    I liked Crabbe a lot, but not for that contract's price tag. Good move by Neil.

    It's also interesting NO choose to keep the better defender/worse shooter of the two (Crabbe/ET).

    6th man of the year Gordon would be pretty okay with me.

    I feel like Sean Spicer. Constantly defending the administration. Telling everyone about how great Crabbe is, then Olshey just fired off a tweet completely contradicting me. I'll be in the bushes if you need me.

    I refuse to believe that PA cares about being in the tax for a year.

    We got less than nothing; we got a bill for $2.8 million for the next 7 years.

    Precursor to another trade or two. I am waiting to see how this all pans out before saying this is a good trade or not.

    It's not the money, it's the other penalties that PA would be concerned about. Though the money matters, too.

    So we didn't lose him for nothing at all. We got the benefit of playing him a whole 'nother season to see if we had something more special than he showed.

    I can see it all now......Crabbe will have a better year next year (basically by default) than he had this year, all because he will be a starter on what will likely be the shittiest team in the entire league. And the people on this board who have always overrated Crabbe will be soiling their panties, convinced we actually gave up a star. Criminy, @KingSpeed would look like an all star playing for Brooklyn. Looks like it's gonna be another long season.....I don't care who/what they traded him for. We just dodged another bullet by getting rid of an overpaid underachiever......now let's dump Meyers for even less.

    Cap Space didn't make the team.

    If its Crabbe for Gordon straight up, would be great, but Hark is part of this equation

    So how does this affect PattyC?
    His money is no longer an issue?

    So, we'd have been over the cap with or without signing Crabbe last year. But by retaining Crabbe, we create a giant aseet upon dealing him. I am praying that this exception is worth more than the RLEC.

    This is why I am completely unflappable about trading Crabbe dude showed NOTHING last year other than if you leave him wide the fuck open he can hit 3 three's per game.
