Forum Game Of our "Expensive 3", who is most valuable on the court?

assuming trade with Anderson for Harkless trade goes through.

I think they're all making in the neighborhood of $19 mil.

 

Lol why are we assuming that trade goes through? I put it at under 25% prob. But to play along with the game... Crabbe then Anderson, and lastly my favorite Blazer - Evan Turner. Crabbe still has some potential left, maybe?

 

What do you mean by, "valuable?"

 

Anderson gets a WS/48 of 0.117 (0.6 VORP) for $20.4M per year.

Crabbe is WS/48 of 0.090 (0.6 VORP) for $18.9M

Turner is WS/48 of 0.050 (-0.3 VORP) for $17.8M.

I personally think it goes Anderson > Crabbe > Turner. But all 3 are VASTLY OVERPAID for their contributions

 

Anderson > Crabbe > Turner.

In a vacuum, I think Turner is a better basketball player than Crabbe as he's better in a number of ways. But it's just so hard to survive in today's game without a reliable outside shot.

 

on the court production potential.

 

That's why it's an attempt at an apples-for-apples comparison.

 

Multiple twitter sources/rumors tonight. Of course it could be an incestuous thing.

 

Sorry, i meant with the Blazers specifically. I agree, Melo will be a rocket

 

Turner is the most versatile, but also the worst fit because he can't shoot, Anderson edges Crabbe because of height and forcing bigs to close on him, but the truth is none of them tilt the floor for this team; not one makes a damn bit of difference in the big picture of playoff success. Six of one, half dozen of another.

 

So this assumes the trade goes through AND we still have ET and Crabbe? What salaries are we sending out in that deal then?

 

I was just thinking, Turner would fit real well in a starting 5 with Anderson.

 

YOU SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME.
You made me believe the deal happened!

 

Harkless and Leonard, supposedly.

 

God, what a depressing thread...

 

If we are talking the player's value to the team this season based on likely production only: I'd go Anderson>Crabbe>Turner

If we are talking about their asset value, considering their contract and future production: I'm going with Crabbe>Anderson>Turner

Crabbe is cheaper and will improve; Anderson is more costly and will decline. Turner can't make a three.

 

Turner over Crabbe over Anderson...why? DEFENSE!!!!....Crabbe over Anderson.....age and relative health value scale

 

He's only at peak effectiveness when handling the ball . . . that means less touches for Damian and McCollum, both of whom are at their best when handling the ball. See the problem yet?

Turner should probably be nothing but a sub on this squad (as backed up by his middling efficiency number throughout his career). If he is going to start then that means CJ should become the team's sixth man, and that's just not going to happen.

 

With Dame and CJ we really need wing defenders like Turner...he doesn't need to be taking many shots...off the bench he'll shoot more.

 

He should never have been signed in the first place. Classic square peg trying to fit a round hole.
