Some sort of a Crab is coming to Portland

per the twitters.

What does that mean?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Allen Crabbe is heading to Portland. Pick traded by Cleveland.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I wonder if he runs down the court sideways?

 

[Chuck Taylor]

We got crabbes!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Cleveland gets a pair of future 2nd-rounders from Portland for the 31st pick.

I was hoping the Blazers would trade the second rounder's for Gobert. I guess not.

 

[PapaG]

Cleveland gets a pair of future 2nd-rounders from Portland for the 31st pick.

So the Blazers still have three more picks in the 2nd? More trades on the way is my guess...

Also, did Cleveland get LMA for Bennett/Russian?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Woo-hoo! But now we have a bazillion SGs and one player who can play PG, but played a bunch of SG last season too. Wonder how Will Barton feels right now.
Like McCollum: he's probably the best player left, but Withey would probably have been more useful.

The Blazers got Crabbes in Cleveland.

Thoughts on crabbe

[santeesioux]

I guess Elliot isn't coming back?

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

I smell a trade....

 

[BBert]

A new meaning to the Crabbe dribble.

The Blazers got Crabbes in Cleveland.

Been there. Done that. Tough night on The Flats.

Matthews is surely traded this summer. Almost an 80% chance

Well, we know more than that about him. He can shoot.

 

[Tortimer]

He is the best player available after about the first 25 players drafted or so. I think we got a steal but not sure we need anymore guards. He is a scorer/shooter and can create his own shot.

https://twitter.com/ChrisBHaynes/status/350449751436705794 Allen Crabbe is deadly shooter who was projected to be taken in the first round. That's a good steal for #Blazers at No. 31. No guaranteed $

Ya, that kinda makes sense. I like Wes more than most people, oh well.

Most likely involving Wes for a veteran front-court player.
