I'm a bit stunned and bewildered.

Let's go for and hopefully no injuries to our starters since we have no depth

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.

ahhhhhh i meant to say top free agent sg in the game.

That I can agree with.

I wouldn't mind Crawful errrr I mean Crawford coming back. Melo and Stat would never let him be the #1 option and a chucker.

Ya'll realize Crawford is one of the worst defenders in the entire NBA, right?

But I thought Chandler takes care of the defense? And Bibby's worse...

Crawford is a huge insurance policy in case Melo/Amare have to mis games and we lose production. He can step in and score.

This is a good signing if we can do it. No reason to hold Crawford to what was a rebuilding season with a bunch of stat stuffing players. He wants to win, hence why he was talking to the Bulls.

I actually wouldn't mind it so much if we had a real point guard. I don't want Crawful as our primary ball-handler.

And if we don't play Crawford, we'll be playing Bibby, who happens to be even worse.

He'd be a very good sixth man for us, but we'd have no dollars for Purp.

Lol

How do we have a board full of people trying to convince themselves that TD can be our starting PG turning up their nose at Jamal Crawford?

Crawford at 2.5 mil/season is a steal.
