Ha I came to this board to post the same rumor. My question is who do these two teams turn to if they don't get Redick? Very anxious to see how much they offer him.

Hopefully Allen Crabbe :abeer:

I think the Nuggets have one of the least aware/hoop knowledgable fans in the league. There's some dude is bitching about how Nurk got one second place vote and when I tried to say that his short stretch of great games was well worth that one measly vote all the sudden it's like I shook the hive.

Nuggets fans seem to be in full meltdown about Nurk. I can't wait to see how they react if he's an all-star/wins most improved/wins a championship.

It's just pathetic on their part at this point. It's not even like he Fd them in FA, that FO messed that situation up, but they still blame Nurk.

Where is this? Reddit?

Yeah as much as I like Crabbe, he is their best option to cut salary.

Yeah he's pretty much a luxury we can't afford right now. Other teams can though, and have the minutes for him.

kentavious Caldwell-Pope is a RFA likely to get an offer at least as much as Crabbe's

Like we are about LMA? Different scenarios, but still. Some of you tools need to learn what a mirror is.

First - I was never that salty about LA leaving.

Second - Take the saltiest person here regarding LA, multiply it by 3, and you have the least salty Nuggets fan on reddit.

Third - You're right, different scenarios. LA was a FA, Nuggets FO traded Nurk. You are comparing apples to oranges.
 
Minnesota is trying to clear caproom to go after Lowry. Right now they have $17mil in space if they renounce everyone. I think there is a Rubio trade to be made there, Ezeli plus Ed Davis...

If you're talking about on the court, cheating/bending the rules I know of a super famous shot by MJ that on replay shows him grabbing the defenders arm, and yanking it to get the defender off balance.
I'm sure if I thought hard enough on it, I could remember things Kobe did as well. Or rather David Stern.

If you're talking about the nut shots he's took over the years, yeah I agree with you. I don't remember Kobe or MJ ever doing something like that.

I saw Kobe elbow Blankey in the throat. At the Rose Garden. Foul, Blankey.

But I think those types of things were relatively rare for Kobe, compared to Chris Paul actually trying to injure our guys on multiple occasions. Fuck that guy.

We just don't have great luck with Spanish players in Portland...makes me wonder about Rubio fitting in......he's talked with Rudy and Victor I'm sure
 
I like rubio but i dont see the point in adding another contract as much as his without dumping a crabbe or turner.

I would way rather go after Patrick Beverly on a better contract. And dude can actually hit a shot.

Meh. I doubt that would be an issue. The Blazers culture seems to be pretty solid these days. And how long has Rubio been playing in the great white wasteland of Minnesota? It's not exactly the Iberian Peninsula. If Rubio got traded here, it would be up to him to fit in. Off the bench, playing defense, setting up teammates. He'd make Crabbe and Meyers look like they were worth their contracts.

I think the culture is vastly different here now.

I would hate that guy on my team. Not a fan of his brand of cheap shit tactics. I prefer watching basketball.
 
I like Shabazz Napier better than Rubio for our team...we have 3 guards and a ball handling wing now...

Daniel Diez disagrees! Just kidding but you could be right...we just have struck out with Spanish league players ....and Rubio has zero offensive game.

Not sure they would want Ed. They have bigs. Lowry will help with their shooting but they still could use more.

If I am Minnesota I keep Rubio for his last year as they will need a backup PG. Maybe trade him at the deadline for more shooting. Plus I don't think we can afford a backup PG who will be making Rubio's current or future salary. That position will be reserved for players on their rookie contract or veteran minimum.

Rubio's contract expires in 2019, if we sent Meyers as part of a package then we shed that a season earlier.
 
If the Celtics are trying to land both, they'll likely get rid of Crowder.

I would immediately jump into 3 team negotiations with IND and BOS, offering Davis/Aminu and a 2018 1st to IND to her Crowder from BOS.

Crowder makes a ton of sense because he's a good all-around player for extremely cheap, and would make Crabbe expendable, which get us under the tax line. Trade Aminu and we'd have our full MLE.

JAE CROWDER IS THE KEY TO OUR OFF-SEASON FLEXIBILITY AND IMPROVEMENT.
