[Knicks Analyst]

The two are trying to finalize the Crawford deal.

Great article. I hope to G-d that we work something out!

 

[B.e.]

Maybe finally the deal will get done.

I am confident Zeke will get this done. Call me crazy, but I also think that If we get Crawford, Zeke will dangle him to lure Toronto into a trade for Vincanity.

its imposible for us to get vince...
if this gets done then call isiah king...

 

[B.e.]

That could be possible but I doubt it,it seems like Zeke and the Knicks have been working really hard to get Crawford and I think they truly want hm on the Knicks.

If the trade goes down as Othella Harrington, Shandon Anderson, Frank Williams and Dikembe Mutombo for JYD, JC, and Eddie Robinson the Bulls would be getting raped.. First off the Bulls have Ben Gordon, Kirk Hinrich, Chris Duhon, and Jannero Pargo as gaurds already so they dont need Frank Williams another PG and Othella, Shandon and Dikembe are all old and the only one that I like out of them is Mutombo because he is still a decent back up but Shandon has a huge contract from what I've heard and Othella is old.. This would be a good deal for the Knicks though..

I hate it when people use the term "raped"....
Just say its a bad trade if that's your opinion....

How is Chicago getting the worst of this deal. We are giving them 3 expiring contracts if Mutombo is added to the deal. While we would be taking on more salary by adding JYD & E-Rob. The only contract they get is Shandon Anderson. This deal is about the Bulls freeing-up cap-space, not about who's getting the better players. I hope Zeke can get them to take Moochie's contract with-out having to give them Mutombo. If Mutombo is added in this deal I would be very angry. We would be giving-up all our pawns in 1 deal. Not good for us. Give them [Harrington,Williams, Anderson & Norris] if they don't budge walk-away & live to see another day.

agreed 100%.... i like JC but we cant give up everything we have in this deal...JC has already made it clear that if he has to stay in chi town that he will be very unhappy... and as we all know that could be very bad for the bulls.. he can make life misera-bull (sorry couldn't help it) for paxon and every one else on the team.. i say continue to play hard ball and worse case is we have to go into the season as is.. but come Feb. we will be holding all the cards and everyone will want to deal with us for our expiring contracts

<font color="DarkSlateBlue">We'll it looks like Zeke has walked away to see another day, as his talks with John Paxson went no-where yesterday. I'm very happy Zeke stood firm & didn't fold under the request of the Bulls, who seem to believe they are doing us a favor by trying to work a sign&trade with us for JC. This will end-up back firing on the Bulls big-time.</font>

Well hopefully they will finally finalize this deal because if they continue to hinder it from progress and it doesnt make any both teams are suffering along with there players because the faliure to finalize this trade is leaving the future of some players in question. Also some players dont know there roll with the team if they will be involved in the trade or if they will get any minutes.

Hopefully they dont trade away penny or sweetny in this deal. Penny did great last season when he came over with marbury in the deal that sent mcdyess to phonex. He performed very well even did a few commercial about how great it was to be back in new york and got a tatoo the storm is over.


I am hoping that they dont inovlve houston in this trade he is the best free throw shooter on the team, but isiah is tring to rid the knicks of most or all players from the layden era so he may be involved espcially since they want to start crawford they may try and include houstons contract to chicago though I dont think it will because he has a big deal so if they send him to chicago a few players would have to come to new yokr to make it work depending on how much crawford gets.
