    Looks like the Blazers are trying to do what the Spurs have done, find D league talent. The kid looks good but if you've seen D league games, there's not much defense played. Seems he likes to drive the lane and finishes well at the rim as well as having a 3pt shot and talent for blocking shots. This could mean Crabbe is headed for the Stampede.

    When the Blazers owned their D-League team, Olshey stocked it with summer signings like this. Coby Karl, Richard Howell, and Dallas Lauderdale were roped into a D-League season by getting fooled that they had a chance to make the Blazers in preseason. Maybe that's a hidden reason now.

    Don't even joke about that.

    If they trade Crabby, I am done with this team. Done, I tell you.

    Even if Sutherland were to completely outplay the entire bench, he still wouldn't be kept on the roster. ~Koby Carl

    What Karl is trying to say is the Blazers have young guys that need time because we don't know what we have in those players yet.

    As long as Roy Toy approves of this move I'm okay with it.
