    I don't like what's happening. I don't think it is fair or just that portland's organization and coaches spend three years developing Crabbe into a good NBA player (and he sure as hell was not that when he first got drafted. And then some other club is allowed to challenge us with this crazy contract. I think that just looking at the contract shows that Crabbe is disloyal and does not want to be here. I mean he could have seen what they were going to offer and gone back to the Blazers and asked if they could give him close to that. Why would we want him on our team and will it be possible to trade him, especially if he has a bad year on the first year of the contract?
    Well, after saying that, I may be using some hyperbole. I guess if I had to make the decision, I would want to get more info on Crabbe's mindset.

    Sadly.... we still have fax machines. They still exist. Damn old people and their refusal to step into the 21st century.

    Thanks for clarifying that; this would make it easier to imagine matching.

    MEM just got Troy Daniels as a FA. But they arranged a S&T with CHA to generate a Trade Exception. If we're letting AC go, can we at least get a 9 mil TE (50% of first year value)?

    Neil is too stubborn for that.

    He could've done that last year with LMA/SA but acted like a woman scorned. A TPE and Kyle Anderson would've been A LOT better than the cap room - which is useless in this market.

    And why would the Spurs give Kyle Anderson when they could sign LMA for free?

    They wanted to keep Corey Joseph. Had to ship out players just to have enough cap.

    For me, it's the haircut combined with the ears. Now, if he straightened his hair out "appropriation-style" and covered his ears with hippie locks, I'd love it!

    It's strange, but I dig his hair. There is a bit of a fad with that style currently, but Crabbe decided to just do it bigger and more flamboyantly than anyone else. For a quiet guy who who keeps to himself, that takes some real chutzpah.

    He's weighing his options.... but after seeing Patty shoot 3-13 maybe he's leaning towards matching :devilwink:

    Pretty much. He could have just written "Something and stuff. Allen Crabbe. Things ". I suppose it is one step above pretending like he knew something. So he's got that going for him, which is nice.
