    So we spent the last three years developing this dude so some other team can reap the benefits?

    It obviously isn't an easy decision because they haven't just come out and said they won't match.

    Waiting until the last minute ties up the Nets' cap space.

    People seem to be forgetting that Crabbe is only 24. The next time he hits free agency he'll be the same age as Turner at the start of this season. Ideally he'd be getting this type of offer after he comes off his second deal, but the Nets, as desperate as they are have accelerated the process.

    Playing my own devil's advocate here though, perhaps this is Crabbe at his best, but just scale his numbers up with minutes and usage. Not likely imo, but possible. The good organizations are the ones that consistently inflate the value of their role players. Blazers have done that with Lopez, Matthews and to a lesser extent Batum. Spurs have been doing this for years. Boston recently did this with Turner. So in that sense, we are probably fine even if we don't match.

    Let him walk and he can be the next Travis Outlaw. There's little to no trade value in that contract combined with his skills.

    Crabbe isn't being paid a MAX contract because he's not as good. But he's closer than you'd think. He makes just 2 less 3pt shots per 100 attempts, and scores 2.5 PPG less per 36 minutes.

    Parsons also is a better defender, has a higher TS%, provides twice as many assists & 3 more rebounds. There is more to the game than having a pretty shot.

    Parsons is also coming off two knee injuries.

    And he's getting paid more for those reasons.

    Crabbe is close enough that his contract is warranted.

    He's also a primary part of the offense, and therefore more of a focus for the defense whereas Crabbe is a tertiary player that defenses will cheat off of in order to focus their attention on Dame/CJ.

    Please cheat off the guy who shot almst 40% from 3 last year, that will just mean open 3's and tons of points for the offense.
