at 17 mill for the next two years still needs a pick attached to it. Definitely same with Crabbe. Your only going to be so good with the talent you do have now. What are the odds you pick 3 guys who will be long time contributors? Very rare. Make the moves that will, in the next year or two, put yourself in a position to be competitive

Is a good basketball player.
Worth Meyers Leonard salary.

Even Evan Turner thought his contract was dumb

Pull him now. For the love of…

He’s your guy. He can play his man even when he guards the same players Crabbe was guarding. He is also a lot closer to "0% 3 point shooting" than Crabbe.

is not a valuable asset for any organization. Nor does he have anything to offer that a team cant find elsewhere for cheaper. Mix that in with his contract and you have a player who has negative trade value for the foreseeable future. Any Value Zach adds would be negated.

Look at the Russell and Mozgov trade. They got back Brook and a late 1st however Zach has no where close the amount of valueDARhas. So following this trade, maybe Portland would be able to get back an older expiring vet who is on the downside of his career. Hardly a needle mover.

… is not ready to play yet. He cost the Blazers more than a few possessions and doesn’t look anywhere near 100%. With the Blazers looking as hot as they have since theASB, Turner has become a liability that’s bringing them back down to mediocrity.

Should never be allowed to shoot. Only pass.
