    I get what you're saying.

    I can relate to our fan base with the 49ers. Yes, Trent Baalke is a terrible GM, and NOBODY likes this guy and we ALL want him to leave (unless you're one of those morons who tries to justify his "Value" signings....).

    However....I have yet to see or meet one fan who could do a better job than him as GM. Not one. If we hired a fan to run that team, we'd be out of the NFL in a year, and we'd have NO money.

    So what? We should at least try, and accrue the most assets we can.

    The LT will also be ~$10M more next year, so that takes a big bite out of CJ's raise.

    There's absolutely no benefit to losing Crabbe for nothing and weakening the team and future flexibility.

    Do YOU not get it? Why should we be punished for drafting good players? Crabbe was a good pick and he turned out great. Now we can't have him anymore? We can only keep players if they're just okay and thus don't cost much? I'm glad you don't work for the Blazers. Neil will handle this the right way.

    He had 6 freaking teams after him including the Knicks. Someone would have out bid us if we tried to low ball him.
    That would have been stupid, assuming we really wanted him......which it is clear that Neil and Terry did.

    We can compete with Warriors if we sign our RFAs.

    The CBA makes the roster and salaries a sort of jigsaw puzzle. You get pieces that fit, under the tax threshold. Ideally you get to $1 under.

    We do the same thing next year.

    In the meantime, we have the trade deadline mid season and all of the following season to get under the LT. Or pay it, which is an option.

    You talk about how you are glad that we are not Blazer employees, however you make claims like this which are unjustified by anyone outside of league management. Neil seems pretty solid in his contract decisions so far (Aminu, Davis, and Ezeli all signed to 'surprisingly' low contracts) which leads me to believe that your statement is incorrect. I choose to believe that Olshey paid exactly what it took to get Turner to Portland.

    Crabbe is not worth that money. He's massively over-rated by Blazers fans.
    We should only match if we intend to use him as an asset.

    Match and look to trade him. Teams LOVE the type of player Crabbe is and that looks like a horrible contract now but doesn't 18m a year when the cap is over 100m is not an insane contract for a quality starter which with the amount of teams reportedly after Crabbe this year doesn't make that seem like a ridiculous assumption.

    Crabbe was gonna get paid either way, I just find it ridiculous he wants to be a starter and if not, he doesn't wanna be here. If I recall at the exit interview he made it sound like he wanted to be here. Sounds like an ego problem he developed over a season of good play. I don't know. If he doesn't wanna play here, honestly fuck that dude. Go play in Brooklyn then and don't make it anywhere on a shitty team

    Anyone know how soon the Blazers can trade Crabbe if they match? Is it immediately or is there a waiting period?
