    Where are we going to fit him into this lineup? I like his skillset and his vet presence but is he worth keeping this season? I'm sure he could bring back something decent around the All-Star break when some team really needs a solid wing for their rotation (think us last season).

    By the time the trade deadline approaches San Antonio will be begging to trade us LMA for him.

    He only cracks the rotation if one of Crabbe or Harkless falters. Don't think you get more than a late 2nd rounder for him though.

    Maybe we could get a third team involved to take that bum off their hands.

    I think he's a guy that could get his own shot, and right now we need that. I think Crabbe rides the pine.

    Sums it up pretty good. There's no reason for the Blazers to go out of their way to accommodate a veteran on the last year of his deal.

    I don't think we could get a pick. But a decent player? Maybe. If we could swap him for someone like Avery Bradley, we should do it.

    Right now I would bring him off the bench and keep CJ in the starting lineup. We will need Hendo for depth.
    Harkless is the one who should worry, because I can see Crabbe coming in at the 3.

    No way both Crabbe AND Harkless both stay in the rotation ahead of him. One or the other will falter.

    Sypnosis: A decent shooting guard ages backwards, slowly disappearing down the bench, until he becomes CJ McCollum high school size, changes his name to little urkle, and becomes a rapper...

    I think we could, Bradley is kind of the "expensive" odd man out in Boston. He is making 7+ the next three seasons and is on a team with Thomas and Smart, and young prospects like Rozier, Hunter and Young.

    Henderson will be our 6th man. Were going to need his post/slash/midrange game. He can also hit the corner three.

    Well CJ definitely will remain the starter, but I wonder if Stotts will want to risk the chemistry....either he replaces Crabbe in the rotation, or rides the pine. I cant see him replacing Harkless.

    I don't want him taking Mo and Crabbe's minutes in all honesty, those guys need floor time and confidence.

    I don't think it would be Harkless. I think it would be Crabbe.

    I rather roll the dice with Crabbe than trot Hendo out there. That's nothing against Hendo either, just looking towards the future.

    I wouldn't trade Harkless for LMA. No joke!

    I think he's in the same boat as Chris Kaman, and will only play if needed due to injury of foul trouble. Or if Crabbe/Harkless suck it up over an extended period.
