    I have to believe you're being intentionally obtuse. There is no reasonable permutation of events for this summer that would require use of Henderson's bird rights that couldn't be accomplished without them.

    Just imagine that Henderson is capable of 3 years of peak performance and willing to come off the bench for Kurt Thomas money...why wouldn't you want him coming off the bench? There's a value in rewarding hard work with loyalty. People won't think Dame is young when Henderson is the same age as Lamarcus...I just don't see replacing him coming off the bench with a better option than a Luke Babbit or Nolan Smith

    And what, precisely, do you mean when you say "Kurt Thomas money"?

    If the Blazers want to give Henderson a 5 year deal at $4M+, and 7.5% raises, this is how to do it. That's assuming Crabbe signs for $10M.

    He's going to get role player money and he's been a starter all his career...I'm comparing him to vets from the Kurt Thomas, Marcus Camby, Gerald Wallace era..and Henderson has value to a team that wants to be a regular playoff contender...he's just not that old...we paid an ancient Camby 13.3 mil to play about 7 good games and be a locker room cancer ending with a coach firing....Gerald Henderson is a high character, hard working, unselfish guy...I just don't see the reason to not keep him around for the prime of his career and benefit from his bench contributions.

    They could instead give him a 4 year deal at 5+M prior to signing Crabbe, thus preserving $6M in cap space since they don't have 11.4M tied up in Henderson's cap hold, and accomplish the exact same result.

    Remember Sean Elliot with the Spurs...to me that could be Gerald Henderson with the Blazers for 2 or 3 years

    Gerald Henderson has never been as good as Sean Elliott. Elliott was a two time all star. Hendo will never sniff an all star game

    All I know is we have to clear enough cap room to Max Durant.

    A 5 year deal may be what hendo wants to sign with us, turning down the 4-year/$5M+ he's offered by another team.

    You're grasping at straws. What possible reason would he have to want to sign a deal for the same amount of money spread over more years?

    Just give up. You're wrong. Accept it.

    The Bulls managed to sign Pau with cap space, Mirotic for MLE, and Hinrich for $2.7M room exception.

    MLE+room >$6M.

    You assume it's same money. The Blazers can offer 5/30 at $6M/year, while other teams can offer 4/24 at $6M. And 7.5% raises.

    By being voted in. That won't happen with Henderson. He doesn't have a country behind him. He's jag in the USA which means "just another guy"
