    That's the ideal, but if we get Gasol I think only Crabbe is brought back. I like Mo but in this financial climate he may get 15+ and I think PDX can only have one of those guys coming off the bench (Crabbe).

    Turner makes either Crabbe or Harkless expendable

    How many teams out there actually have the cap space to offer Moe and Crabbe much money?

    Philly has been really quiet so expect them to make a big push for one of our guys.

    I disagree if we're just talking basketball needs. As I said before, compare it with the GState situation with Barnes, Iggy and Livingston. They need all three, and all three get to play. Harkless is more athletic and can defend bigger players. Crabbe is easily the best shooter of the three, but Turner has the most point guard skills.

    If you're saying "we can't afford all three, so we have to let one go BECAUSE of the possible overlap" then maybe, but I would say "Turner means we can't afford both of Crabbe and Harkless as well". I hope that's not true.

    Not necessarily. They have a bunch of young guys with potential. They probably want to bundle some for a veteran.

    They still have a ton of cap space, with Colangelo running the show there now I would be shocked if they didn't use some of it.

    Maybe they'll take on players like Bogut for teams trying to clear money for their big FAs.

    As long as we're talkin' about Gasol...what's up with Zbo? Love to have him end his career here. He'd help Vonleh along and give some scoring in the paint
