I am fine with this. Although doesn't Portland know you aren't suppose to interrupt when Nico is cooking?
To be honest, I didn't think that number put enough pain in Portland not to match. 11 million gamble that he can be a average shooter is not much imo. Their Portland fans were sort on a rampage anyway with all the Dame news. They are pretty excitable right now. Whether it was the right business decision or not, they would have made this into a bigger deal if they didn't match. So, gamble on the shooting being a swing skill and maybe it turns into a slight positive or even asset.
For Dallas, I don't think Oubre fits what we are looking for. Maybe Jones Jr. May be able to play with the rest of our front court players. But not an MLE offer. I may look other places.
Heck, if we got a rim protecting center without giving up Hardaway, Maybe Tim can play 20 minutes a night at SF. Seems unlikely though.
