I'd love Crawford here as long as it doesn't come at the expense of filling the gaping hole at PF. |

what hole at PF? you have Sweetney, KT & Nazr who can all potentially man that position...the only hole that exists is at C...Nazr is clearly not the defensive minded player we need at that position...we need a big, shotblocker to fill the lanes that is mobile...Deke can't get up & down the court anymore & can't guard anyone w/any type of ballhandling ability. |

Sweetney could easily start imho...i don't think there's any question he'd put up at least 11 & 8 type numbers if given starter's minutes if not more, which is basically what KT put up last year...KT should be a bench player imo, which is why i'm hoping they trade him for a legit option at C or in a sign & trade for JC, but that's not very likely unless the Bulls are going to get rid of Tyson Chandler in a trade someplace & want a veteran instead. |

I think we could get Chandler, but the price may be a little bit too steep. |

I don't think that there's any way we could get Chandler. He's a young and athletic big man with good potential. This team doesn't have any real trading chips to be able to pull a move like that. Unless you're gonna give up Marbury.... I don't like us going after Crawford too much. I think that Isaiah has fallen in love with athletic point/shooting guards and sees himself in Marbury and maybe Jamal Crawford as a more athletic Joe Dumars. Where would Crawford play? He averaged 17 ppg on 39% shooting last season. That tells me a few things. (1) He has poor shot selection and likes to jack up (2) seems a little selfish (3) he would whine if he weren't a starter here. He's not good enough to bench Allan Houston for and he'd be forced to come off the bench. He's too good a player to have coming off the bench and I think that he'd be coming here with an ego and chip on his shoulder. I like his athletism, but unless he's a lockdown defender, he's not what we need. With Houston healthy (we hope), Marbury, and Thomas, we have enough shooters. We need a defensive stopper and/or an athletic big man who can add toughness and play some defense. Crawford looks like a sexy signing, but I don't think he's what's best for us. |
