The examples I used (Gomes vs. Blake) were on old CBA contracts.
Your faith in Kahn and his staff is commendable. Maybe I'm really far out to lunch. I don't get all the info they get. But from everything that's gone on today, I told you at 11am that this was BS and there was a reason Haynes was the only one reporting it as "signed offer sheet." And all day we've gone around the reasons why it's BS. And now it turns out that no offer sheet will be submitted today.
Tell me what's more likely: that Kahn's found some super-secret, not-in-the-CBA way to contravene the 7-day waiver process, and that he's just waiting for the right time to drop the offer sheet to the league so that Olshey will be forced to match without Kahn giving up Webster and MIller...OR that his bluff is so transparent that someone with a basic knowledge of the CBA could call him on it?

I'm sure it's not some super-secret thing and I'm not saying that we couldn't figure it out. I'm just saying that it is more likely that we are missing something than the Wolves bluffing with their cards showing. It's also more likely that the reasoning behind the lack of an offer sheet is because they are still trying to work out a s&t.
 
Dwight Chimes in...sigh

There were a couple of new twists that may have made it a more difficult offer sheet for the Trail Blazers to swallow. For one thing, the T-Wolves have apparently sweetened their offer to include a player or players not previously a part of the talks.

But more important, another new development is that the contract offer sheet Batum has signed apparently contains a 15 percent trade kicker. In other words, if the team that ends up with him wishes to trade him, it is going to have to pay him a costly 15 percent penalty to do so.

That would seem to make the offer sheet more difficult for the Trail Blazers, on a quest for roster flexibility, to accept. And make no mistake, the Blazers are facing a difficult decision.

What the hell is this trade kicker??

and who is this new player? Ridnour?
 
I wouldn't believe anything until you see the dried ink. Jaynes could very well be David Kahn or Ndiaye's mouthpiece in this saga.
 
Dwight's "one source" is so obviously Ndiaye.

"And they aren't bluffing."

:lol:

I see where you are basing your opinion from. My mistake. Fact of the matter is that usually , on this board,we do figure it out before the press does, or for that matter , most of the fan base in the NBA
 
Fuck it, as long as the T-wolves agree to take Jaynes and Canzano I'm all for trading Batum to them.

You're crazy! We are beating these Mexicans by like 40! A lot of great players in the house down here. Pip/Mullin/Clyde.... I was even just doing the wave FAMS!
 
If it is a big concern for us turn the contract in and see how fast we match.
 
Canzano is solid.

Jaynes really needs to go back to his pre-CNSW days: Blogging about fishing.
 
I get that they're trying to work out an S&T. But they have no bargaining power b/c Olshey knows MIN can't offer Batum a sheet until after Webs and Miller are waived and Darko's amnestied, and then all he has to do is match it.

BUT, if they want to give up value, Olshey might let him go. And it looks like MIN's finally figured out that they have to offer more value.

I doubt that is a deal breaker. I guess Batum wants to stay in Portland after all and wants to make it hard for the Blazers to trade him.
 
for the trade kicker:

@dwightjaynes A trade kicker can max out at 15% of rest of the contract value. So MAX it'll be 6.75M if traded this year. Then 5, 3.2, 1.7

@dwightjaynes Bigger problem? MIN physically cannot make an offer to Nic that the league won't shoot down for lack of cap space. MIN @53.6M

@dwightjaynes if POR matches, why would they trade him? Trade kicker's meaningless to them. I get that S&T offer might've gone up, though.
 
So in 2 years, if we want to trade Nic, we'll have to pay him 3M. I think uncle paul can handle that
 
We got smart MotherFuckers on this board...please dont mess with BlazersS2
