Crabbe would be a great value at 9m. I like him quite a bit, but not 17m. Same for Enes.

Unless it's executed to perfection, the end game of Brooklyn's "overpay RFAs" strategy is a team filled with bad contracts that still sucks. I don't really like the Crabbe trade for them at all after how he played last season

They basically got what they originally wanted (Crabbe) plus a 1st rounder one year later.

Paul Zuvella posted:Yeah, people act like Crabbe is some horrible player. He's good and an elite shooter. He just is not worth the money. As a Magic fan, as bad as Crabbe is i would rather have him then Biyombo who has virtually the same contract. Add in the fact that we needed shooting and the Magic never traded Vucevic, it's no wonder the Magic are one of the worst teams in the league. chilihead fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Jul 25, 2017 |

When they tried to sign Crabbe, he was a year younger and projectable as a guy who could maybe thrive given a bigger role. Then got a big payday in Portland and didn't really expand his game at all, and he became an albatross contract. Brooklyn probably should have just counted their blessings rather than going back to that specific well. If they wanna roll the dice on talent, then keep digging through the RFA market this year e: Crabbe definitely still has an NBA role, but he's probably never going to justify that contract and the Nets are not in a position to be paying role players $19 million / year

Why do the Nets care about money right now? who cares how bad the deals are until they have a player worth putting a team around.

Crabbe + D'Lo are gonna be pretty bad on the defensive end, but it's very good for D'Lo to have a 40+% 3 point shooter to pass to

The casual fans are pretty awful. I just had to listen to an old woman in my office tell everyone how overrated and disgustingly arrogant LeBron was all playoffs. She couldn't even look at the TV when they showed his face. but it's mostly because I grew up watching/listening to their annoying broadcast team. I'm really glad Allen Iverson's flashy crossovers and inefficient but cool shooting saved 10 year old me from becoming a Celtics fan.

It gets some vets who can help teach the young kids how to play, makes the franchise on the whole less of a deathtrap free agent destination, and conceivably generates the undefinable "goodwill" where some other GMs will answer their phonecalls as thanks for helping dump a bad asset (which might be previously under-recognized if that Pritchard rumor about "gently caress [Danny Ainge]" is true, which it might not be) Plus it sets them up to have a ton of cap space in the future once the contracts expire.

Some dude compiled the list of dozens of Melo Trade Rumors https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/6pg4ro/almost_every_thread_about_carmelo_trade_rumors/ I'm just gonna stick that deadline one onto the pile, more fuel for the Triangle Fire (another NYC classic, surprised I didn't see that used more often. Could've even done it "Triangle Shitwaste Fire" if you wanted to be vulgar, which I most certainly do NOT!)

Crabbe just turned 25 so he could still develop into a good 3 and D player. I would've rather kept him until the trade deadline to see if he could make the jump with Portland. But like I said I think this is the first domino to fall for Portland. Portland will get a $13m trade exception for Crabbe, which is enough to absorb Eric Gordon.
