LOL, not even our plan Z's are working out.

So, another Celtics meeting cancelled? :p

Now all the people who complained about him, will come to this thread to sing about how big of a loss this was.

That's why you target someone you can get and go after them hard.

4 year 30 million dollars? I'm glad the Celtics missed out.

Probably helps set the market for Crowder

another guy that people around here thought we'd be able to get as a 'cheap alternative.'  not a bad signing at all for portland, nice batum replacement.  decent priced for his skill set in this market.  good move.

Crowder will get at least $8 million per. Which is what I thought it would be, but I think this deal might mean it could go even higher. I don't know about that and how high I'm willing to go to keep him.

Tough choices for us it seems.

Of course, it's Al-Farouq Aminu.

Didn't really want this guy.  He got paid way too much.

I like this for Portland. He replaces Batum's defensive versatility at a cheaper price.

Not worried about what this means for Crowder and how paying him something similar could impact our current cap flexibility because I don't see us bringing in multiple highly paid stars without a trade anyways, and beyond this season the cap will rise.

Draft: 8 first rounders in next 5 years.

Restricted free agency might keep him lower, as teams might look at him as a second option, assuming C's will match.

I think the fact that Aminu is like the third deal announced after AD and Kahwi shows that Portland overshot the market a little.

I said in the other thread, but how is it possible that Aminu could agree to sign in Portland 30 minutes after free agency begins.  Can you make a decision like that in 30 minutes??  That's wild.
