I think it's prettty clear that he either will be traded or he won't.

Everybody keeps saying Craw is coachable and from what I've read he does seem to have a good attitude. But on the other hand I just don't think he knows how to play the game and for all his "coachability" - I don't think he's improving very quickly.

Larry problably will start Crawford at SG so that Steph can play SG at times. I hope it works out and Larry turns Crawford into a disciplined player who plays defense and knows when to shoot and better his FG%

I would hope so too, but again, my beef with some of you is that you fail to realize Crawford's strengths as a player, and that's his ability handle the ball and distribute. He needs to have more freedom in order to do what he does best, and Larry will never give him the green light.

Also, it's really getting ridiculous how some of you are saying, "Larry Brown's here. He's gonna magically change Crawford into a 50 % FG shooter, 0 turnover, defensive machine. ???? THAT'S NOT WHAT HE DOES. Larry comes in, takes over, preaches, teaches, and kicks ass. And whoever's left standing will be better for it. He makes YOU improve YOURSELF, not the other way around. He's not doing the fixing, the players are. They don't have a choice. They adjust their game or they don't play.

And my last point - Some of you argue that Crawford showed streches toward the end of the year where he played more under control and shot better. Don't all "Potential" players show flashes of playing up to their abilitiy? Kwame, Darius, Gooden,..... the list goes on and on. Again, am I questioning Crawford's talent level? Nope. Am I questioning his ability as a player to grow and adapt.....yup.

it's fine to question but not to assume it's been answered.

let's find out and until we do he's a potentially great asset and it wouldn't be wise to prematurely jettison him for a lesser talent.
