The super Melo to Portland thread + The Big Blockbuster

[Nikolokolus]

Do they talk about the rumored deal, or are you just doing normal BGD type stuff?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Because we matched BRK's offer sheet to retain Crabbe, he automatically had a no trade clause that allowed him to veto any trade to any team (not just BRK) for 1 year from the date of the BRK offer.

It wasn't built into the offer sheet (like the 15% trade kicker). It's part of the CBA and applies to any RFA whose team matches an offer sheet from another team.

I think it's actually against the rules to trade him to BRK for a year. Then the no trade clause to all other teams

 

[Boob-No-More]

Any particular reason you posted that in this thread? What does Monty Williams have to do with any potential POR/HOU/NYK trade?

BNM

 

[Schilly]

Only if he is sent to Brooklyn. Crabbe can be traded to any one of the other 28 teams today.

For 1 year from the date the Offer is matched Crabbe has a no-trade clause and would have to approve the destination before he can be moved.

Yep. You can't trade him to the team you matched and he can veto a trade to any of the other 28 teams. Both restrictions are for 1 year from the date of the offer. July 8, in this case. So, as I originally stated, we are now free to trade Allen Crabbe to any team that will take him.

Because he's untradeable, or untouchable?

One of the Knicks forum had a rumor that they'd get Turner + Harkless + 1st (from Houston).
If that's the case, I'd be OK with this trade:

I would be ok with a trade like this.

I'll give you one guess . . .

 

[Chris Craig]

I wish this trade would just get done whether it involves the Blazers or not.

It's Schroedinger's trade. It's both bad and good until the trade collapses.

Because if Harkless goes, he is first in line to replace him in the starting lineup.

Funny.

I disagree that it's a good trade though.

Beep, boop, beep! Bot, malfunction!

This kind of joke is too highbrow for a place like this. I mean a freakin' dog moderates the place.

Oh god no!!!! A starting line up of Dame, C.J., Crabbe and Ryan Anderson would be the worst defense in the league, and it wouldn't be close. If this trade goes through, I'd start either Turner or Aminu ahead of Crabbe at SF.

I didn't know Schroedinger had a dog. I thought he was more of a cat person.

Agreed. And some scenarios have us getting Ariza, in which case the pecking order at SF is:

Ariza / Turner / Aminu [gag!] / Crabbe

You're thinking of Pavlov

That's just because Sly is always drooling.

Yeah, but if you do not read the forum - do you know if he is alive or dead?

What? This is a forum full of nerds bro.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I really don't want Harkless to be traded.

He's finally turning into an Ariza-like 3-D wing - who should be our staring SF for the next decade.

The only way I would support a Harkless trade is if the coaches routinely tell him to shoot more and he just doesn't. He's a great player, but he seems to hold himself back. Maybe he is just too nice, or whatever, but to get to his potential, he needs to shoot the ball more and be more aggressive going to the hoop. If they coaches don't think he will ever do that then they should trade him.

Do you know where you are at? Yes, this forum is moderated by a dog who may not be trained very well. Damn ive got to create an alternate account under the name pavlov. But, we are all nerds here.

 

[Eastoff]

Funny.

I disagree that it's a good trade though.

It's meant that we don't really know the details of the trade therefore it might be good or it might be bad.

 

[ripcityboy]

If it doesn't happen by tonight than I say Melo got cold feet. Or one team can come to an agreement on players involved. No trades take this long unless somebody is dragging their feet.

I'm sure NO is demanding a pick back if we're taking Anderson.

 

[chzbrgr]

Every time this thread pops to the top I have a mini heart attack that we might have just traded Moe Harkless for another huge long term contract.

 

[Trackjack]

I am predicting it is us that holding up this trade if we are the 3rd team. It might be someone taking Leonard might be the hold up.
