Trail Blazers waited until final day to "punish" the Nets on Crabbe offer sheet

Trail Blazers GM Neil Olshey said Friday he and Blazers ownership deliberately waited until the third and final day of the matching period on Allen Crabbe to "punish" the Nets. Reading between the lines, it appears that Portland knew it would match on Crabbe, but held off until just before the end of the three-day deadline to inform the Nets ... and Crabbe.

As reported by SB Nation's Blazers Edge...

"It was definitely a stressful free agency, not for the fact that we got the contract but not knowing where I was going to be," Crabbe said.
