    Grant Jarrett is a better prospect than Crabbe.

    The 6'10" shooter we took at #40 and promptly traded to OKC.

    He was signed today to a multi-year deal.

    The negatives outweigh the positives on Olshey's Blazer record. At the time, we all wondered why Olshey sold the pick for only cash. He still thinks like a cheap Clipper. From Wikipedia:

    Come on Olshey, you're supposed to look for deals year-round, not announce in early July that you're retiring till next draft, like Pritchard used to. Bring back Bob!

    Although I went on record that I would cut Crabbe, it was only because I think he will be the odd man out with all the other SG's. Way to early to say he sucks, we have barely seen him play.

    Or you could think of it like this: What other team that you know keeps so many project players on a bench and one time?

    I think PHI would've loved to have had our bench mob last year. Hollis Thompson started 41 games.

    Elliot Williams, Lavoy Allen, Henry Sims, Brandon Davies, Jarvis Varnado, Daniel Orton, Byron Mullens and Lorenzo Brown all got into at least 20 games last year, averaging over 10mpg per.

    That's not even counting guys like Darius Morris, Dewayne Dedmon, Casper Ware, Arnett Moultrie...

    And really, who are our "projects"? CJ isn't really one, he was just slow coming back and then got hurt again. Claver and Freeland aren't "projects". Robinson could be considered one, I guess, but he was sometimes the first big off the bench. It's really just Leonard and Crabbe, and in a fair world both would've been in Idaho instead of in street clothes or buried on the bench.

    Who would prefer to cut Leonard right now? Or perhaps I should say, who wouldn't?

    Give him one more year. Just one. Let him walk next summer if he doesn't improve.

    Crappy part of that is having to commit by October to that. On whether to pick up the next option year.

    I wouldn't pick it up. Let him become an RFA. Maybe that will light a fire under his ass.

    How can you say the guy's been shitty in the pros when he hasn't got any time to show anything? Hell CJ has got more time then Crabbe and showing his worth and he was injured for half a season.

    He's had time in the shittier leagues, ie summer league, nbadl and he has sucked. Doesn't even look like he cares.

    Just maybe there is a reason that CJ has gotten more time than Crabbe...

    Where is Earl Watson nowadays? Is he on a team? Has he retired?

    He wants to coach. I hadn't heard anything recent though.

    Can't, really. If you give him the 4th year you can have him as an RFA after his 4-year rookie contract. If you don't pick up the option, he's a UFA.

    But isn't that what Houston just did? Or am I just confused? I thought they had an option on his last year and they decided to make him a RFA.

    Parsons was a second round pick--his deal was structured differently than Leonard's first-round-pick deal.
