Good deal I said anything over 5 was way too much.

Get ready for a Darko, Pek and Love rotation up front. Bleh. I think we need a big time athlete someonewhere in that mix.

I do think the price is about right. Any less than that and Pek doesn't come over.

These two are the same person, so we have to trade Jefferson I guess.

Ok then I guess that leaves around 11.5M or so in cap space.Said thing is that this is the first sign in the hole Free Agency thing and probably will be the highlight for the Wolves.

Wow, less then I was expecting. We'll have the whitest big man rotation in the league next season.

I like how Chad Ford set it up with his previous tweet:

@chadfordinsider What? ... 12:09 a.m. and no deals! What a bunch of hype ... oh wait, a big one is coming ... wait for it ... wait for it ...

4.3 a year is much better than 5.

WOOHOO!!! MONTENEGRIN RAPIST!!! It's also pretty cool that the Wolves had the first signing of FA. Kahn is working hard...

4.3 a year? That's impressive for a guy like Pekovic.

I predicted earlier that Darko should get a 3 year 14.7 million salary. I might just be on target.

Did we REALLY have to wait until free agency opened to agree to terms with a player that we own the rights to?

Glad he was signed. Glad we didn't overspend. Am enjoying bringing in the first of our Euro stashes.

Kahn waited to get some attention.

yes because then we have cap space. NBA fiscal calendar started over at midnight.

Hey Rev, are your sources still thinking he could be moved? I hope not. I think he is perfect for an offensive big off the bench.

Well then, the NBA can stop holding its collective breath.

I could see a Love/Darko/Pekovic big man rotation being incredibly frustrating for an opposing team. Add some Bjelicia to that, and our bigs could do it all....except jump.

Now whenever someone acts like a smartass about Rubio Kahn can point to Pek and say, "We did it with this guy, Rubio will come over to!"

We are becoming quite the international team.
