Nicolas Batum, France and Joel Freeland, Great Britain, were listed in Kevin Arnovitz' analysis of the best performances of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London as Honorable Mentions.

Excellent read. Really clears up the current free agency situation for the Wolves. I hope everything Wolfson is saying is true, and it is a relative certainty that the Wolves end up with Hill and Stiemsma in addition to Roy and Shved. I also hope that Lee is their next top SG/SF target after Batum and that the price is indeed right. In my opinion, Brewer is not a close second because of his lack of offensive prowess. Also - Scola would have been nice and I would say that we missed out, but I don't think we need him.

It also states there are $4 million in incentives so initially it's 4 years $46million. Apparently, Batum wants to be a slasher and creator, not just a lock down defender and corner three shooter. Kind of makes me glad we didn't go after him. He wanted to be another high usage player.
