Less risk than giving Alan Crabbe $70mm an hoping he becomes an NBA starter because now you are paying him too? Less risk than that?
I have to hope hes already as good as Courtney Lee? Well I wouldve rather paid more for the youth and size. I dont think he needs to prove hes better than Courtney Lee-just go back and look at the playoffs--hes better than Lee today. The 6 years younger represents how much better??
So you would pay another $40mm because Crabbe is an inch taller? Because he's NOT better than Lee by any measure. Oh by the way.. I just looked at the playoffs and he's still not a better player.
And Portland.. a team with Lilliard and McCollum, so they give huge money to Evan Turner rather than pay Crabbe. Maybe they weren't watching the playoffs either?
Your obsession with mediocre guys is nothing new... Rodney White, Shareef Adbul Rahim, Anthony Randolph... we can kind of do this all day.
I do get your logic Briggs... paying for a young up and coming guy, but you are just wrong on this guy. Maybe when he's scoring 15ppg a game en route to a 15 win season in NJ you can rub this in my face. Im sure you will post every night he's got a good shooting line.
Also his first 3 years in the league Lee was just as good a shooter as Crabbe.
I know you assume anyone that doesn't agree with you doesn't watch basketball or has been napping, but sorry dude. Crabbe is just another stupid NBA overpay. If think his playoff series justifies that you were did not watch Jerome James totally shred the Kings in the playoffs. THAT was a great performance.
