I think a good center should be priority no.1 and then see what we can do about Crawford. We rarely get the opportunity to acquire a C the quality of Ilgauskas or Dampier. I think we have a situation where Crawford definitely wants to be here, and his agent wants to get him here. Unless some other suitors get involved (like Denver), we can drag the Crawford stuff out a little longer. I think we can still do some mix and matching with Crawford to make it work....perhaps he'll have to lower his salary a bit.

More than wanting to be here, Crawford and his agent are just desperated to get a deal done. They are mad that other free-agents have recieved very good deals already and that Chicago hasn't done a thing yet. They are obviously pushing the Bulls to finish the deal because thats the closest they are on having a contract. So it mainly depends on the Bulls. The Big Z deal is a good one we should make and thats why Isiah will keep pushing the Bulls to accept Moochie.

I'm surpised Cleveland isn't asking for Nazr Mohammed instead of Mutombo. I guess they really want the expiring deal, but Mohammed seems like a player they could actually use and he only has 2 years left. IMO, he's better than Tony Battie...

I think Paxson is asking for Mohammed. Kurt and Deke won't be enough financially to get the deal done.
"This is a very cautious situation that we're in. You have to be conservative in terms of using your assets and using them wisely. We're building for the future." - Zeke (I guess not protecting a first round pick is being conservative)

I'd have no problem including Mohammed....especially if it makes the Craw deal easier...though we are not privy to the discussions or Zeke's plans. It must be weird working with two Paxsons at once...

Yeah, to make the deal possible because Big Z's contract is 14.6mill, the Knicks would have to trade KT, Deke and Nazr.
