Allen Crabbe signs offer sheet with Nets

[B-Roy]

He's gonna get matched.

 

[Denny Crane]

I don't think a S&T can be negotiated once an offer sheet is signed.

I think it can.

 

[riverman]

Got to keep Mo now for sure

 

[BonesJones]

We will have no cap space in the next 3 years, so I think you have to match. He's a good enough asset that you could trade him down the road. The only difference between 4/55 and 4/75 is to Paul Allen. If he's willing to pay him then you keep him

 

[illmatic99]

S&T pretty much an impossibility now that we've got no room below the cap, right?

 

[Cippy91]

From everything I see, people are saying Crabbe should be matched. Interesting.

 

[Jade Falcon]

He's gonna get matched.

Meh.....I don't want him to be miserable here. If he's not happy being on the bench with any kind of money, then he needs to go somewhere where he's happy.

 

[Denny Crane]

It's $75M, or a tad more than Turner got. I think he's worth it. He complements Turner, not replaced by him.

 

[riverman]

Do they wait the three days to match?

 

[illmatic99]

Do they wait the three days to match?

Of course. You have to tie up BK's money strictly for a competitive advantage

Salaries within 25% +$100K like any trade above the cap.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

He has a trade kicker too? FFFFfff

Ideally, but if we need his cap space and aren't going to match, renounce him. That is, if we're ready to immediately sign someone with his cap hold.

 

[Pinwheel1]

When you make that much money, who cares if you start? You are already set for life. You don't need to play for your next contract, not at least for 4 years. Besides even if he was promised a starting job on a shitty team, it doesn't mean he will get the starting position forever.

Ya, but BK has no $ tied up in guys the can move. They aren't trading us Lopez for AC

 

[Natebishop3]

Brooklyn can lick my nuts.

 

[Scalma]

Nets don't have anyone I'd want outside McCullough but we don't need any more bigs. Enjoy the losing Allen.

 

[STOMP]

Match it.

Lol, no thank you! Blind loyalty is no way to build a winner

If they have cap space, we can get a TPE and player(s).

 

[Scalma]

Yah the more I think about it, the less I want to match. I just hope we can replace his shooting somehow. Mclemore would be dope but Divac is a fucking idiot he'll probably ask for CJ.

Can you blame the guy? If I were in his position to move to NY and make 20 mil a year, I'd jump on it in a heartbeat

 

[Schilly]

so next summer we need to sign CJ to an extension which is going to be a big one I assume. We can get into scary Luxury Tax problems real quick. Luckily I don't write those checks!

 

[riverman]

I'm sure Neil has a contingency plan for this. We'll find out soon.

 

[crowTrobot]

payback for stealing Lillard

 

[Wizard Mentor]

What is the possible advantage to letting him walk? We're over the cap, regardless.

Keep him. Win. Trade him. Win more.

[ripcityboy]

Got to march we can't lose the shooting. Even if it's just a sign and trade.

My issue is more with lack of roster flexibility and handcuffing us on possible moves. I don't care about saving PA money when he's about to rake in piles of it with this TV deal (the national one, not Comcast)

 

[riverman]

Bottom line is, Crabbe played for peanuts here and didn't crack the starting rotation except as an injury sub...he has a chance to be in a larger role and if that's what he wants, he's earned it and I wish him well. Class act...no complaints about him.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Coon #91 and #44 deal with this. Once he has signed the offer sheet, he cannot be S&T'd. If we match, he cannot be traded to BKN for a year.

 

[HailBlazers]

Man.... I knew it.

Fuck you Brooklyn.

Meh, pales in comparison to effectively nabbing Dame from them.
