    I believe Crabbe being matched along with signing Meyers puts us right at the luxury tax.

    I should at this point adopt the casual fan mindset of not giving a rats ass about the $$ because I don't have to write the checks.

    If you want to write checks and cover that I'm sure the Blazers wouldn't say no. I bet they'd even throw in a few 300 level seats.

    Isn't Paul Allen like the 2nd richest owner in the NBA? Combine that with his health issues, he probably wants to win and the best way for us is to match and keep our players and occasionally trading or adding outsides talent. I know if I was PA, I'd have no problem paying what he will have to.

    That and if the cap went up $30mil that means each owner is sitting on an additional $30 or so from that TV deal so it's not really extra money out of his pocket anyway.

    It's only luxury tax if we end next season over the cap, not if we start the season over the cap.

    That's right! I think with that being said Turner will come off the bench and stay in while Dame and CJ each sub out.

    I think Turner will definitely end up finishing the games, as he has said in previous interviews he doesn't really care about starting---more about being in and finishing the game.

    Reading the Nets message board, many of them seemed to have been excited to get him.

    My Guess:

    1Q / 12:00-8:00
    Lillard/McCollum/Turner
    8:00-4:00
    Lillard/McCollum/Harkless
    4:00-End 1Q
    Lillard/Crabbe/Turner

    2Q / 12:00-8:00
    McCollum/Turner/Crabbe
    8:00-6:00
    McCollum/Crabbe/Harkless
    6:00-4:00
    Lillard/Crabbe/Harkless
    4:00-End 2Q
    Lillard/McCollum/ ETorAC

    Repeat for 2nd half.

    Ball handlers in bold

    Almost always have two ball handlers on the court.

    Always have at least 2 shooters (Out of Lillard, CJ, Crabbe) on court.

    Projects to

    Lillard/CJ 36mpg
    Turner 28mpg
    Crabbe 28mpg
    Harkless 16mpg

    It will probably alternate based on the score and the opposition. If we are behind and need 3's....Crabbe will be in there at the end.
    If we are up and need to protect the ball.....ET.

    That's great for him! He grew up sharing a bed with his mother and brother.

    It seems like they're mainly bitching about not being able to get players to come play for their team, which sounds kind of familiar...
