    Remember when some fans/media used to suggest that Paul Allen's days of over spending on the Blazers were long gone. And a few of us, more sane fans, would argue that he is only waiting for the team to get better........

    If Crabbe proves he can be a big time scorer, his size and defense at SG might make CJ expendable.

    At least NO has the chance to find out.

    With the Blunder imploding there's no clear cut third team in the west. It's obvious who will win the championship but if we play our cards right we could be wcfs fodder.

    Reminds me when Wes came back one year and had a consistent stepback we'd never seen before.

    The Blazers have the talent to be really good defensively. This is where they need to really improve. If they can, they will cause a lot of problems

    And then we're one injury away from having a very real shot at the finals.

    That team might not work smoothly, so maybe if we could outrun them and rough them up (which we have the pieces to do) then we can give ourselves a chance.

    No brainer indeed.

    I was half expecting Leonard and Mo to get $15M offers.

    I think they'll match Mo or just sign him like we did Meyers.

    All it took was watching one Summer League game and suddenly they match Crabbe.

    The way we are built, we could give GS trouble. We are far more versatile than they are. We can go big, small, fast, long, etc. GS is kinda in a bind with their lineup.

    Curry / Livingston
    Klay / Clark / McCaw
    Iggy / Looney
    Durant / West / McAdoo
    Green / ZaZa / Jones

    They lost some firepower and flexibility.

    OK -- You all know i was SO SO SO against them matching and i am still not a fan BUT after further thought i do understand WHY they did it. They are banking that Crabbe i would say lives up to the deal but not sure that's possible so live up to 75% of the deal. I do think he COULD become an asset in the future but now i do think you have to consider letting Hark walk UNLESS you decide to trade Vonleh or something cause it just seems like too many players and too few minutes.

    Assuming Moe comes back, where does that put our bench ranking in the league?

    GS could get killed on the boards. In the likely event of a Zaza injury, it gets way worse.

    I agree. Of course I'd rather trade Aminu and Plumee (for a pick) and resign Harkless than let him go. That would thin us out a bit, and I think Harkless has much higher upside than either of those two.

    Dame/Turner
    CJ/Crabbe
    Crabbe/Turner
    Harkless/Davis
    Ezeli/Leonard

    I like the versatility of that rotation a lot. Scraps for Napier, Vonleh, Connaughton, Layman, Montero.

    Turner can play three positions, Harkless two, Crabbe two. Some insurance against injuries.

    I said this in the other thread but it is applicable here as well....
    Keep Harkless too, and play out the the season (or half the season) and let the creme rise to the top. Keep the best and let the others go. Even if you get nothing in return, it would be the same as if you let them walk now. Sure we could make a trade now, but I would not mind waiting..
