How so? The team would be much better with AKs defense, rebounding, passing and ability to finish around the rim, they move up in the draft, can't say Thomas is better than Wright... the only thing I wouldn't like is Crawford but I HATE Crawford.

First due to contract- AK is negative value, due to contract and general suckeness Crawford is double negative value. Thomas is clearly better than Wright, I dont know who could say otherwise. JJ's expiring contract is also valuable and moving up in a draft as weak as this one is not enough. Chicago could put together a similar package for Amare/Bosh they wont due a trade for AK/Crawford.
