    Crowder is the perfect SF for this core.

    Neil must. Pritchard owes us for the Babbitt pick.

    Back on topic, who does everyone think Olshey will target with the MLE? Not who you want. Who Olshey wants.

    Bring him on. I could bust out my Zach Randolph jersey I bought on clearance for 5 bucks!

    Might be a little awkward having two ZBos on the team. Collins would have to give up his nickname and Swanigan might have to give up his number ;)

    Ben McLemore now an unrestricted free agent. Time to buy low Olshey. These are the types of players you get for the MLE.

    Not necessarily. I don't think signing someone like McLemore and trading Crabbe are really linked. I think Neil knows that he has to trade either Crabbe or Turner. They're both paid way too much money to come off the bench.

    Neil has no way of trading Crabbe or Turner while making us better in the process, so I guarantee both of them will be Blazers next year.

    In order to get rid of Crabbe or Turner, N.O. would likely have to attach a future 1st to their contracts. Using a future 1st along with Harkless, Davis, Aminu, and Vonleh is really our only realistic way of adding veteran talent, so attaching a future pick to E.T. or A.C. makes us worse while losing an asset we will need to get better.
