    It might be a trade kicker instead of a no-trade clause.

    They couldnt sign an offer sheet during the moritioum. The report is wrong. They agreed to terms & then decided to do a S&T instead.

    He cannot put a no trade clause into the contract. He can put a trade kicker and did.

    I do not think we should match BUT would be nice to see Hark get a offer too in these 3 days to make it easier cause if Hark get's same type of deal i am not sure he is worth it either. Blazers are in a near impossible situation but you cannot keep both and gotta let one of the RFA walk in my opinion.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Is Rice joking or is he seriously comparing Crabbe to Harden? It's not only money, even if you're over the cap. The luxury tax exists and going over the "apron" (about $4m over the tax line) puts a lot of restrictions on you, like you lose the Bi-Annual Exception, you get a smaller Mid-Level Exception, you can't receive a player in a sign & trade, you don't get Gilbert Arenas Provision protections.

    And Harden was already a star. Crabbe is an okay player. All sixth men aren't created equal.

    Match then trade him at the trade deadline for Cousins. We all know the kind of organization Sac is running down there.

    True. Still makes it harder to get value.

    I think you can turn this into sign and trade. Nets would have to tear up offer.

    Can't be a full no-trade clause...that only happens if you're a 10/5 player or sign a 1-yr Qualifying Offer. It's a 1-year no-trade clause, and even if he agrees, he can't be traded to whoever signed him for 1 year.

    Trade kicker means it will be that much harder to trade him later. Can be up to another 15% added to his already ridiculous contract I believe.

    Sean Marks may be Billy King in whiteface.

    Whats the point of having a billionaire owner if you don't take advantage of it for things like this?

    I didn't want to pay that but shit we have no choice

    Right now fully everybody back with Ezeli and Turner added I feel like we're much better

    But if Crabbe leaves I feel like it's break even

    OMG -- PA is a Billionaire owner cause he does not just throw money around like it grows on a damn tree. This has to be the DUMBEST argument i have seen yet for keeping Crabbe. OK lets say they do match -- what if PA decides can now Payroll has gone up so much maybe time to raise ticket prices and other things is Crabbe now worth it ? BTW i think good chance prices go up for tickets and other stuff anyway but let's suggest PA go even deeper in debt then pass it on to the fans.

    Right with you. Without Crabbe, our supposed strength of outside shooting becomes a major weakness.

    The last argument about having a pure shooter on roster is a good one but be prepared IF they match they almost have to let one IF not both other RFA walk. If you can live with that then cool but i sure as hell do not want to see these same fans watch Hark and/or Myers Walk and then start bitching and whining and calling for the head of Olshey.

    If you match you need to keep him and trade someone else imo. He needs minutes and without it you certainly don't get many suitors for him with that trade kicker that makes his contract even worse to other teams.

    He just got a bunch of money with not only the NBA's tv deal but with the Comcast deal as well.

    He'll be fine.

    I'd certainly be checking out options for trades in the next couple of days to get a cheaper gunner 2G.
