The report was we weren't going to match, but at least it's been refuted...just seems like Neil is putting to much on getting gasol

Again is there another source besides Pick that says we would not match? Why would we say so......so quickly
 
Maybe it's more messed up for nets fans who thought for a moment they had Crabbe.
 
Also the original source is legit but he mainly breaks player news in terms of american players going over sea's etc and such -- its possible he has heard Portland might not match but i think he might have burned a source by reporting it too early.

Also IF true Portland not matching i gotta think 1 of 2 things -- ONE - Harkless not going anywhere OR TWO - Olshey has something lined up either via a trade or something else.

I will say it again even though most do not take my advice but CHILL out and wait to see everything take shape

Never underestimate the value of spacing. In a vacuum I think Turner is somewhat better overall (much better passer and driver), but next to Damian and CJ I'm not sure how they're going make all of those pieces fit -- seems like somebody is going to be underutilized. We'll see.

I think the 4 play at the same time. Some of the time.
 
When we first signed Turner he was as good as Crabbe, yesterday he was comparable to Scottie Pippen on defense and today he is better than Crabbe and even as good as Andre Iguodala!

I'm starting to like this signing more and more. Turner is like fine wine mixed with steroids! if we wait two or three months he might become as good as Lebron!

I've got one of Barry Bonds old contacts and a friend who specializes in genetic enhancement surgery. You wanna slip Turner a Mickey???
 
The worst thing that can happen to the Blazers, IMO, is that Crabbe gets and signs an offer at 12:01. Our cap space is on the clock. Ideally his $15M is almost entirely over the cap, not consuming cap space. Neil would have to race the clock to make all the moves involving cap space (renouncing Mo and Leonard) before matching. It looks like his cap hold becomes the offer amount, which would leave Neil choosing between Crabbe or his FA plans. He's probably going to let him walk immediately if he signs an offer sheet. I'd hope Neil gets his agreement to a satisfactory contract so he won't sign an outside offer.

I don't think is unfair to compare him to Iggy, seeing as they are both point forward types who defend. Let's not forget Turner played with Iggy too. They're very similar.

Sometimes i feel like we live in a twilight zone where unfavorable things happen to the blazers and no matter what people will spin it in a positive way. Its totally the participation award culture among blazer fans.

What kind of dumbass comment is that?

Is this bad news that Brooklyn wants to overpay Crabbe? Is the market crazy? Absofuckinglutely. Is Turner a better player than Crabbe? Without question. The one thing he doesn't do is shoot as well. Okay, we have plenty of shooting.

People can think independently and arrive at a different conclusion than you. In fact, it's you who needs your fruit rollup and Capri Sun.

Good one maxiep.

Guess we will see what you guys think of turner in a year after some of you have actually watched him play for the first time.

I've missed you.
 
The more I think about it, it's probably going to be a choice for Neil of Crabbe or one of Mo or Leonard. We basically can match his $2.75M cap hold plus the $8M in remaining cap before we have to start losing salary elsewhere. A ~$11M offer would consume more than that. It would also tie up enough cap space that we'd be short to be able to sign Turner. To think teams won't make that kind of toxic offer to hurt us is naïve.
 
So, just to be clear...

A) Turner signs for 4 years, $70MM: WORST DEAL EVER!!! WE GOT HOSED!!!

B) Crabbe supposedly signs an offer sheet for 4 years, $70MM with the Nets: WHAT A STEAL!!! WE GOT HOSED!!!

Good Lord.

I was hoping we might be able to sign Turner, use the remaining cap space, and have the option to resign the three young RFAs.

Both are terrible deals. But I'm still confused as to what the market rate really is. Shit's hitting the fan.

That being said.... From my perspective, I'd rather have Crabbe with the current roster than Turner.

Yeah, no. Thats not at all it.

Its about losing players that have value around the league for nothing. Both the turner and crabbe deal would be a little rich.

Crabbe is younger with more potential and played well for us last year.
