    One thing I haven't heard in all the "Durant will wait 1 year to see what Russ does" stuff...who's to say Russ doesn't do the same thing next year? Take a 1+1 to get to HIS 10-year mark? Then what's KD gonna do, just accept his option and go again? At that point he IS leaving massive money on the table.

    Crabbe+Blake Griffin is better than CJ+Aminu or whoever we start at the four.

    If our starting lineup was

    Dame
    Crabbe
    Harkless
    Griffin
    Whiteside

    That's a pretty damn good starting unit. Better than:

    Dame
    CJ
    Harkless
    Aminu
    Whiteside

    All of the different people the Mavs are looking at makes me wonder if that can only make us look more attractive

    Phooey. Of course, this IS Quick.

    One thing I do NOT want happening is some kind of desperation splurge after all the good FAs have gone elsewhere just to make it look like we're doing something. Call this "The Brian Cardinal"

    Is there any scenario where Portland could afford Anderson + Howard while retaining Harkless and Crabbe?

    If both Howard and Anderson accept contracts starting at $16M, and we renounce Leonard, then it could happen.

    Personally, I think both will get larger deals than that, so most likely no.
