if we end up giving up TT and KT, it will be at the likelihood that we might not make any playoffs, but again its not about next year to me unless something crazy happens.
i agree. even if we give up a big man and actually take a step back this season (which i don't think will happen), we're still better off in the long run. but the problem is briggs, 95% of the people out there, on these boards, on the streets, and in the papers, would KILL isiah if the knicks win fewer games next season.
from another board, a pretty intelligent bulls fan said that the bulls really need a backup C or a SF more than anything else and they don't really need KT. they all love jyd so they're more likely to move erob. if that's true, then i would try to move nazr + othella/deke for crawford and erob. i would even include frank if they insisted. very simple. if we have to take on BOTH erob and jyd, then they have to take shandon in return.
there's alot of talk about this in the papers which leads me to believe it won't get done but if you look at who's interested in crawford and the type of players/expiring deals that can be dealt for him, we have the best combo of players and ability to absorb contracts.
