    Mags I love your optimism and we seem to usually have similar opinions... but your crazy with a top 3 in the west talk.

    I'd rather have Elliott Williams on the roster over Crabbe.

    Elliott has suffered through 83 surgeries and may never regain his athleticism, which is what his high ceiling was predicated on. Crabbe is long, athletic and has a great long range shot. Also, and this is more of a hunch from watching him play, but looks to have the tools to be an elite wing defender. He is not a D expert at all right now, but I don't think that he was asked to do that on Cal. I actually have very high hopes for this kid.

    We don't have to lose Elliott beerboy! He could always come sit on our bench for free. We could save him his usual spot.

    I could see him becoming Aaron Affalo. Very solid all around player.

    #Blazers rookie Allen Crabbe signed his contract with team last night. It's a 3-year deal that includes a team option in the final year.

    That's about as close as a 2nd-rounder gets to job security. First two years are guaranteed, I assume?

    I would assume the players would all want 1 year deals really, if it is for the minimum...3 year Min deal is kinda harsh imo
