Some sort of a Crab is coming to Portland

[PapaG]

He’s a super athletic wing with NBA length and defensive abilities. He was very inconsistent at New Mexico, but I’m told numerous NBA teams love the talent. .”- Chad Ford

Good thing he went to Cal, then!

 

[santeesioux]

Steve Jobs approves

 

[3RA1N1AC]

So what the heck did we give up to get Crabbe?

2 future 2nds i heard?

but not in this draft? probably are, who knows/cares

 

[3RA1N1AC]

oh, 6'11+ wingspan

 

[OregonHuskerMan]

A little passive on the defensive end...

 

[OregonHuskerMan]

If we toss out a small lineup of

Damian
McCollum
Crabbe

Could shoot the lights out

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Wow, he kind of looks like Roy from the side -

[MickZagger]

I like Crabbe a lot. Sharpshooting guard.

This gluttony of 2 guards doesn't make sense to me though.

 

[santeesioux]

Wes will be traded for Gortat, heard it here first.

 

[crowTrobot]

Sounds like Martel Webster

and taken where Webster should have been

 

[MickZagger]

I guess were addressing those depth issues. Now we need big man depth. Muscala? We missed the boat on the Olynyk Clinic.

 

[ABM]

Hmmm...legit, or a crabbe-shoot?

 

[BBert]

So with adding McCollum and Crabbe, and the two big stiffs, we can trade Aldridge and Mathews, win 20 games, and clear lots of cap space.

Good plan.

If we're going to trade our best player, run the youngest team in the league, and lose all our games, we may as well be entertained.

There is going to be a trade this summer, but it won't involve LMA. Wes, the writing is on the wall...

 

[Nate Dogg]

Its official for Crabbe to Portland

 

[3RA1N1AC]

i like it, guy could have easily went in the 20s

 

[KeepOnRollin]

PG - Lillard
SG - McCollum | Matthews | Crabbe | Barton

I smell a trade....

McCollum can play backup PG just fine. You just wouldn't want him to have to start there.

Sounds like Martel Webster

One thing I noticed in his highlights is he plays with a bit of an attitude. Not the relentless fire kind of attitude, but the you can't stop me type. I don't think I've ever seen this from Martell. I think the tude is a good thing, especially for a shooter. I'm probably most excited about him of all the picks.

 

[jlprk]

Buster saved the Earth and he'll save the Blazers.

[Fez Hammersticks]

I just looked over at his combine and was surprised by his numbers.

Anyone else think he could eventually backup the three?

The SG position is very crowded and Crabbe has great size for a SF:

6'11" wingspan
8'8" reach

I am hoping so. Although he weighed in just under 200 lbs. I think Wes is a better fit there, but against some match ups I am sure we can use him.

In looking up his weight I saw that all three of our picks (That we kept) were projected in the first round per draft express. Not bad.

 

[KingSpeed]

As bad as our bench was last year, I don't think we can have "too many" shooters. This is a good thing.

BUUUMP, Nice behind the scenes video

Allen Crabbe gets buckets, #RipCity #summerleague

 

[MickZagger]

I think I'm one of the few on here that is as excited about acquiring Crabbe as anyone else we got this offseason. People will be surprised.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

With the shooters on this team LMA has no excuse to not play close to the basket. The paint is going to be wide open!

Lillard
McCollum
Batum
Crabbe
Wes

Olshey's arming Stott's with all the shooters he could dream of.

Absolutely!!!! I really really hope Aldridge plays mainly in the paint. If he dominates about 80% of his offense there; we will be top 3 in the west.
