Knicks emerge as front runners for Jamal Crawford?

2 for 10 to Portland sounds like a lock.

Jamal did you have to draw it out and get our hopes up...? Not cool.

The fact that he hasn't reject the Knick offer a long time ago has given me new found respect for Jamal.

If he signs (which obviously is an incredibly long shot), every Knick fan should send the man $10 lol. That would more than make up the lost money.

So one report says Portland is offering a one year deal and the other says two years?

2 years, player opt out after one.

At this point reporters are just throwing crap out there since there is no other story besides cp3. But I do believe all this crawford stuff will end tomorrow.

Confirmation Jamal Crawford's agent Andy Miller just said by text that Wolves are no longer in the running for his client.

Come on Jamal, just take the money, get it over with.

Unless there's some creative cap maneuvering I don't understand, I'd be totally stunned if he took less money to become a Knick.

Gotta be the Blazers.

But without the douchebaggery and tv special.

Is he a guy with legit interest in returning to Knicks or just another one of hundreds of players who use the Knicks to drive their price up.

Crawford has a home out west (Seattle) -- seems rather ominous that he started showing interest in us the past few days -- when Portland was still in the game.

We'll see -- would love him for the $2.5M but have a feeling we are being used.

Hope not --------

You would think his agent would have mentioned the Knicks are out of it if that was the case. I'm sure his thinking is like this:

I can play with the Knicks with superstars, get good playing time, be relevant and ring chase

or

I can go and make double the money in an awful city.

this. i mean honestly if he wants a 1 year deal to opt out and hit the market again is $2.5mil and $5mil really that big of a deal? he could put up some pretty big numbers here and possibly contend for a ring.

I think you're confusing Portland with OKC
