I heard the rumor as TT and KT for JYD, Crawford, and E-Rob. Talk about going into cap hell. what happens to Houston? I'd be under assumption that we'd be paying him $18 million to be the 6th man of a very mediocre team and we'd be paying about $41 million for our backcourt alone. And then who plays SF? E-Rob, Penny, Shandon, Dermarr? This move doesn't add up. Then again that makes it all the move likely that the Knicks will do it. :unsure: |

I heard they might trade Shandon as well to get the junk players. I also heard about a 3 guard starting rotation like the old Detroit days with maybe Sweetney at PF and Mohammed at C. If H2O gets injured, then Dermarr or Ariza plays the 3 |

I was thinking about that. Having a 3-guard lineup like Memphis has a 3 forwards. But Crawford is only 6'4" and we'd have another Sprewell situation with him being out of position and undersized. |

That's the problem. This deal would make more sense if the Knicks feel Houston will continue to miss time. That might be the case. I'd be all for it if Crawford was signing for the MLE, but now that his asking price has risen, and it has to be a sign-and-trade, I am not 100% thrilled with it. I don't like having to take on Chicago's trash contracts. It would be nice to move Shandon's absurd contract, but Eddie Robinson will be buried on the bench here. At least Junkyard Dog is a good rebounder. It's taking on 2 bad contracts to get rid of one bad one, while also giving them expiring contracts in Mutumbo and Othella. Lets say Houston is healthy though. He's not going to be play the 3. He's bad enough at defense, imagine he had to guard a small forwards all the time? He'd still be the shooting guard. Lets say he plays 30 minutes a game. It would be a good idea to limit his minutes as he gets older and more brittle anyway. Marbury will play 40-42 minutes a game. That doesn't give Crawford many minutes. Is he going to be happy playing around 20 minutes a game? Crawford isn't going to play anything other than the 2 guard positions. I doubt he'd play the 3. If Houston gets hurt though, it'll be great to slide him in there and have some scoring punch. We shall see. I don't love all of Isiah's moves, but at least he is able to make real moves, unlike that stiff Layden. |
