    Then every contract is tradeable.

    You know what he meant. Just don't want to see the truth.

    Here's what I'd do:

    1.) See if Philadelphia would trade Okafor for Crabbe
    2.) See if a team would trade a 1st for Nurkic (We could do that as a separate trade, then trade that 1st), or preferably Aminu/Davis.
    3.) Shop Okafor with Harkless and up to the 4 picks for a star (Butler, George, Drummond, etc.). Would be a 3-team trade with Philadelphia.

    So hypothetically:

    Trade Aminu to WAS for 24th pick.

    Then:
    PHI Gets: Crabbe
    We Get: All-Star, Henderson
    Team 3 Gets: Harkless, Okafor, POR 1st, MEM 1st, WAS 1st, CLE 1st

    Detroit have said Drummond is not on the block.

    In Yesterdays NBA players got paid for what they've done, and can do right now.
    In Todays NBA players get paid off potential, and what they could do a year or two into that contract.
    I've thought all along, while Crabbe is getting paid a lot for a backup 2 or 3. Around the NBA his value is high. Not because of what he does right now, but what he could be doing two years from now.
    His rep does a lot to raise his trade value too.
    Gym rat, improves every year. Low minute, high shooting %.

    Aminu is worth way more than the 24th pick

    Kerry Eggers is going to get a very dirty look from Olshey the next time he is in the Rose Garden.

    As for Crabbe's contract, it's not that it's untradeable, it's that it needs to be an unbalanced trade with Portland taking back a lot less salary. That way they can pay the trade kicker which goes against the salary cap but won't push them into the Luxury Tax. If it was a $ for $ trade, Portland has to pay around $20M in Luxury tax....my understanding.

    Taking less for Crabbe means you either get little back, a rookie deal (some would be fine) or the other team has to throw in a pick.

    Ya I know. Just the thought of going after Drummond when we just got Nurk.

    I'd actually rather get out of the Turner deal than Crabbe, because at last Crabbe is a good spot up shooter.

    Crabbe has more value. Not sure you can get much of anything for Turner.

    No he's not. I'm not even sure he's worth that.

    Lou Williams fetched that 27th pick. He's just as valuable across the league as Aminu.

    Do you dispute the first half of the sentence, or the second?

    Not sure if the trade kicker is for the length of the contract or not. Someone, please clarify. It might be just the no-trade part w/o consent is for one year.

    No I really don't, as every contract is "tradable" depending upon what's coming back and what is attached. I really hope Crabbe's contract is not a bad as I think it is, be happy to be proven wrong about that, we may see
