Sto and Craw are not quite busts, but sometimes you have to move on and throw in the towel on a player for a certain amount of money. Craw has his Flaw's and to pay a guy 30 mil or more whom your not going to start over a rookie gordan is a big message. Craw can get good minutes at either guard spot in NY and start when h20 is out and eventually replace him.

The dynamics of him and Marbs would be fun to watch.

either way, once he is not playing for a contract he can calm down and play real ball.

Grizz are similar, pay 30mil plus for dumb athletic Stro?
At least he is young, paying Damp for 6 years is crazy. every year there is one player whom jsut gets screwed. Stephen Jackson last year, Kandiman also was over estimating his pay.

But that MLE is not chump change at it raises our number even higher. Just cuz we have it does not mean we use it. Even Isiah does not have a blank check.

what West was hoping (and has been hoping) to do is package 2-3 of his good players in Miller, Swift, Wright, Posey, Battier, Wells or Williams for a star type player. He hasnt been able to do that and now he's hit with the decision on how much to pay these guys. With all those guys on the bubble I find it hard to believe West plans to keep them all. I'm sure he wants to keep an asset like Swift, but is that asset worth 40mm? To us... I think yes, to Mem I would say no.
