    frankly, it doesn't matter that much to me. I could care less about Felton, but I would keep crawford. Even though he's a chucker, teams do need guys like that, they can't all be passive players who are scared to shoot.

    We can rebuild, do whatever, but not much is going to change until the coaching staff is replaced. Its inevitable at this point. The dream is gone for that.

    Canzano: I'm not buying Jamal Crawford as part of a "mutiny"... Crawford is obviously frustrated but is a pro. Felton has been dog, tho. Camby, too.

    I can see this, Crawford seems pretty emo but he doesn't seem like he has a huge attitude problem and would do this. Felton I could see.

    Crawford will not exercise his option this summer so he will be gone. We would not be crazy enough to sign Felton to a contract this summer so he is gone. There is no downside to trading these guys for 2nd round picks, if that is the best that we can do. If it hurts us for the rest of the year, that can only give us a better draft pick.

    Exactly!!!


    Also opens up playing time for Williams and Smith to see if they are players we can build upon.

    If there's a coaching change, maybe Crawford would stay. Maybe not. I want him to finish his season here though. I don't like the idea of signing a free agent then dumping them halfway through a lockout shortened season. He's giving us what we expected him to, not a big surprise here.

    I certainly don't want to help the lakers get beasley for steve blake. what the fuck, fuck that shit.

    Wait;

    Felton and Crawford are 20-10 guys? When did I miss this accomplishment?

    He is giving us what I expected as well, which is why I hated the signing from the beginning.

    the concept is just one that's casually thrown around, yet its a bad one.

    He is a volume shooter that kills what little offensive flow we have. Travis was the same way, and I hated him as well. He has shot a low % for his entire career

    Yeah, that's why when he's on the bench, we get out to such quick starts.....

    You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but when I look at this roster it looks like a complete tire-fire. Aldridge, Batum and maybe Williams and then what? It's a total mess.

    I would keep:

    Aldridge
    Batum
    Williams
    Crawford

    and then go from there. I'd be looking to move Gerald Wallace so Nic can start at the 3 instead of the 2.

    from Twitter

    Crawford: "I pride myself on being a pro and doing whatever is asked."

    Crawford: "Check my quotes since I've been here. Never thrown anyone under the bus-- coach or teammate!"

    Crawford: "I don't even have enough juice to say that I want to play the position I signed up for (shooting guard)."
