    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Takes two to make a trade. The Spurs apparently didn't want to trade him for nothing but a salary dump--looks like no one wants to surrender value for the right to pay Aldridge like a star.

    even the Spurs "magic" is not potent enough to avoid being sucked into the LaMarshmellow swamp, HaHa Spurs

    I think Aldridge would be very valuable for teams looking to tank this upcoming season.

    Crabbe wouldn't get $10M in this offseason.

    I'm more impressed by the feeds he's receiving. It's not hard to shoot well when every pass hits you in the same spot. Now if part of the drill was taking different angles of feeds I would be impressed.

    I don't think we would have offered him the same deal if it weren't for Brooklyn, and Brooklyn would still focus on Porter even if Crabbe was available.

    CJ Miles got 8.3 a year, Crabbe would most definitely get over 10 a year.

    Why? They are comparable players, and I could argue that CJ is better

    Most likely because CJ Miles is 30, and Crabbe turned 24 before signing his deal.

    Why Rondo to Pels? They already have Jrue. And Rondo's played with Boogie before. Didn't work.

    They are absolutely desperate for guards. They had Jrue, Davis and Cousins as a team and nothing else. Might as well go all in with whatever talent they could get.

    You'd Argue the 30 year old who doesn't shoot as well from any category, and its not close, who last year didn't do anything better then Crabbe and is on the downside of his career while Crabbe is only 25 is a comparable player? Okay lets hear it.
