Allen Crabbe to Undergo Foot Surgery

[Boob-No-More]

"Prior to injury." So ignore the injuries?

No, like I said it was a risk. MEM gambled Parsons would get better - and remember, even with the injuries, he had his two best years statistically in DAL. We gambled that Crabbe would improve. We were both wrong.

Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. The guy misses good parts of two seasons, the most recent playoffs, and has had serious red flag injury/surgery issues, yet multiple GMs went after him.

Because, when healthy, Parsons is a solid third option on a contending team.

Past performance isn't a predictor of future performance, especially if Crabbe were to become a starter elsewhere. Elsewhere without two uber high usage players on the team.

Since he has shown absolutely no ability to create his own shot and gets almost all his offense off wide open 3-pointers, due to the defensive attention those two uber high USG players attract, I expect Crabbe would actually struggle as a starter. His raw numbers might go up due to an increased role, but I would be surprised if his efficiency didn't suffer.

In any case, BRK offered him starter money when he's never been a starter. Right now, all he's proven is that he's a mediocre 6th man on a 41-win team. We gambled that he'd at least be a starter quality player even if he's in a 6th man role. So far, he is not.

Neither of us has a crystal ball, but I do read a lot of GMs' quotes and sports articles about teams saying the big need is shooting. Shooting is something Crabbe is one of the elite at, and Meyers, for a 7'er is also.

Well, hopefully those same GMs are willing to take on the contracts of those two one-trick ponies. I guess we'll see.

Cuban gave Harrison Barnes a MAX contract. Barnes had a 12.3 PER, and 11.7 PPG, missed 16 games, and had a 107 DRtg (111 with the Mavs as full time starter). Crabbe's career DRtg is 111.

Barnes was 23, Crabbe is 24, but was 23 when he was offered a MAX contract by a GM other than NO.

No he's not. Crabbe is 25 and was 24 when BRK signed him to that offer sheet. He turned 24 on APR 9, 2016 and got the offer in July of that same year.

Also, Barnes was a starter on the best regular season team in NBA history and had won a championship ring as a starter the previous year. Putting up slightly better numbers, as a starter on a 73-win team, at a younger age, is more impressive than being voted the 16th best 6th man in the league on a 44 win team.

Barnes was a proven starter. Crabbe was (and still is) not. At the time, a lot of people thought Cuban was crazy to offer Barnes that kind of money.

But, in the end, Barnes became a 19.2 ppg starter with a PER of 16.3, while Crabbe remains a 10.7 ppg back up with a PER = 11.6.

In the end, Cuban doesn't look so stupid, at least on this one. He let Parsons walk and more than replaced his production with a much younger Harrison Barnes.

I wish we had given Harrison "Fucking" Barnes that large RFA deal over Crabbe and Turner. With the Nurk trade we'd be set at 4 starting positions and only needing a starting PF, instead of a starting SF too.
