Portland has until 10:59 p.m. Minneapolis time Wednesday to match the $46.5 million offer sheet the Wolves offered Nicolas Batum on Sunday. The only question that really remains is whether the Trail Blazers will take every minute to do so.
Once they do match -- unless all parties agree to rescind the offer sheet and still somehow strike a trade -- then what?
Here's where the Wolves likely will move next with the $14 million-plus in salary-cap space they have cleared by waiving Darko Milicic and Martell Webster and trading Brad Miller's contract.
Remember: The Wolves have already committed $5 million a year to former Blazers star guard Brandon Roy and as much as $3 million a year to Russian guard Alexey Shved.
