"If you have a player you want, you should do whatever you can to keep him," Goodwin said Thursday. "The Bulls haven't done that to this point. Other teams have stepped up and taken care of players who aren't as integral to their teams as Jamal. [Knicks President] Isiah Thomas wants to do one thing and the Bulls want to do something else."

Goodwin called the Knicks the favorites to land Crawford. And he has a history of pulling power plays for his clients, so this process could get messier if it drags on. But the Bulls remain in the driver's seat.
I say let it get messy. Make Goodwin "pull power plays" - Paxson doesn't strike me as someone who is going to be bullied or pushed in to making a bad deal. I think the Bulls have invested a lot into Crawford and aren't willing to let him go for cheap. As for "or else" - I can't see what it would be unless Goodwin tries to poison the Bull's relationship with Jamal Crawford's friend, Bulls center Eddie Curry.
