Craw would be stupid to turn down the extra 5 mill. On the downside of his career you have to take all the money you can. And dont bring up endorsements lol.

Might as well go to NY for 5 mil /2 years. NY > Indiana

I'm sure he can earn extra money from doing something productive in NY.

Indy's assembling quite the team. And, umm, no way in hell JC leaves $5 million on the table.

Hibbert
West/Hansboro
Granger
Crawford
Collison

I look for them to compete right below the Knicks in that secondary echelon of Eastern Conference teams behind Chicago, Miami, Boston and arguably Orlando.

Indiana will be the new Atlanta. Just not there condending wise.

Why would he leave 2.5 more this season and a guaranteed 5 mil next year on the table? This is the best deal I've heard for him this offseason, and if he wanted to he could opt out after this season for a bigger deal. Dude is 31, so it's not like he has alot paydays in his future. Not to mention that Indy is looking good right now.

And what are these productive things he could do in NY?

exactly. People assume just because you play in NY, companies will be falling over themselves to give out endorsements. And when did Crawford become this charismatic and photogenic person?

Oj Mayo did not get traded to Indy. Trade fell through

People also don't understand that $5mil is a lot of money even for millionaires.

Send Larry Bird a gift-basket for saving our GM's from themselves. Jamal over Purp woulda been awful.
