    There is absolutely nothing at all impressive about that. Crabbe has averaged near starter minutes the last two years (26.0 MPG and 28.5 MPG). Shabazz Napier averaged 0.6 STL/G in 9.7 MPG.

    Crabbe's career STL% of 1.3 is well below average.

    Other than knocking down open 3-pointers, there is not one single thing Crabbe does at anywhere near average level. He is entirely 1-dimensional.

    I think everyone needs to relax we don't know what the roster going look like at the start of training camp.

    Holy shit you're way off base. We were way better in games he played than in games he didn't. His defense and rebounding were great and he was actually able to play some center when Davis was out and Leonard sucked. After a tough start to the year, he still shot pretty well and as I said, he was one of only two people who showed up in our last game. Absolutely garbage? Absolutely not.

    Also Aminu always steps his game in playoffs. He did it in Dallas and both years for us. You keep guys like that. And I think he still has upside.

    No, actually he didn't. As pointed out he was bottom 4 in STL% on one of the bottom 5 teams in the league in getting STLs. How does being one of the worst in the league == being good at something?

    Korver is better than Crabbe and was 1/3 the cost.

    He didn't get us easy baskets off of turnovers? Um I saw him do it with my own eyes. Maybe he didn't do at a high rate but he did do it. It was def something he brought to the team.

    Crabbe floats, he needs to shoot the damn ball without conscience. Instead he's far too passive and can't create for himself at all. Little heart.

    Who? Remember the guys you want have to want to sign with us? Keep in mind Chandler Parsons and Spencer Hawks wouldn't even sign with us.

    Man, 5 years at $201M for Curry and $173M for Griffin? Dame's $139M deal looks cheap.

    Sure, he did it a couple times, but if he's one of the worst in the league at it just about any other player you throw out there will do it more. If you don't do something at a high rate, or even an average rate, it's not a strength.

    It's def one of his skills that he brings to the table. Prob the best on our team at it. And I've heard all you have to say. You don't have to say it again.

    So? Last I checked the Cavs were in win now mode. They will take proven talent on a cheap contract over youth and upside every time.

    Yeah Korver was impressive in the finals........but aside from his disappearing act if he was younger he would not be getting 1/3. And as much as you bag on Crabbe's D......Korver's is way worse.
