    Crabbe averages .6 steals per game off bench in his career. Not bad at all.

    His raw stats might increase, but I doubt if his advanced stats would be any better. He is almost entirely dependent on others to create scoring opportunities for him. He cannot create for himself and he cannot create for others. He's a terrible rebounder, a terrible passer and the worst defender on a poor defensive team. He would only be a starter on a crappy team. He's a below average 6th man. He'd be a terrible starter.

    If we hadn't signed the unspeakables last year, we'd have enough cap space to be in the running for Igoudala. He could easily start for us at SF.

    No, he didn't. He only had 3 dunks all year, so how could he possibly dunked more than three times off of steals?

    Crabbe had 54 steals last season. Not 3.

    Ideally Stotts should have him just focus on D. Many teams have players who only bust their ass on D and give the ball up on O. When you have Dame and CJ and AC and Nurk on the floor.....you don't need to shoot to earn your paycheck.

    No we wouldn't. Not with CJ and Dame's deals. If we didn't sign Turner, we'd have no cap room this year and Crabbe could only be signed over cap because he was our FA.

    Why? Aminu is one of our best players and is on a good deal.

    More breaking news: James traded to Utah for Charles Ingles, Irving traded to New Oreleans for Tristan Thompson, Drummond traded to the Spurs for a future 1st round pick.

    Yeah I guess I meant he stole the ball then scored an easy basket on the other end. They weren't always dunks. Got it.

    Aminu is absolute garbage. Extremely overrated defender who's no where close to being all-defensive level. Is a fucking trainwreck on the offensive end. Dude is a horrible player and doesn't belong in the NBA.

    No team would give up more than a 2nd for him, and honestly, I'd take it.

    I disagree. I think he would be a very effective on a good team surround by great players who needed a teammate who can spread the floor. He could start for the Cavs and be more effective than JR IMO.

    I'm including Crabbe. You subract those 3, and that's under 88 million. Add in Quarterman, Connoughton, and shedding someone like Ed Davis, that's 20 million in cap space buddy.
