SETH Curry to Portland

[Strenuus]

Stauskas is the new Allan Crabbe...shoot threes.

Fuck, we're gonna overpay him too?!

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Hey, the Seth Curry ain’t a bad get, by any means. But it’s pointless without further moves.

 

[riverman]

I don't sweat the bank account of gazillionaire Paul Allen...ever...he'll spend Crabbe money on a part for his submarine

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Or “crab money” after destroying part of a reef with his yacht....

But at least he'd get consistent use out of that.

probably break again and just have to pay to fix it again.....his sub is named "The Oden"

His submarine is named "Olshey's Plan".

no...that's the 12 ft dinghy tied up at the dock

Ah, the douche canoe out back.

Are we able to retain Curry if he has a big year or are we screwed because of the cap? Anyone know? Isn’t this a terrible signing without birds rights? Either he plays bad or he plays good and we don’t have cap room to retain... lose lose right?

I think it's 2 year player option 2nd year

 

[Gronk Brady]

Yes, but if he has a big year he will obviously opt out... my question is, can we go over the cap to retain him or are we screwed?

 

[Scalma]

Clips of curry roasting Portland. This is going to be a good pickup if he’s healthy. Also notice how he’s pretty similar to C.J. both in size and game.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

We can give him all of our tax payer MLE next year or the year after but no more I believe So depends on how big of a year you are talking.

 

[BonesJones]

We'll have non bird rights, which means wee could resign him for 3.3M (120%) or we could use an exception on him.

 

[Gronk Brady]

We'll have non bird rights, which means wee could resign him for 3.3M (120%) or we could use an exception on him.

So basically if he has a big year he is gone... like if we traded CJ and he became our starter and averaged say 15 ppg and 44% 3pt he will leave for more money... seems like a pointless signing without a 2nd year as a team option

That sucks.

 

[BBert]

What exception?

 

[BonesJones]

What exception?

MLE

 

[e_blazer]

What exception?

If he plays the second year of this contract, the Early Bird exception would allow giving him a new contract starting at 105% of the average salary (around $9M).

 

[Sarni]

I honestly don’t hate this move. Stauskas was a poor acquisition even at veteran minimum because he’s honestly not going to be of any real value to us IMO but Curry’s shooting should be helpful off the bench. We needed this.

The issue is that it’s really just a one year deal if he does well which has been pointed out.

 

[H.C.]

Jesus christ you're never happy.
Portland signs Stauskas.
You freak out because he's yet to shown to be an nba role player. Instead he's looking to ressurect his career.
Portland signs Curry.
You try to paint it as a lose, lose situation.

I bet if Portland were to have signed LBJ, PG13 or trade for Kawhi. You'd find a way to say it was a shit move also.
The sad part is, you don't even realize how toxic you're being with your posts.

Must be nice being you.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

IF healthy he's a great addition to the bench.

 

[theprunetang]

I like that some people think we should give up serious assets, including CJ, for Kawhi, with the assumption that the culture here would make him resign instead of leaving for LA. The same people think the culture has no way to keep Seth "Not Steph" Curry after a year.

It is one way or the other. You don't get to bitch about one and cheer on the other. Pick.

It would be a huge risk kind of like what okc did last year. They swung for the fences and PG signed a long term deal with them luckily even after everybody thought for sure he would go to LA this season. Obviously we weren’t gonna win a title this year or next but I wish Neil made some moves that would at least help dame in the future for when the warriors are on the downhill. I hope that simons and Trent turn out pretty well. They have a lot of upside.

So you wish Olshey would make moves for the future but he drafts two guys that you admit have a lot of upside after drafting another guy with upside last year? I swear people don't even think about what they type.

I’m thinking quite clearly and guess what? We have no assets. None. Nothing to really work with unless you want to attach picks. Simons and Trent could work out. They could both be busts. Neil had all this talk about assets for years and he’s let two of them go for nothing in crabbe and Davis. Turner isn’t an asset. Meyers isn’t an asset. Neil does not want to get rid of cj.

 

[DollaBel]

Seth is pretty good, I’m happy with this. People desperately asked for a lights-out shooter of the bench and he is exactly that, hope he is healthy.

How was Crabbe an asset? It's a miracle he found a buyer for him.
