I remember the Cleveland cavs had two nice young PG's, in mark Price and Kevin Johnson, they had to make a choice because clearly neither was a back up PG or a SG. So they made the decision to keep the one best for their team and not necessarily the one with the most talent. So they kept price and traded KJ. We know the nice career price had in cleveland before the injuries and we know what KJ did in pheonix. Sometimes you have to trade the more talented player to have the player that best fits your team to play the position he needs to play. Is crawford the better fit for the knicks? that is the question...
yes, indeed.
let's follow BRIGGS' lead and say that Craw is a better fit. But what to do with Marbury? Whose gonna take him? Atlanta? for Al Harrington straight up? But that's not a fair trade and we don't really need a tweener who doesn't play much defense, do we? really, whose gonna take Marbury???
Are we going to play him at SG? Then what happens to Q-Rich? Back court starters of Craw/Marb/Q-Rich would be too weak defensively even though we've added shotblockers in JJ & Frye.
