My personal belief is that this is basically their one chance at squeezing one more all-star caliber player into their cap space before Steph needs a new deal.  Using it on a role player would be a poor use of it IMO.  Crabbe and Fournier are fine and all, but at the $15+ million that guys like Crabbe likely get, I'd rather take a guy like DeRozan and just trade him later if he turns out to not fit in too well.  He certainly isn't the shooter that they'd love to have, but if they're going to be playing as much small ball as they do, they can probably afford to have a guy like DeRozan that isn't a good shooter, but is a very good scorer (and just hope that his improvements shooting the ball this year aren't a fluke).

If the plan is to blow the cap space on a guy like Crabbe or Fournier, they might as well just match the offers on Barnes instead IMO.  Despite how horrific he was in the Finals, I'd rather have him than Crabbe or Fournier.
