Just read it one of the papers and then saw it on real GM.

Seriously. Anybody think about the impact this really has? The guys look for Craw to make something happen. He's a big part of the team and the future of the team.

I got my beef with craws game but I also understand that Craw is kind of a leader on this team. Everyone says Q cuz that's everyones pet. Nah man its Craw.

I don't think the knicks should trade Craw now. These guys are tight. Isiah has to be careful not to break it up. He's got to continue to get players that fit into the mold of these guys.

As might as well just admit that the roster is entirely f'd up if its a $130 mil roster that is entirely dependent on a poor defensive 39% shooter

it's tough, though. trading craw would break up whatever chemistry this team has... but that chemistry is only making us a sub-.500 team.

crawford's probably my favorite knick and i'd lvoe to keep him around. but just because he and steph and curry have chemistry doesn't mean it would necessarily be a bad thing to break it up to take us to another level.

i thought the point of all these comments from the team was that jamal's role on the team is more than just a shooter, the team counts on him for more than just that 39% of his Js...

Who says we're trading Jamal???? I do not think that's in the cards. I believe that JC will be a Knick when he comes back. I think alot of people undervalue him on the team. Maybe he is not the greatest defender or shoots at the highest clip, but he has won several games for us and he obviously is very-well liked in the locker room and has garnered a ton of respect from his teammates. DOLAN even made the trip to show support.

Sometimes guys bring intangibles and a forms of leadership that are not necessarily defined by percentages. Evidently, Jamal is a "silent" partner in making this team function. He is not as focused on like Marbury or Curry in the media. (oh and maybe if Isiah started JC all year, you'd all call him an over 40% shooter because when he starts, he shoots 42%).

I think that Crawford's injury is going to show his value to the TEAM. Not to you, as fans and what YOU think we should do, but in respect to the TEAM and ITS MEMBERS.

Hey isnt this something that's good? That someone like Steph feels so strongly about one of his teammates or that Curry (who is not going anywhere), whose best friend is Jamal, loves playing with the guy who gets him the ball the most and recognizes the chemistry he has with him. I don't think these are necessarily bad things. Maybe all the people that question Crawford's role can understand that he may actually bring something that's not statistically-based. Its not that difficult to understand.

I just think that if Jamal is that valued by his team, they should play hard for him (as motivation) and rally around this situation and get in to the playoffs so he can come back and play WITH them again.

I think you're missing the bigger picture. No well run organization would spend $130 mil and be in a position where they're this dependent on a player of Jamal Crawford's calibre.

Bonn, i don't think anyone here is under the illusion that this organization is well run.

Can we PLEASE stop with this 130 mil crap. You know full well that that number is inflated with players who aren't here anymore. The money that we're spending right now is irrelevent to the conversation. Steph and Jamal have been together the longest on this team. They share the backcourt. I find it funny that so many wanted to lable Steph as this guy that is aloof and doesn't care and no one on the team likes him. Well it turns out that most of that is GARBAGE! He busted his ass last night trying to help this team win. He was defending and trying to get everyone involved and then he tried to give us the scoring we need. WHAT THE HELL ESLE CAN HE DO? When are some of you gonna start to give the guy a freakin BREAK? I can guarantee you that if he had not suffered this Knee problem, he'd be even more effective and this team when healthy would be a LOT more potent.

I've never seen so many people who have such low regard for the players on the team that they supposedly love. Steph has shown a lot of passion for this team and wanting to help it win. He's upset that the teams chances of making it took a big hit and that doesn't catch your attention? That he felt so deeply about it that he broke down? Man I don't know what to say about this. I'm actually disappointed that there aren't more positive responses to this.

Would you like us to have a conversation about how many tears were shed? Please man.

Yes, I still believe Craw is a PG

ur one of the few around here that agrees w/me on that one... he's had 3 double digit assist games this season & he has a great chemistry w/Curry... if we made him the primary orchestrator i think he could do a good job, but as long as Marbury's here, that won't happen... for his part, i think Marbs has done a good job this season playing defense & team oriented ball, so i can't get on him too much, but i think Jamal could become a star if he were given that role on a full time basis.

Wow Marb cried. Obviously the guy cares about winning. Now maybe this can put to rest the theory that basketball is just a "hobby" to him.
