    You think we don't know that? The question is how many guys making that kind of money can one team have before getting drilled by the penalties associated with repeat offender luxury tax violations? Can you afford to use one of those slots on a guy who is your 6th or 7th man? Is it wise to use it on a guy that may be hard to trade with that salary plus a trade kicker? Are there other players on the roster who fill most of what you'd be losing if you let him walk? Are there other players that you still need to re-sign that may be more important to the team in the long run? Those are all questions that a competent GM has to consider in today's NBA financial universe NOW!!!

    Mentioned his name last night on the podcast. He's actually who I would target right now if I'm Olshey. If you can secure McLemore from the Kings before the weekend, pass on Crabbe. If not, match and look to move his contract down the line.

    I wouldn't give up anything of real value for Ben, certainly not Noah. I mean, they are the Kings, so they have a track record for making silly decisions. I'd see if they'd be interested in a guy like Connaughton and multiple 2nd round picks ... *maybe* a heavily protected 1st (Top 25, which turns into 2nd round picks if not delivered) ... he is a RFA next offseason, so we could be looking at a similar situation if he has a nice year like Crabbe and Harkless did this year.

    I wouldn't go for McLemore.

    He's a free agent after this season, so you're looking at potentially another Allen Crabbe situation, and we're pretty set at the guard positions if you spread out the minutes between Dame/CJ/Turner.

    We have summer league games today and tomorrow, right? Is it crazy to think that how Montero and Connaughton perform in those games could actually have an impact on whether or not we match Crabbe's offer sheet?

    I don't know if you're set if you plan to play Turner @ b/u PG also. (maybe w/Harkless playing strictly 3 we'd be fine, idk)

    B/U PG is split between CJ and ET.

    When do we expect to hear whether this is matched or not? I voted match, just because I'm not sure what else to do with the money (as others have pointed out), but we are in a huge logjam if we match, so I am definitely torn.

    It's a waiting game with the 3 restricted free agents. I expect one of them to be gone..probably Crabbe

    You're right, sorry.

    I believe we basically have until midnight on Sunday to match. Perhaps midnight eastern time though.

    Riverman, we agree on something lol. Im on the patty c bandwagon too. I was impressed with how the organization has high hopes and faith in him. They obviously see something the majority of the rest of us have not

    Just because you don't agree with my reasoning doesn't mean I am talking shit. You don't share my point of view, that's fine. You weren't the one I was asking to bet anyway. Everything is moot anyways because the Blazers will match making all of this irrelevant.

    He plays full out even in garbage time...the dude has a motor and is athletic..I think he makes a leap this season..great work ethic...really high IQ for sports..pitchers are gifted at painting the corners with the ball...he'll probably be the entry pass guy
