Jamal Crawford

So, is Crawford ever going to make a decision? Might be nice for him to get in a few runs with his new teammates before the season starts.

 

No doubt! Hurry up Crawford!

 

I really think he should have a television special to announce where he's going to play.

 

He's gotta be waiting for something before he makes his decision. No way it takes this long to decide where you are going to play for one year.

 

My god the internet age has made some people pretty damn impatient.

 

The more technology advances are made, the more spoiled we all are. Imagine the commador 64 trying to explore the vast cyber-space known as the "internet". We'd have to get a cup of coffee before re get a refresh of this forum.

 

The first preseason game is Monday. My thought is it would be nice to get in a FA before then, if that FA is going to be a key contributor to the team.

I find it silly that it takes a player 4 days to decide between Portland and Sacto, and it makes me question his priorities. The 'internet age' has nothing to do with it. The season starting in just over a week does, though. Plus, with the compacted season, practices will be few and far between once the games start. The importance of every day of camp is extrapolated with this shortened camp, and integrating new players is going to be crucial for teams to get off to a fast start in a shortened season.

 

I guess Marcus Camby is 'impatient' as well, considering he called out Crawford on Twitter with a 'what will it take' Tweet.

 

@sam_amick: Jamal Crawford has chosen Portland, according to two sources.

 

Yay. Who says we can't lure FAs?

Jamal Crawford says he has chosen Portland, but he has not signed. He will announce officially in coming hours

EXCELLENT!!!

 

Interesting. Looks like Roy will be amnestied this afternoon, then.

Would have been nice if he had made this decision Tuesday, but whatever.

Welcome to PDX, Jamal Crawford!

 

Well 18 pages later.... we have our answer!

 

NIIIIIIICEEEE!

 

Well its about time!

 

So we look like this....

PG - Felton/Smith/A. Johnson
SG - Wes/Crawford/Williams
SF - Wallace/Batum
PF- LA/Wallace/Thomas
C - Camby/Thomas/Johnson

If healthy its playoff caliber

 

Only the Center is what I would be truly worried about. Maybe the PG position too, since a youngster can't truly be counted on. But I do like the line-up.

 

They really should go out and find a backup PG ASAP....

 

Also Oden if he returns ahead of schedule. The secret weapon to unexpected playoff dominance!

 

I still think you have to add Oden to the mix at center. It may not happen until February, but I just don't see him missing the entire season on a contract year.
