NFT: Nets getting Crabbe from Portland?

John from Atlanta : 7/25/2017 2:51 pm
Anyone else seeing it?
yup for nicholson

so they send away 3 yrs of dead money of a bad player and net take in about 11m a year for a guy they wanted.

for what the plan is this is a good deal for the nets and great savings for the blazers --- who may not be done.

now the nets look like

guards- Lin, DLo, whitehead, dinwiddie, harris, kilpatrick, Goodwin

forwards- crabbe, carrol, RHJ Acy

Bigs- Booker, Moz, J Allen

young and athletic

I am thinking nets are gonna trade lin.
Seems more likely they'd get rid of 1 of the extra wings  
Eric on Li : 7/25/2017 3:46 pm : link
since Crabbe isn't a ballhandler and they need at least 1 more big guy (even if it's a 1 year deal for someone like Sullinger).

Lin, Russell, and Levert will likely be the main ball handlers. Dinwiddie and Whitehead will get some minutes too.
Crabbe, Carroll, RHJ will probably get the majority of minutes on the wing. Kilpatrick and Harris may get some minutes.
Booker, Mozgov, Allen are the only bigs on the roster but I'd expect them to add someone else to this rotation.

Sure beats the squad that started Randy Foye most of last year.

True good point. What Marks has done this offseason was amazing.
i found the team enjoyable to watch  
hitdog42 : 7/25/2017 3:56 pm : link
for the most part last year- with the new motion offense and always playing hard.
this year should improve on that, and the win total.
Yeah Marks really did great  
Eric on Li : 7/25/2017 4:03 pm : link
who knows what will happen but he turned Lopez, Bogdonovic, and Thad Young into a group of young guys that have upside. Obviously Russell is the headliner, but Levert, Allen and Crabbe all have starter upside. Other than Russell, his biggest win this offseason was adding the picks from Toronto next year and it wouldn't shock me if they continue adding picks at the deadline again next year. That's when I could see him moving Lin.

The 7th and 8th seed in the east should stink this year. The nets have a shot at those and thus depriving Boston of a lottery pick. Im pumped.

Lin and Levert being healthy for the majority of the season should get them over 30 wins. I expect them to be competitive with the bottom tier of the East (Hawks, Magic, Pacers, Bulls).
Terrific Work by Marks Once Again  
looie : 7/25/2017 9:13 pm : link
What he's been able to do while hamstrung by the draft situation is truly remarkable. Now Atkinson has a very interesting mix to work with. Barring serious injuries, this is at least a 35-win team next year, and headed upward.
How many wins do we think  
JayBinQueens : 7/25/2017 9:46 pm : link
It'll take to get the 8 seed, +/- 42?

More than this squad can put together, IMO. It's a good goal, but I think they get about 30-35. Very excited to watch the young guys play together, hopefully they can get something out of Carroll, but I think he's going to disappoint those fans expecting the 2015 Hawks version.
Carroll vs. Crabbe vs. Levert  
Eric on Li : 7/25/2017 11:05 pm : link
is going to be a good competition.
