Quick reports that Cho;s main objective all along is not Harris, but Jamal Crawford from Atlanta. Atlanta is hot after a PG and Cho thinks Crawford can be turned into a PG. He's Roy's best friend and lives one block from Roy in Seattle.
Man, I hope not, no way Crawford is a PG, he's a low efficiency chucker IMO lets hope Quicky is totally wrong as usual
Thats a much bigger step back this and next season than a Harris deal, primiarily because JC is not a PG and this team has Wes/Nic/Rudy/Roy at the wings. Crawford has been a high volume low percentage shooter his career. Do we really want to pay Crawford the 10million per he wants? I'm not very excited about this deal, I like the idea of trading Miller/Camby/Joel for younger assets. If it was Joel instead of Miller going out I'd be happier with this deal.
Crawford may be a worse defender than Hobbled Roy. This can't possibly be true. If it is, whatever computer puked up the data saying Crawford is worth Miller should be given the Office Space treatment.
Hoping this is all Quick theorizing (based on him being Roy's best friend, etc) and not Cho's actual desired direction. Very disappointing if so.
Honestly, this IMO sounds like leverage against New Jersey. I think this is more along the lines that the Blazers want them to know we have other options as well (ie: in order to avoid including Rudy in the trade like they are requesting). At this point I would think this is all smoke and mirrors. We will see.
Well, while Cho was floating out rumors of a terrible deal, the Nets were so unnerved by his tactics that they had to settle for Deron Williams instead of Andre Miller.
Crawford as a scorer off the bench...ok, I can live with that.... Crawford as a PG? That is laughable....
