    Appears Jamal Crawford has been benched and isn't happy. He has athletic ability and offensive skills, but at this point not sure if he is more of a PG than Stevie. If we could give up Mooch and EG, for JC and change...

    I know another stupid dream (trade thread).

    If this is true, 2 of my fantasy teams are in trouble.

    Nice player but I wouldn't even let Kobe jack with this chemistry right now.

    Crawford is asking for 8M a year. If he's not happy coming off the bench, this isn't the place for him. We're really clicking.

    I don't want Crawford. Let's not mess up a good thing.

    Wow, his team sucks, he's accomplished absolutely nothing in the league, and he wants that much money? All he does is shoot from the outside. no thanks.

    Really good post AB, but just out of snotty curosity, would you let Pike and AG come on board?:D

    More seriously, Eddie and/or MoT?

    Something tells me the guy is not a bad player, but he is a guy who might create trouble in the locker room.

    Crawford isn't a true PG but is a better passer than Francis. If he passes the ball better with time I think the Bulls might keep him otherwise he might be traded.

    I would do it, but I wouldn't give up any of these guys:

    Cato
    Yao
    Francis
    Mobley


    The problem is, they need a SG more thananything else, because Rose and Pippen are handling the PG duties.

    I'd be willing to do this MAYBE:

    Mobley
    Griffin
    Moochie

    for

    Crawford
    Fizer
    Baxter
    Eddie Robinson


    To me, the reason I'd do this is because Griff and Moochie are not affecting the outcome of our games, and we're looking great. Fizer and Baxter will play PF, then when Mo comes back, they'll compete for the backup position. They are both final year, making a COMBINED 3M. Eddie Robinson has an unfortunate contract, but I'd rather have his unfortunate contract than Moochie's. Crawford will play BIG minutes off the bench, while Steve and JJ start in the backcourt.

    Again though, I'd think over and over again about messing with this chemistry.
