I agree, but maybe you could do something now that would put you in better position at the deadline ala turning Kaman into Crawford and Crawford for Terrence Ross. It'd be another piece you could throw into a trade for someone like Cousins.
I think we have to many projects like Crabbe, Harkless, Montero, Frazier, and Pressey. I'm hoping we can get another project along the lines of Vonleh, McCollum and Leonard.
I think LAC would be interested in Kaman.. if we could swing Crawford to SAC or Toronto we could get one of them. I think I'd rather have Ross or McLemore over Derozen though.
Why do you think Crawford is worth more than Kaman? I think its the opposite actually. Kaman is a productive limited minute big man. Crawford is a 35 year old chucker teams are weary of. Trading either for Ross, McLemore, or DeRozen is a totally unrealistic steal those teams don't listen to. Sure if you can get value for Kaman do it... but I think he'll have more value when a team unexpectedly finds themselves in need of a big man. Think of Houston with Dwights injury last year or Miami losing Bosh or something like that. Those teams have no reason to acquire a center now but some team like that may have a need during the season.
I think that teams might be interested in Crawford and might take a chance on him having a bounce back year... I could definitly see the Kings taking a chance on him, since they're taking a chance on Rondo. We have picks to give up now, and tons of filler like Crabbe.
I still don't see Henderson and Kaman here much longer. Wouldn't be surprised if they're dealt before the season starts.
To be honest, crawchuck is a terribly bad fit in SacTown. Crawchuck requires the ball in his hand, which is why he was mainly used when CP3 was resting. Rondo is another player that requires the ball in his hand to be effective. I think Sac would want a starting caliber player that could co exist with a ball dominant guard. There is only one ball
I'm not saying he's a good fit. Rondo is an absolutely awful fit, but they signed him anyways. The organization is a mess, and maybe they view Crawford as an upgrade over McLemore talent wise and pull the trigger. Or maybe they expect filler, which we have, and which the Clippers would likely give up. And I think Belinelli will start because they need a spot up shooter, so maybe they take Crawford to bring him off the bench, knowing that McLemore would be unhappy not starting.
Oddly enough, I want a vet. Someone who has been around the league and knows a thing or two about being a pro. I feel like Earl Watson and Jared Jeffried helped Dame quite a bit his rookie year, and with all the youth on the team, we need a few vocal guys who can nurture and provide guidance to the youngins. They need to be happy with playing a minimal role on the floor, but still vocal and ready help in practice. Steve Blake prolly woulda been good in that setting, but right now, Henderson and Davis are most experienced players. I don't know much about their leadership qualities, so I want one more guy. A third stringer at any position who can set things right if they go south in the locker room. Possible names: Jason Terry, Tayshaun Prince, Ridnour, Reggie Evans, JRich?, Dorrell, Dre, Rasual Butler, Elton Brand, etc
