    Depends on what we had to give up to get him.

    Rudy Gay would be dynamite off the bench.

    Project Pat.

    Maybe even Layman could get solid minutes at SF.

    Stotts always gives second year guys a shot early in the season..did it with CJ, Crabbe and Leonard as well as Joel Freeland...Connaughton and Layman will get some burn...Layman will probably sub in for Aminu at times and Connaughton for Crabbe but my money is on Mo Harkless taking Crabbe's spot from last season for the bulk of the year

    I have a feeling whomever we replace Crabbe with is going to be like buying a cut rate Lenovo lap top and telling yourself it has a good keyboard.

    Mario Hezonja from Orlando. His stats from last year don't show it - but the guy is a good shooter.

    Orlando's management may just be incompetent enough to give him up for cheap, based on recent deals they've struck.

    He's got a battle with Napier in training camp...Napier is probably more polished

    A battle for what? I think the PG project for Montero is over. At 6'7" and a 8'8" standing reach, he should be all wing this year. At least that is what he did in the D league. (I think) He has put on some weight but needs more.

    They worked him out at point all last year...but he's a combo guard..the point is Montero has to secure a bench mob spot over him..we've got Connaughton to use at the 2 and Harkless now.

    Stotts talked about it last summer...how they wanted to teach him the point guard position...add some length at the guard for matchups. Shawn Livingston is a good comparison as far as his length for the position

    Whatever position he ends up in, he has natural ball handling and creative skills that most players just don't have. If he plays SG and can create a little....great.

    If we lose Crabbe we'd have $2.7M in cap space which would open up this:

    SAC Gets: Jerian Grant, '17 CHI 1st
    CHI Gets: Mason Plumlee
    POR Gets: Ben McLemore

    Lillard (36) / Turner (12)
    CJ (36) / McLemore (12)
    Turner (18) / Harkless (22) / Aminu (8)
    Aminu (20) / Davis (16) / Vonleh (12)
    Ezeli (24) / Leonard (18) / Davis (6)
