He reportedly wanted 7 mil per year so I am happy.

He's a good prospect for us.

Good move Kahn.

Nikola Pekovic is a pretty awesome player. He's a great finisher inside and can play immediately. T-Wolves can trade Jefforson or Love without worrying now.

He is a centre who is considered one of the best players in Europe.

Love how many guys post on here without even knowing what's going on.

All reports had him getting MLE money wherever he went (his rights were actually a big asset around draft time)

He was drafted two years ago 31st because he told NBA teams he would not be over for 2-3 more years. At the time he was considered a top 15 player in that draft.

Good signing by the Wolves.

From Wiki:
Peković was selected 31st overall in the 2008 NBA Draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves. Many draft experts considered him a top 10 pick, but due to his contract situation with his team in Europe he was selected much lower. He is expected to make his jump overseas to the NBA next season.
