    I thought it was less than Batum got initially, anyway, he should have taken it

    Okafor.

    But, I don't see Olshey moving Cj. Dame and him act like best buds and Olshey probably overvalued Cj

    IIRC that was one east coast announcer talking out of his ass and never backed up by another source. At least not that I heard.

    better than letting another player go for nothing. I don't care about saving PA money

    I really don't think Crabbe will get 14 million but I guess we'll see.

    Huh? I don't think anyone is concerned with saving Paul Allen money. It's about constructing a championship level team. Having soon to be over half of our cap invested in McCollum, lillard and crabbe isn't necessarily what I'd want to do with our cap space. Id rather spend as much as I could on our starting lineup, and have aminu, Davis and some guard we could get being the backups

    The question has to be asked.

    Knowing crabbe is gonna be PAID this offseason. Do you try to trade him before the deadline in a package for an upgrade at a position, and plan on resigning Gerald Henderson?

    I think Portland will match most anything. I think he's a big piece of the plan going forward, and I think he will be a starter in the playoffs.

    No. Guys like Crabbe are hard enough to find that you hold onto him. There's a REASON why he's going to get paid. 3 and D guys are very hard to come by.

    I would not trade him. I would take the chance that no one goes crazy with an offer. He is in the right age group with Dame and CJ and I think the 3 of them play well together. Hopefully we can keep him for about 10 per year.
