+1000, Roy talking like this the way he's playing is ridiculous, he needs to STFU and do what's best for the team, Miller runs this team better than Roy
Crawford is from Seattle, so this makes perfect sense. Nate Robinson and Marvin Williams should be here soon as well
Didn't we just trade away a combo guard? Hmm, who is who per 36 minutes Player A 17.3 ppg 6.8 apg 5.1 rpg 3.2 topg 417 fg% 400 3pnt% 746 ft% Player B 18.2 ppg 4.1 apg 2.2 rpg 2.3 topg 436 fg% 355 3pnt% 841 ft% One is also 8 years younger than the other
well crawford is exactly what we need. a guy who CAN shoot 3's and basically score when you need a bucket off the bench. he is 100% what we need. However i dont know why cho thought the blazers could get him with jOe johnson being hurt
Ya, well the younger guy doesn't have a very close friendship with Roy, which apparently is important to the people the run this team. Plus, the older guy has Seattle connections. You know how important that is.
one needs to ask in trades that we might make, are we doing it for this season? or the next several years? Crawford will be a UFA this coming offseason, he'll want a lot of money, with Roy and Matthews already under contract I can't imagine we would spend a lot to get him, at least I hope we wouldn't, I would rather look to do trades for players that will likely be here for 2-3 years at least
Crawford is a career 35% 3pt shooter. Bayless is a career 33% 3pt shooter who has seen his 3pt shooting go from 26% his rookie year, to 32% his second year, to 40% thus far this season. The Bayless trade looks to be a disaster if Cho is really interested in Crawford, especially when Crawford is an unrestricted free agent after this season.
You know I hate to say this, but the one spot we really don't need any more help is SG. So unless you are bringing Crawford here to play PG, I really don't know what the point of this is. Trade for a young big that plays inside. When we get a player that plays inside and sets screens, everything else will open up.
I remember him being a nice player to have on a good team and a not good enough player to lead a bunch of scrubs in the pre-Roy days. And I'm not talking about Zach specifically but more of the Zach-mold that also fits players like say Carlos Boozer or Amare Stoudamire and I meant to say I would have liked such a player on the Blazers. When I said Beno Udrih, I was talking specifically about him.
I was thinking along the same lines. Do we really need another SG while Marks is getting minutes on this team? I am all for depth and can't believe the Blazers have gone from one of the deepest teams in the league to a weak bench and bunch of vets, but if we are going to be trading pieces, let's not go after a shooting guard.
Interesting point here and perhaps a sign that the team isn't willing to commit to any extra money past this season.
I don't think money is a big issue with Allen. Just this summer we apparently overpaid for Matthews on a long term deal and front loaded his contract to boot.
