    Our offensive game this season is so bad. I think our team became to easy to guard. Pick and roll and screens, thats all we do. And a lot of 1-1 hero balls. Crabbe was a option at least he make 3s.



    AC was a guy who can make 3s in transition and is 200 times better than Evan CRAP Turner. I know he should go because of our cap, but besides that we have the chance to sign morrow and we didnt.

    We are looking very worse than our record, i think thats the scary thing. We need moves, like someone at Sf position.

    I would do it: Harkless, 1ST round, and something else (swanigan, a 2round pick, ed davis) for Harrison Barnes. He would be perfect here in Portland.


    Long season to play, a hard schedule coming... Tough days are coming. Its safe to say: we have to avoid a 5 game losing streak, just have to beat washington tuesday.

    I would never trade Davis. He is just in the right place at the right time consistently.

    No they don't. Crabbe disappears every game and doesn't really bring anything other than a goofy haircut for way too much money. He can't even hold down a starting position with the Nets? Now you think the Blazers need him?

    I agree to some extent, but what would have he ended up costing with in payroll tax.... around 40 million wasn't it? That is obviously more important than winning more ball games.

    Crabbe is decent but if he's the answer the question is too hard. Not worth it.

    One of these players is AC from last year ('16-'17). The other player is Pat so far this year ('17-'18). Tell me which one is which....

    Per 100 possessions:

    Advanced stats:
    upload_2017-12-4_9-19-28.png

    They are VERY comparable players, but I would argue the top line is the slightly better player. Top line is Pat, bottom line is AC.

    We don't miss AC at all. We've replaced him with someone else who's already on the team. The difference is that Pat isn't long enough to play a ton of minutes at the 3. Now that Stotts has figured out that the ET/CJ combination doesn't work well, and he's been playing Napier more - that's created more of a time crunch for Pat.

    missing Allan Crabbe should be merged with the oxymoron thread

    It isn't my 40 million dollars. I just want wins. Turner costs us around 17 mill a year and he's been been absolute crap for much of the season.

    Only things I miss about AC are his hair and his once every 10-15 games ability to be a difference maker.

    Sure we miss Crabbe. In that, the OP is correct.

    What we don't miss is his salary. Which is a different subject.

    If Crabbe got paid what Patty is making, he'd be a nice piece off the bench.

    In related news, if frogs had wings, they wouldn't have to drag their butts on the ground.

    :cheers:

    Well. What ever question we ask in regards to replacing Crabbe's production can produce a shitty answer.

    We are missing a shooter who can defend from the wing position. We're not missing Crabbe.

    Stotts should push Turner to elevate himself to Crabbe's 3 range status.

    Why is this even a thread? I JUST posted this in the other thread. Patty is shooting lights out.
