Jamal Crawford to the Warriors


I'm a little heartbroken that the Knicks sent Jamal Crawford to the Warriors in exchange for Al Harrington. With all their struggles, the Knicks could have used a classy cat like Crawford, I'm no Lebron-is-actually-coming-convert, so I would have rather seen a return to the playoffs as opposed to a clearing of cap space.

As far as Crawford is concerned, my feelings for him and his efforts here will never vary. He was a true player who played to win in the worst situations. He may have never ever been to the playoffs, but he was aware of of it and working hard to improve on it - which is a lot more than yo can say about some of his teammates in New York. I'm ranting, but Crawford will be missed more than fans know.

Harrington has a big upside. He's considered by experts as a "better player." He's from Jersey and a good dose of local talent might be what the Knicks need to rebuild a little esteem around. Let's see how it goes, the bottom line is the Knicks just lost and gained a really good guy. So, we're about even.
