As much as I like Crawford, and how well he played in his hort stint in Dantoni's system...

I'd rather get a defender.

Bah I'd rather just have Douglas/Fields in the back court. Wouldn't mind Barea.

hahn is such a hack, he never breaks anything, just "confirms" the rumor, what a joke

If you are a real Knick fan wand want to see us win a title before you die, you would love this signing. That's all.

He's a Woodson guy, he's going to be on a winner, he's going to be a Sixth Man who can score 30ppg if he's hot. We are SCARY with him off the bench. Absolutely SCARY.

Not possible cap-wise.

Nobody is going to pay him 10 million regardless of where he plays.

why not? hes a top sg in the game. like him or hate him. he is. pretty sure he wanted atl to extend him starting at that 10 mils so i dont see that changing. def not to vet min. so anyone who doesnt like craw dont have to worry. we dont have the money or trade to do it.

If we actually flipped Balkman/Walker/Douglas for Crawford---and sign Barea, we would have a heck of a starting lineup, and having Fields, Shumpert off bench, IMHO is a nice option.

Well if you have Shumpert who can cover athletic 2's and Fields who can cover slower bigger two's we're covered there. What we don't have is someone on the perimeter who can get into the lane off the dribble.

a) he's not a top sg in the game
b) nobody is dumb enough to give him 10 million per year

Don't get me wrong...he'll get paid nicely, but 10 million is far too much.

I don't see a starting point guard...

Whatever you think about Crawford, he's a much better player than we have a right to be looking at for $2.5m at a position of need.

Why? He takes pride coming off the bench.
