Crawford is awful. He was decent in first few games at the start of the season but in his last 17 games he shoots 36% from the floor and 23% from three. I'd rather play Goodwin and Ish or sign Barbosa for the rest of the season.

I would take Crawford if we only had to pay a 2nd.
Like the Marcus Morris situation.
Who knows maybe Rockets-Celtics are or any combination but two teams but us are in trade talks with different players and they just need a 3rd team to shed some salary you see that all the time in trades.

I think there is two points to this trade rumor.
1) this is just a rumor and who knows where it came from. Writers tend to write stuff with no fact behind it.
2) no need to worry. No way Ryan mcd would give up an "asset" for Crawford. Got to give the guy credit. If there is a bargain bin guy like Crawford that's out there for a second round pick then sure. Again Ryan is not going to disrupt the future for a guy like Crawford.

So for everyone that dislikes crawford(me included), don't worry. I think we got so use to blanks screwing things up, we get scared that we are going to get screwed in a trade. Just got to remember blanks is gone.

Unfortunately all three of our guys suck incredibly from three this season, 11.5%, 5.9%, 14%, respectfully to that list.

He's never been quite the same since he was abducted by the aliens.

Barbosa is probably out tonight because he injured his shoulder against NYK.

Crawford and MarShon Brooks to GS. Not sure what for yet.

Make that Toney Douglas to the Heat and Joel Anthony to Boston.

Good for everybody, above all the Warriors.

What would it take to get Montiejunas?

Also good for the suns to stay out of the trade. So everyone wins.

They can have Marcus back

Realistically I would think the indi pick would probably be the price.

Anything more than a second round pick for DMo should be out of question.

INFORMER-93 · Post #977 » by **INFORMER-93** » Wed Jan 15, 2014 6:56 pm

Agreed. I like the potential, but he hasn't been able to play D and he's shooting 35%. You're not getting a first rounder for that. When the Rockets trade Marcus Morris, he was playing better than that, and all they could get is a 2nd rounder.

Ryu · Post #978 » by **Ryu** » Thu Jan 16, 2014 1:52 pm

Donatas Motieunas is not the kind of player you can win with. He would probably have nice stats on some terrible team but his lack of defense and terrible rebounding is not what I want from my power forward. Andrea Bargnani pt.2.

INFORMER-93 · Post #979 » by **INFORMER-93** » Thu Jan 16, 2014 6:27 pm

I think you're getting a little ahead of yourself. I think there is a good chance Motiejunas isn't a finished product and can get remarkably better. And you say a team can't win with him like someone's planning to amke him a franchise cornerstone, which is hardly the case.

Ryu · Post #980 » by **Ryu** » Thu Jan 16, 2014 11:42 pm

My point is you cannot be a contender with a starting PF who doesn`t play defense, has no motor and isn`t interested in rebounding. If you see him just as a rotation player then my bad.

He isn`t a finished product, sure, but he can hardly be a new Nowitzki or something.

I`d rather have a PF like Adriean Payne on my team, for instance.
