Not sure why you would give any more than a one year, heavily incentive laden deal to this guy. Its not as if anyone else was competing for his talents. Kahn is just burning money at this point.

Roy got a second year so that the annual value of the deal would be low enough for them to make all the other moves they made this summer (Kirilenko, Shved, Stiemsma, etc). They added enough guys that any one failed gamble wouldn't hamstring them. Just the fact that they're over .500 with almost all of their starters missing serious time to start the season should earn Kahn a reprieve.
