TMac/Rad/Stack > Crawford

it looks like the plan of loading the bench with ultra (old) vet players is looking okay so far.

Locker room chemistry is the main reason Jerry Stackhouse is here. I think it's a good idea to keep him on the team for the rest of the season considering how poor our team chemistry has been over the years.

Some Atlanta fans seemed to have high expectations considering very little was available this off-season. T-Mac and Rad are two players I am content with. Especially Rad at the minimum.

Given the thread title I feel I need to say that Crawford is an unique NBA talent who can score against almost anyone and individually hard to replace. That's it though. No D, little creation for others. The problem was how Drew used him as backup PG which reduced the 2nd unit to Jamal and put backs. The more balanced lineup with Pargo as backup point (even if he had trouble with pressure) and vets like McGrady and Radmanovic looks like it has the potential to be an actual unit which is a good thing. I agree with your assessment that a full bench might be better than just a 6th man especially if he was going to be misused.

If Stackhouse is helping locker room chemistry then I second the motion to keep him around. It's important that the players get along.

I hope they can keep it up like the Bulls bench mob

It's much better

And our predicted demise by all the haters in the media is even more wrong than when they predicted our demise when we lost Josh Childress

Hawks have one of the deepest benches I've ever seen them have. In fact I've never seen us have a better bench

Great pickups. Crawford was a ball stopper that didn't fit our motion offense like other guys

Sure he could get hot, but he killed momentum for other players, couldn't play D, etc like someone already pointed out
