Crabbes mpg, ppg, rpg, apg, fg% all went up each year. Man that guy sucked Crabbe was 3rd in the league in 3 pt %. He wad complete trash. He may not have been the player you hoped he'd be, but saying he was awful or you have nothing good to say, is stupid. It's not his fault he was offered that contract. Good luck in a Nets uniform
Nicolson does not have playoff experience. Muddling around in the first round is a Portland tradition. I wish Crabbe the best in his career.
I appreciate Crabbe for: Being an NBA-caliber player drafted in the second round. This is far from a given. He was an asset when many guys drafted in that area aren't--it's not his fault that we didn't maximze his talents. In hindsight we probably should've traded him before his contract came up. He was by all accounts a good locker room guy. Definitely a good thing to have on a very young team trying to establish the right culture. Absence of asshole is never as noticeable as asshole, so it's easy to take for granted. Providing us with a $12.5m trade exception. As this guy on Reddit pointed out, this is actually kind of valuable. I think he's one of those guys like Steve Blake who will float around the league earning paychecks for a long time by knowing and playing his role. (Blake finally retired at the age of 36 from the NBA, btw. How crazy is it that he played more than twice as many seasons as Brandon Roy? I think we should retire and un-retire his jersey 3 times.)
Who gives a fuck about Nicholson he will never wear the Blazers' colors. Also last time I checked we went to the 2nd round twice in the last 4 years
Based on some of the comments about him on this board since he was traded, I'm kind of surprised that he isn't just using one digit in his goodbye.
You really hold that against him? Man, somebody offers me 4 years at $19M per it's not going to take long to get my signature on the contract.
I'm happy he's off the roster....different from holding his contract against him....his agent got him paid..good agent if you ask me.
MM crushes it. AC is a good player, and will do very well out east. I wish him good luck and God speed.
Crabbe has done well for a second round pick. He's improved every year, and he will most likely continue to improve, especially with a bigger role as a starter. Hate the contract if you must, but hating the player is pointless. Personally, I was never a big fan and never had high expectations for him, even when others did. I hope he does well as a Nyet. Thanks Allen for being part of the Blazers family, and for bringing back a nice fat trade exception.
I might have to take a few bourbon shots to steady my nerves so I could hold the pen. But I'd sign that sucker before someone came to their senses.
When you get paid as much as he does, you let shit like what I have to say and think roll off your back. You just got ROYALLY PAID. You don't give a shit what forum folk have to say. You just spread your fingers and say "deuces".
