the knicks have won 3 in a row after beating the c's 101-86. crawford had 31 points and is really showing consistency. in 5 games in april he's averaging over 25ppg. usually when crawford would have a big game he'd follow it with a poor one. i think the knicks look like a much better team without marbury. crawford has really matured as a player due to larry brown, is there hope for next season?
In other words hes their main trade bait who they will try to package up with one of the players they will try to get rid of (Marbury, Francis etc.) whom no one else would want to trade for otherwise..

My point is he could be used as a part of a trade to ship out one of the many headaches on the team that would be otherwise impossible to deal.

When you trade for someone, you have to give someone up, and in order to get someone to take on one of your players (Marbury, Francis etc.), you will have to give up someone to make the trade worthwhile for the other team. Nobody wants to have a player like Marbury on there team, and its clear you wont win with him here, so the only way to trade him is to give up something along with that, one of those few assets being Crawford..
wow crawfords had 3 good games, lets just celebrate and rejoice because the knicks have 1 guy that actually played solid for a few games..

Its a start, but they still have a long way to go. Its good for the fans to win some of these games down the stretch, however and give them hope albeit I dont know how much hope there is for the imediate future..

It looks good on paper, but those players dont always mesh and the payroll turns into a mess. It will be hard to trade some of those guys, but I think you need to get rid of Marbury if you want a winner..I think you need a pass first PG like a Brevin Knight..

I think Knight would be a nice option for you guys, he should be avaible as a free agent in the offseason since Charlotte has had a lot of recent success with Raymond Felton..
the people for the knicks are francis,crawford,n robinson,.......................................................
