On realgm.com Jamal Crawford's older sister is basically giving hints that there is something wrong with the Crawford deal.

There has been a rumor that Isiah pulled out of the Crawford deal, so we should know by tomorrow. IMO the only reason Zeke would pull out of a Crawford deal would be to get Dampier. Hopefully, things will be cleared up tomorrow.

thats total bs, dont listen to those boards.

Ok I just found an update on the whole situation...


Crawford's tenure as Bull uncertain

BY K.C. JOHNSON

Chicago Tribune


CHICAGO - (KRT) - "As of late Wednesday, Jamal Crawford remained a Bull.

How much longer he will be one depends on which story to believe from the two that circulated Wednesday.

In one, league sources said Knicks owner James Dolan grew so furious at Crawford and his agent, Aaron Goodwin, for not immediately accepting a seven-year, $55 million contract as part of a sign-and-trade scenario that he told team President Isiah Thomas to reconsider the deal.

In another, a league source said the Knicks floated the above story in an attempt to make Bulls general manager John Paxson panic and accept a lesser deal from Thomas.

This much is certain: On Tuesday, Thomas and Paxson agreed in principle to a six-player trade that would send Crawford and Jerome Williams to the Knicks for Dikembe Mutombo, Othella Harrington, Frank Williams and Cezary Trybanski.

And if the trade goes down Thursday, which one league source strongly predicted, Crawford will be one happy camper.

"I've had it in my mind for awhile now that I want to play for the Knicks," Crawford said from Seattle. "I hope the deal gets done."

So do the Bulls, who would save $18 million in salary-cap space over the next four seasons if they acquire the four expiring contracts of the Knicks listed above. Team sources insisted Paxson wouldn't accept any other deal.

If Dolan is upset to the point that the Knicks back away from the deal_after five weeks of intense negotiations_Crawford will be playing on a $3.5 million qualifying offer for the Bulls.

With an uncertain labor future in the NBA, it's unlikely he'd sniff a $55 million deal as an unrestricted free agent next summer.

But Crawford's camp is confident that the deal with the Knicks will still go down."

7 year 55, if goodwin doesnt like it, too bad, maybe they'll come running back come feb.

Crawford's brother was on Nickelodeon and said he's coming to NY. That should remove all doubt.

It's a game of chicken.

Yup and I think Zeke is trying to get pieces back or changed. I like Dolan as the bad cop rather than Dolan as the dumb cop.

BIG LOL

Crawford should take the deal and shut the f... up.

We're all sick and tired about that story, IT has spent his whole summer to make him come, so he should stop that now.
