olshey doesnt like dwill then

 

[Pinwheel1]

I think Nic was told that by his agent or maybe Khan. It seems like Haynes and Nic talk directly. Based on what Haynes said on Courtside tonight. But I kind of find it find it hard to believe since the Timberwolves have always denied it.

 

[RoyToy]

Chris Haynes is officially dickweed

Never liked him from day 1. Guy is a straight joke.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

The butthurt went up a notch over at KFAN.

DWill for #2 pick: Rejected
DWill for #7 pick: Rejected
Dwill + two 1st: Rejected

All within a month.

But you have hand it to Kahn - he doesn't give up trying to unload someone!

 

[Duckhook]

Of course Haynes doesn't cite where he "learned" this info from. He's become a talking puppet for Kahn - it's really sad to see him played like a fool like this. I guess I underestimated Kahn's ability to manipulate people. Now if he said he was told by a Blazer executive, that's a different story. He's basically comfirmed he's a tool, and indeed FULL OF SHIT.

 

[RoyToy]

Even the guys on rube think/know that tweet by Haynes is bullshit

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

It wouldn't surprise me if Kahn put this out to make the Blazers look bad.

He's so butthurt.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Darren Wolfson: I'm sure @Chris Haynes trusts his sources just like I do... I 100% don't believe the #Twolves offered D-Will + 2 1st rounders for Batum.


I love Batum as much as anyone, but no way Olshey turns that down

 

[Ed O]

Even the guys on rube think/know that tweet by Haynes is bullshit

Those guys are stuck between a rock and a hard place... so many of them asserted that the Wolves didn't have to offer Williams and that the Blazers wouldn't pass him up because he's so valuable that it's tough to know what to do with the reports. They want to call Olshey dumb for passing on the deal, but that would mean they'd admit that their GM was dumb for offering him... or that Williams isn't worth that much right now.

I'd have taken Williams plus a pair of firsts, if it were up to me, rather than pay Batum that much. Of course... we'll never know for sure if that was offered.

*shrug*

You seem to know a lot about butthurt. I'd imagine you have learned a lot about that with your love affair with Waiters, and then us passing on him for Lillard (we didn't actually pass, but would have). U

 

[ironcrotch]

How does a team say a guy is untouchable and then turns around and is basically begging for someone to take him.

What's funny is if this is true, Kahn loses all bargaining positioning when he says a guy is untouchable. If it isn't true, he's spreading a rumor that makes him lose any bargaining positioning when he says a guy is untouchable.

Adelman on Batum: "He's perfect fit for our team. He can guard 1, 2, 3. He can make outside shots. It was good intent.

i want batum to average 10 fts a game

I want him to average that many blocks + steals... if he doesn't I'm going to call him out for being lazy overpaid and French

OJ Mayo to the Mavs. Now just need Courtney Lee to get signed before Wednesday and the self screwing of Kahn will be complete.

Lee supposedly wants to play for Adelman again, so I wouldn't be surprised if he waited until Batum was matched to sign with Minne. And with Batum obviously being matched, I can see Minne already on the phone negotiating with Lee.

I think Kahn would be worse off if he'd actually acquired Mayo.
