I can't wait to see which team rebels against all this new money and says fuck it and goes moneyball.
 
Absolutely not. I think he's an overrated defender by a lot of people on here and I don't think he'll get much better on offense. I'd love to keep him for a decent price, but definitely not a max contract.
 
I don't know, a part of me thinks this is like giving Harrison Barnes the max and we could use Barnes more.
 
Definitely not, anything over $10M and we should think twice. His max is over $20M, right? Nobody should offer that but with so many teams having cap space you never know. Portland should definitely not offer him that though.

I like him. He's a good shooter and good to have as rotation player but you are talking star level salary here and he isn't star level at all.

This is my worry about this Summer. Too many teams having money and few players available.
 
I'd match it and go over. That said the NBA needs to rewrite contract rules for how much a player can get paid...these players are starting to get way to damned much...I mean Biyombo a max, please!

This was inevitable when they raised the cap. When everyone has money, the players get paid more. It's like the housing market in Portland right now. There's no inventory, so when a house goes up for sale, there's 15+ people bidding against each other. People tend to get 10-15k above their asking (at least).

I don't think you are alone on that opinion. It seems inevitable that fans will get pissed in the next couple of years over the increase in contracts for average players. Unfortunately we will take it out on the players, and quite frankly it won't be their fault.

As TV deals go up, ticket prices should go down before contracts go up. But it never works that way. The one constant is the owners keep getting richer.

Yup... it's not the players fault. Honestly, it's a miracle that contracts have stayed this low for this long. Shaq and KG signed those 120+ contracts back in the mid 90's. The owners have kept the contracts manageable for close to 20 years, meanwhile the teams are skyrocketing in value. This was only fair.

It's still ridiculous
 
Unless he perfectly fits our long term plans then losing people is the name of the game. If we don't have a plan for our identity going forward, then we're not going to succeed either way.
 
If it between 10-12 million I would consider it but anything higher I would let him go. It really don't matter how high the cap is if you don't want to go over luxury tax signing your own people after you try to sign other FA. Do I think all the RFA we own get sign no.
 
I see Crabbe or Leonard in LA for the lakers. After they get whiteside they need shooters on the bench and they can afford to overpay since all their talent is on rookie deals

and they are getting whiteside because? assumptions. I don't think Crabbe is going anywhere
 
With the weak talent pool combined with the huge bump in cap....

In any other era Crabbe is a MLE guy.
 
Y'all are overestimating his value. It doesn't matter what his max is, he isn't getting it from us or anybody else in the league. 3 and D guys are sought after in situations when you can get multiple of them for cheap so that everyone who touches the ball can hit a three or make the extra pass. It makes no sense even for these moneyball guys to pay max dollar for a slightly above average one in Crabbe when the dude wasn't even consistent in the large quantity of minutes he was given this season. Yes there were days where he looked like a poor man's Klay. But don't forget the days we were ripping him for being timid and worthless on the court.

The reason Danny Green got decent money was because he had multiple years of being one of the most reliable 3pt shooters in the league and had clutch performances in the playoffs.
 
I think the Lakers want Westbrook next year, so if they can't get the top players they want this year, I don't think they will throw money at our free agents, or any other average player. They need a star to go with those young players.

I bet they think a Whiteside, Clarkson, Ingram, Randle starting 4 can entice Westbrook to join. Personally I think they will still need need a SG, but regardless i think they will be wise with their Cap space. I don't think they would over pay for Crabbe

If a team like the Knicks tossed a max deal at Crabbe - would you match?

I would. Even if we consider it to be too expensive for a bench player, you could turn around and trade him. He's still an asset. We can't afford to let him walk for nothing.

Oh my god dude, are you drunk right now? A max offer for Allen Crabbe? Scratch your name of the list of potential GMs to replace Olshey.
 
Not a chance we'd match a max offer for Crabbe. That would be the easiest question for Olshey all summer.
 
How about a sign-and-trade? Is that something we should be seeking?

Crabbe to Philly for Okafor?
 
Would I match a Max $22M contract offer for Crabbe? No.

I would only go up to about $16M/yr. Even matching this probably precludes re-signing Leonard too. We will be paying McCollum $22 next summer folks. Or trading him. There's little room in between.

Sign Whiteside or Biyombo to large contracts this summer. Re-sign Crabbe (14) and Harkless (9) and hopefully Leonard (14). That's max for these guys UNLESS we strike out with major FA. Then, resign them and plan to trade them later.
