I thought having Battier was an automatic reason to hate the Heat?

Surprisingly, I don't have as much hate for Duke as I once thought. It's just all for that dirty Battier. Duke has given us some quality college players and the should have been great Grant Hill

Makes sense for both parties.
PEK is a fan favorite who produces and is a great offensive and rebounding fit with Love. If Dieng ends up turning into a solid pro the Wolves have a well balanced 3 headed post monster.

Why's this stupid for the Wolves? I'd say that most people agree PEK was worth 10-11 mil. He got 12. I'd have preferred it for 4 years but I like PEK so it's not the worst thing. I think the Brewer contract was worse. Tony Allen signed for less and he's a much better defender. Also, why were you wearing a sombrero

What I wear and what I'm eating are none of your business...I'm on my time.
I think most people also agree that no other team was really pursuing Pek because they knew that the TWolves were going to match any offer sheet...so there was no reason to give the 5th year or offer as much cash as they did. They gave way more cash than was necessary when they weren't really bidding with anyone else.

They had offered him 4/50 (or 4/48) because that's market value for him.
Still 12 mil a year.
If you lowball him maybe he takes his QO and becomes an UFA next year and leaves.
It's not like they can say "no one can offer you more than 7, so here's 7.1" I don't think NBA negotiations work like that.
Also, Schwartz is PEKs agent, Loves agent, and the agent for a few other guys, so, it might be about proving they're trying to win and will pay for it.

There's $8 million in additional performance related add ons aswell apparently. Think its a little too much especially with the 5th year but they couldnt let him go. I do like the fit with Love on the offensive end, defensive end not as sure but Pek is a solid one on one defender. How is he injury wise, seem to remember him having a couple injuries or have I got that wrong?

He had a few minor injuries, nothing that should be a long term problem though.
He's a banger so he'll probably get a little knicked up.
For me, he needs to play 70-75 games a season to make this contract worthwhile.
I heard about the 8 mil in incentives and no ones quite sure what they are yet or how they tie in to the overall numbers.

Ah yea ok, yea he definately needs to play around that to make it worthwhile, let's hope Love stays fit this year aswell.

Ryan Anderson's Girlfriend passed away yesterday. She was on life support and they had to pull plug. Brain dead.
Don't want to speculate what happened but sadly rumors are apparent suicide.

If you don't want to speculate what happened, why did you proceed to immediately speculate on what happened with rumors?

Just letting everyone know what rumors are but I don't want to believe them. :/ Probably just worded what I wanted to say incorrectly.

Apparently she also used to date Carl Pavano for whatever that's worth.
