J.Crawford is a Knick.

Joe Sez this wasn't going to happen but the deal got more focused - just 6 players - and the Knick gave up 4 expiring contracts. Crawford also didn't get the money he expected but he got enough and he's in NY.

NY gets two "real Players" Williams and Crawford. Williams is overpaid but he's a hard working player. Crawford, IMHO is also overpaid if NY keeps PG Marbury and SG Huston.

Chicago gets cap relief and two usable players, Williams 6' 3" and Harrington, 6'9", 235-pounds. Talent wise, NY wins. On character, I think Chicago has a slight advantage. Joe Sez is not a fan of Crawford. Williams is an unknown but he was a U of I standout.

Position by position, it is a wash Pg for PG, PF for PF. IMHO the other two players don't figure to impact thje Bulls: Mutombo will probably retire (as he has threatened) and the Bulls will waive Trybanski. If Mutombo does play for Chicago then Curry is going to be schooled in pratice.

IMHO, Crawford's real worth is as a 6' 5" PG who can score, not as a skinny SG which is what he is given his weight and size. He's the best player and without him Chicago is small at the guard spot. Eddie Robinson is going to have to get fit and play some defense.

Oh to have 6'5" T. Hassell back. A SG who also defends the SF position.
