I want to know what these "bonsues" were.

He probably tried to pull some shit like the Vikings and Seahawks did to eachother a few years back. Like he wrote in there you get a 1 million dollar bonus for playing more than 30% of your games in Portland, or something, which he obviously would never do playing for them. Of course, those aren't allowed in NBA deals.

So Nic, we're a little over the cap... but... I have a guy, on the west side. Great hook up on snuff at wholesale, he's a good guy. How about we throw in a case to sweeten the deal.
 
okay now I am impressed.

@BlazerFreeman: Olshey said #Blazers will still be under the salary cap after Batum and Price signings.
 
If the bonuses are not valid, shouldn't that make the whole contract null and void? Batum signed a contract that he believed had bonuses in there that were valid. Doesn't sound like there was a meeting of the minds and a contract that is valid.

make Minny try again and another 3 day waiting period. :D

BTW- I think the Minny hate should stop. They are a small market team like us that is trying to be aggressive and become a contender. The deck is stacked against them (like us) and I wish them the best (unless they are battling the Blazers). They do have a young exciting group . . . but that doesn't mean much in this NBA where stars combine to squash small market teams.

No, this can't be true. I had many Minnetards from KFAN tell me that this would screw up our cap for years.

This whole episode is a fukkin fiasco, they should fine the shit out of Kahn for all this crap of invalid offers and not even being able to correctly write a friggin cintract - what a bunch of slime balls

I keep thinking Kahn has hit bottom but then something even funnier happens... If I were the TWolves right now I'd be offering up the GM job to Brian from Washington, he's obviously smarter.

Kahn is making them look very bad.

It's not David Kahn's fault that he's stupid ... It's his mother's for failing to put him in a burlap sack and throw him into a river at birth.

I'd feel so good about that.

With the disallowed bonuses, it probably is for less than was originally discussed, but it may also be backloaded so that there's less money in the first year.

Sounds like the voice of reason, but...
1) some of their fans came onto this very site for the sole purpose of spamming
2) their GM, a former oregonian, openly hates us, and has used childish tactics against us, even going so far as hurting his own team in order to hurt us.

Minnetards (as some have called them) seem like a much more reasonable target for childish humor than HCPs wife - even though HCP himself has encouraged such tomfoolery in the past.

My dear mother was born in Minnesota, and I'm 1/4 Norwegian, and I'm a Vikings fan. But, when it comes to basketball, F--- them.
 
It's just hilarious. It's like Kahn has been a complete joke through this entire process. And to top it off, as we're matching, Olshey gets to point out that the NBA disallowed parts of the contract. It's just one more, "finger point and laugh directed at Kahn and Minnesota." I love this. Thanks Minnesota. Fucking chumps.
 
Joe Freeman: Olshey said he communicated with Batum every day throughout free agency. Behind scenes, Olshey said, Batum always wanted to stay w #Blazers about 18 minutes ago

I'm sure this has already been posted, but I wanted to make sure all the Timbertrolls saw it.

VG pointed out that gay can be defined as stupid. My point was, some words have definitions, but we still shouldn't use the word.

e: he was a little late getting on the party train even though it already left the station.
 
Isn't there some sort of GM school that David Kahn could go to so he knows how the CBA works?

Just as the Portland Trail Blazers had said all along, Nicolas Batum is staying in Portland.

The Blazers have decided to match the Minnesota Timberwolves' four-year, $46.5 million offer to restricted free agent forward Nicolas Batum, the team announced Wednesday afternoon.

The move was expected, after general manager Neil Olshey had said repeatedly that the team would match any offer they received for Batum, and after the 6-foot-9 Batum landed at Portland International Airport late Wednesday morning.

Ah

Someone down here called my son a fuck butter. Not sure what it meant, and even though I laughed, and pissed him off more, I don't think it means anything nice

I'm picturing him in his office with ESPN's trade checker up on one screen, and Coon's FAQ on another, figuring out how to build his team.
 
Good news: Blazers have a SF they can pencil in for the next 4 years

Bad news: I have to keep my screen name for the next 4 years

Don't forget YouTube. You can't build a team without YouTube highlight mixes.
