Top PG Options are..................

[lush23]

1. MO Williams- Bucks- Can flat out shoot the basketball from long range. Continues to develop PG skills. Possible trade bait for the Bucks.

2. Marcus Banks- Min.- Free-agent who can really run. Played well down the stretch last year after trade from Boston.

3. Jamal Crawford- Knicks- Has PG skills and is tall and long. Crowded backcourt in NY. Easily could be had as a sign & trade for Al.

[sturt]

The stated criteria are (a) size, (b) mobility, and © experience.

I would venture that only one of the three you've named above meets those factors adequately.

[BusBoyIsBack]

Keep Banks dump the rest and add Speedy Claxton.

What do you guys think of Tinsley?

[DrReality]

Oddly enough, I saw an article from NY paper that said the Knicks owner took the check book away from Isaiah! That's a switch. But Al for Crawford would be a pretty close swap on salaries.

[DrReality]

What happened with Jeff McGinnis. He got into hot water at NJ. Anyone know why. Is he an option or a has been.

[DrReality]

What about Marko Jaric? he's big, and the espn article said that Minny might be one of the teams interested in a deal with Al?

[sturt]

The word on McGinnis is that he put on about 20 lbs while re-habbing, and as a result, there's some in NJ who doubt he has the motivation to get back to where he was.

[sturt]

Jaric appears to be available. When you read about him, it sounds like Min has gotten frustrated with him about the same way that we got frustrated with Diaw. He just never asserted once and for all his role and position on the team.

[jezmund]

No defense and a big contract. Just say no to Jaric.

[sturt]

...at least where Atlanta is concerned. It's an exact fit for what BK/MW are looking for, it's almost an exact fit in terms of trading Al's scoring for Crawford's, and according to others here, it's a fit where salary slot is concerned.

None of us can speak for Isiah or for Al's agent, so perhaps it doesn't go down, but if you had to bet on one horse, it would seem to be this one makes the most sense.

I dont like Crawford at all, I hope we get someone else but I can easily see this happening.

We are talking about the Knicks here. Doing things that make sense; makes no sense at all.

What does Crawford make now? I am sure it is a good bit.

[sinctybldh]

We better get more then Crawford for Harrington. Harrington is a much better player.

Probably a bad contract with Crawford. Think about it; do they have any good contracts? I do not think Isiah will be allowed to give up anymore draft picks after this years fiasco. Getting rid of salary will probably be allowed.

[sinctybldh]

I am talking Crawford and a future no 1 for Al. Anything less than that would just be a really bad trade.

As a Chicago fan let me offer you this advice - you don't want Jamal Crawford. Aside from Darius Miles and Eddy Curry, Jamal Crawford might be the dumbest basketball player in the NBA. And by dumb, I am referring to basketball IQ, which is a 0 for Crawford. He's been in the league 6 years now and the guy is still jacking up threes at the most inopportune times in every game he plays.

If anything about Isiah's handcuffed tenure is true, we can probably forget him being able to talk his owner into giving up another pick.

I know I would not listen to him after losing out on a lottery pick and not gaining a all-star caliber player.

[CBAreject]

Ack. Ick. Hurl.

I don't want any Knick not named Nate Robinson or Channing Frye. Zeke went out and signed a bunch of selfish backcourt players who shoot a lot and for a low percentage. Let's not bail him out by giving him some pretty good value in a scoring frontcourt player for one of his useless .39% shooting guards.

I might consider letting Al walk, rather than taking on Crawford's contract.

Speedy Claxton sucks. He doesn't do anything well...

Can't shoot, defend, pass. Oh wait... He can score if he shoots alot of shots.

[DrReality]

Crawford is under contract for five years. Starts at 7 mil and goes to 10. So he's in the ballpark of Al's salary.
