    Neither does Klay, and many other premier players. That's not really a reason to not pay him.

    Crabbe is an average defender, and Danny Green was overpaid.

    Id match any offer for Meyers. If some other team really wants him they can pony up a pick or a player thank you.

    You think Crabbe is a premier player? If he were as good as Klay Thompson he'd be starting.

    When did I say he was a premier player? I don't know what he is, he's not done developing. I'm saying you don't not pay a guy because he's not a ballhandler.

    Why the hell would you hope I'm wrong? You wouldn't want another team trading for him? Huh?

    And I disagree that crabbe is an average defender. He's been above average since day one.

    We can only work a trade before a team puts a offer on him. Once they try to sign him we can only match or decline. We can't trade him at that point.

    So it is rare and we are very unlikely to get something for him.

    You can match and trade later. Maybe I'm wrong.

    Yeah exactly, we can't trade him until December. If he signs an offer sheet we can't trade him to that team for a year. If he struggles as he always has or gets injured as he often has we're stuck with a contract that has huge negative value. It could prevent us from keeping CJ, Plumlee and Vonleh down the road. No thanks.

    Or couldn't they work something out where instead of matching they agree to a sign and trade?

    I asked you if you thought he was a premier player, because it seems you want to play him like one. I don't think he is. He's a good bench player. If he were so great, why is Stotts only playing him 26 minutes per game?

    So we can match, have a disgruntled player in the locker room, bench more deserving players and end up with Ersan Illyasova. Great plan.

    Not for RFA players. It just negated the advantage of an UFA sign and trade.

    Have you checked out our backcourt? 26 minutes is quite a lot for a bench player. He also plays a lot late in games. That should tell you what the coaches think of him

    What evidence do you have for that? If you look at his defensive percentages, they are basically a wash.
