    Thinks getting him would make us even with the Jazz.

    If they sign Ezeli i predict this for a contract - 2 or 3 yr contract for about 12 to 15m per yr

    I just don't understand bringing in more border-line starters of comparable talent to those already on the team. Why?

    edit: especially if you have to renounce Harkless.

    Trade plumlee, especially since they won't pay him next year.

    Crabbe met with the Nets yesterday, doesn't think he'll get as much as reported earlier.

    seems like a lot for a guy with injuries last few yrs and not showing that much, that's too high IMO and not significant FA money left for a team to pay a C big dollars

    Crabbe's lower cap hold is what will keep him over Moe to free up more money.

    The reasoning on the show is because he's what's left, he's 26 so he fits the age curve, per 36 (15/12/3) would be good if it translates, he was stuck behind Bogut and could be better with more time.

    You trade Plums away for a pick, you open up even more room. As pointed out earlier, what other team can even throw 10 mil at Festus?

    Ezeli bought a one way ticket to Portland... He's not talking to other teams, just has to clear up the knee thing. The fact the Blazers also have agreed to sign Layman to a 3 year deal is telling as well.

    That's as high as I would go and I will repeat; "Teams that have significant capspace left already have their C's, so there is really not much competition IMO and Neil has to know this, I think/hope 10-13 mil per yr tops

    With Turner and Ezeli we would have no need for Plumee (and, sadly, Ed Davis either assuming Lenoard is retained). I like the thought of mobile 4s who can defend (Aminu/Harkless) paired with real bigs that can sit in the post on defense (Ezeli/Leonard).
