That's true

But they can basically get a deal all about done quickly.

This may also be for a restricted FA like Millsap to see if our offer will be matched.

Will Millsap/Lee/Villanueva settle for a backup role?

Not likely…Detroit & OKC seem more likely to be homes for two of these guys. The problem remains, how much $$$ is KP will to spend on a backup PF…those three will demand starter money.

You can start talking at 12:01am EDT. Most contracts wait until the cap has been set. Makes me think it’s a deal that isn’t going to push our cap space.

so the deal might be done as early as 9:02pm PDT today????

everyone talks to everyone

but it can´t be official

true

while you can’t make an “official” offer, you can present your terms and pretty much make handshake agreements.

How did you guys win that?

Can always be rescinded. Show da Bulls they better act fast if they want to deal us Hinrich.

Brandon Roy MAX extension.

Yeah I was wondering about that.

Are we sure this is in reference to a free agent?

by pualo on Jun 30, 2009 2:56 PM PDT up reply actions

i didn't hear Wheels, so I'm not sure

but I do think Roy and LMA are eligible for extensions tonight. There is no benefit to putting it off, so it is plausible that the Roy max offer is what is made, as a show of commitment.

If Roy and LMA are extended tonight, it removes Portland’s cap space flexibility. Removing the cap space flexibility limits the free agents Portland can pursue and/or ability to do lopsided trades (eg. rumored Hinrich trade). Thus, there is a benefit to putting off their extensions.

Roy and LMA can be extended (up to the max amount) later in the summer once Portland settles it’s roster with whatever free agents and trades it desires.
