    There's gotta be a pick attached. BKN wanted Crabbe, so they're getting an asset. We clearly don't want...what's his name? Nicholson? If we don't get some sort of asset then Neil really fucked up by matching BKN's offer, because now we're stuck paying $6M to a shitty player.

    Crabbe signed his deal in the offseason and we as well as the Brass expected a jump in production/ability. It didn't happen so they got him gone. This is great as Patty might stay and replace Crabbe.

    Totally agreed. Crabbe's contract was clearly NOT the worst in the league (that would be Ryan Anderson). Crabbe was a useful, if overpaid, player. The guy we got is NOT useful, and is therefore just as overpaid - and probably more overpaid - than Crabbe is, despite being cheaper. We clearly got worse as a result of this trade, even if we did cut payroll. Because we're getting significantly worse as a result of this trade, Neil must have another trade or two lined up to make up the ground we just lost.

    Does this create a giant trade exception for us?

    I don't think so, either. I think things will fall into place and the bigger picture will make sense after all the dust settles. This move was not made in isolation. On the off chance that it was, then Neil fucked up. But he's too smart for something like that.

    Just because you trade 'shit' for less smellier shit doesn't mean it's not shit.

    Maybe this is why there was a delay with the Melo deal? We couldn't trade crabbe to Brooklyn until today.

    I think the rule was we couldn't trade him to Brooklyn for exactly a year. He signed July 25th 2016. Brooklyn was the only team we couldn't trade him to.

    Not even the East is that weak. Even if Kyrie heads West, Crabbe would need to beat out one of Lowry, DeRozan, Wall, Beal, Thomas, Kemba. He'll also have to leap frog guys like Drajic, Avery Bradley, J.J. Redick, possibly Markelle Fulks, etc.

    Jaynes doubles down that we're not making a deal with Houston:

    "I believe this trade is a precursor to some other move or moves. The Blazers now have more flexibility. As I said earlier today, I still do not see any three-way deal with Houston on the horizon. Whatever is going on doesn't have anything to do with that proposed trade."
