    Raptors may be good without Lowry because they're a well run organization. Like Spurs out West but without championships. So....

    Cavs, Cs, Bucks, Wiz, Rapts, Heat, Sixers, and Bulls, I guess?

    He's really not better than either nowadays. Teams traditionally get better when he leaves.

    The forum seems to be freaking out on me right now. Tweets aren't loading, or load then disappear.

    I could have swore there was a tweet that said J.J. Redick was signing with the Lakers for $55 million/4 years, but when I tried to respond, it said I didn't have permission and now the tweet seems to be gone. I think the Russians, or maybe Allen Crabbe's agent, have hacked the forum.

    That's because teams tried to make him their #1 guy. As a complimentary scorer off the bench, he'd be awesome.

    Sorry, the facts are the facts. The cap went up another $5 million, but role players that are better than Crabbe are getting $15 - $20 million less.

    I'm not saying I agreed but I really believe that they thought Crabbe was going to take the next big step

    No. Gay looked good in rookie year but he is cancer now.

    Crabbe was awesome last year and we were elite when he took 10+ shots in the game. That has to be a priority next season. Make sure he gets shots because he will hit them.

    Well, he did (kind of) - a big step sideways.

    All we heard all season long from the Crabbe fanboys was that he wasn't overpaid, that $19 million for a bench player was the new norm, just wait until next summer when bench players are getting deals starting at $20 million a season, then Crabbe's deal won't look so bad.

    Well, next summer is here and players that are solid starters and much better than Allen Crabbe are getting $15 - $20 million a less over four years that what Crabbe got.

    The market has spoken and now it's going to be even harder to trade Crabbe and his bloated contract with a 15% trade kicker.

    Hmm. I wonder if the Warriors trying to sign Gay means they've moved on already from Iggy. Or whether they were just kicking the tires.

    How the hell is he a cancer? Never had issues during his whole career. If he was a cancer the Spurs wouldn't have signed him.
