Again is there another source besides Pick that says we would not match? Why would we say so......so quickly
Also the original source is legit but he mainly breaks player news in terms of american players going over sea's etc and such -- its possible he has heard Portland might not match but i think he might have burned a source by reporting it too early. Also IF true Portland not matching i gotta think 1 of 2 things -- ONE - Harkless not going anywhere OR TWO - Olshey has something lined up either via a trade or something else. I will say it again even though most do not take my advice but CHILL out and wait to see everything take shape
When we first signed Turner he was as good as Crabbe, yesterday he was comparable to Scottie Pippen on defense and today he is better than Crabbe and even as good as Andre Iguodala! I'm starting to like this signing more and more. Turner is like fine wine mixed with steroids! if we wait two or three months he might become as good as Lebron!
I've got one of Barry Bonds old contacts and a friend who specializes in genetic enhancement surgery. You wanna slip Turner a Mickey???
The worst thing that can happen to the Blazers, IMO, is that Crabbe gets and signs an offer at 12:01. Our cap space is on the clock. Ideally his $15M is almost entirely over the cap, not consuming cap space. Neil would have to race the clock to make all the moves involving cap space (renouncing Mo and Leonard) before matching. It looks like his cap hold becomes the offer amount, which would leave Neil choosing between Crabbe or his FA plans. He's probably going to let him walk immediately if he signs an offer sheet. I'd hope Neil gets his agreement to a satisfactory contract so he won't sign an outside offer.
Took me way too much time to understand this I'm not sure you can really refer to Andre Iguodala as "AI"
I don't think is unfair to compare him to Iggy, seeing as they are both point forward types who defend. Let's not forget Turner played with Iggy too. They're very similar.
