    We needn't worry about such frivelous details.

    If he goes to the Nets we would have at least four years to find out whether or not he is or is not an All-Star level player. Wanna make a bet?

    If through the length of the contract Allen Crabbe just signed, if the Blazers let him go to play for Brooklyn, if in the four years of that contract Crabbe does not make the All- Star team I will send you $100 via Western Union or any other service like that. If he does make the All-Star team then you will pay me $200 via the same means.

    Do we have a deal?

    Until the Nets prove us wrong, shouldn't we assume anything they do is moronic? This makes it obvious we shouldn't match.

    I like Crabbe, but not at that price. I'd rather re-sign Harkless and go with the guards we have. Start Turner at SF, but let him play a lot of guard too. I think he works well paired with either CJ or Dame since he can play the point and let those guys play off the ball more. I know Allen has a better 3 pt. shot than Turner, but not better than Dame or CJ when they're getting to play the 2G spot.

    Ha! A bit ironic that you made a cock-sure statement that Crabbe will make the all-star team, and yet you're giving yourself 2:1 odds in the bet? At least make an even offer.

    you made the initial assertion and then someone disagreed. Not that I really care, but what justifies you getting twice as much $$$ in this bet you're proposing?

    Maybe someone has already said this, but does this make Turner's deal more palatable?

    Has it been confirmed that he actually signed? Seem to be conflicting reports

    Why should it be even? Crabbe would actually have to make the All-Star team in order for me to win the bet while Crabbe has to do absolutely nothing in order for KOR do win the bet. I think my terms on the bet are more than fair.

    generally agree with this, though I'd probably bring CJ or Turner off the bench. Regardless a rotation of Dame, CJ, Turner, Aminu, Harkless, Davis, Plumlee & Ezeli seems pretty nice.

    because you made the initial claim and now it seems like you're not standing by it

    The east is a bit weak, but no way is Crabbe going to be an all star team. Not only would he need to beat out better players, but the Nets would have to improve quite a bit too.

    I think the Nets are hoping for another Drazen Petrovic scenario. I like Crabbe quite a bit, but he is not quite at that level.

    If Crabbe goes to BRK, Turner has better production at the '2' than the '3' anyhow. Split his time at SG/SF and that gives Harkless more time at the '3'.

    Dame - 35 / CJ - 13
    CJ - 22 - / Turner 18 / Montero or Connaugton - 8
    Turner - 16 / Harkless - 32
    Aminu - 32 / Vonleh - 16
    Plumlee - 24 / Ezeli - 24


    That still leaves Davis and Leonard with nor real minutes or Davis plays some PF and Vonleh doesn't get minutes. Either way, even with Crabbe not here, a consolidation may be in order soon.
