TRADE ACCEPTED

The trade works salary wise and the Knicks get their atheletic C/PF. The Clippers get Marbury, and Nazr, which would give them a deep frontcourt, and they get the 2nd Rounder

Knicks lineup
C Wilcox/KT/Sweetney
PF Wilcox/JYD/KT/Sweetney
SF Ariza/JYD/Wilcox/Penny
SG Crawford/Maggette/Penny
PG Crawford/Moochie/Brewer

Personally, I'm not comfortable enough with Crawford running the point yet to make this trade. I just assume see what improvements we can do with the draft and expiring contracts this summer before we make any big deals.

he can handle the ball better than Marbury but he passing and driving is a question, you still have moochie and can move crawford to SG and Corey to SF

Moochie is worse then Eisley.

I don't like to make definitive statements about most players because they can change but I'll make an exception in this case - CRAWFORD will never ever be a good point guard!

Posted by martin:

from what I have seen Craw is a ball-handling genius, but he not the best decision maker with the ball in his hands.

can he grow, learn and change? sure, but I don't think he is a PG who can run the team for at least another 2 years.

You're more optimistic then me. I hope you're right. I personally hope he can play with enough control to be a decent two guard in two years.
