    They probably had a better off season than we did just taking on bad contracts.

    Especially for being an east team. They could make the playoffs.

    You don't post with context, and you're not patient enough to see what's going to happen next so you post conjecture instead...

    Yes. I saved my dislike for his douchebag agent. I continue to believe Nico liked it in Portland and was happy to be back.

    You do know that conjecture means you pull stuff out of your ass, right?

    So NO paid for a year of Crabbe's new contract to see if he was going to make a leap and be worth his new deal. He didn't. He's not. Cut your losses and move along.

    that's disgusting.....they use it in OT all the time...here's my example.....I wouldn't be surprised if Olshey targets a guy nobody is talking about......that's one of my recent conjectures.....any anal references need to be directed elsewhere

    No he paid for two years. Nicholson's contract is 18M that they have to stretch over 7 years.

    Including letting NO restructure his contract to provide more spending money for the team? He has his shoe money now. Honestly. I wouldn't knock him if he doesn't, but, if he REALLY wants to win, he would allow for that to happen. Not a huge cut, but a few mill a year can make the difference, since we have to overpay for people it seems.

    I am 1 and 1 in the two bets Ive had on here and in both instances the winner was paid.

    I actually only really remember one bet that took place here where the winner was not compensated. Just sayin' I think @KingSpeed deserves a trophy or something. ;)

    Beats the heck out of paying repeater luxury tax on Crabbe's contract. NO took a gamble and it didn't pay off. It happens. I can just imagine the posts around here if he hadn't matched and Crabbe played great for the Nets.

    I see this move as basically a non-event. Crabbe was massively overpaid so he needed to be moved. I don't see Olshey making another move this summer of any consequence.
