for acie law and speedy clax

For Jamal Crawford?

From RealGM

Crawford is in the last non-exercisable year of his contract and cannot be traded. However, next season is currently an early termination option and if is not exercised, then the player can be traded.

Otherwise the salaries work.

says on espn unless they forgot to name the other players

wonder where this leaves Bibby...

 

[Bricklayer]

Sayas they are nearing a deal, not that it is quite done. Maybe they are waiting for the 1st? Or maybe Crawford has already waived the ETo and sent in the paperwork? Not sure if that is possible or whether you still have to wqait until the 1st anyway.

probably gone? Hard to say at this point.

If he sent it in that he was not opting out then he can be traded. Just like the report that Chris Quinn (heat) took his option for next year, he can now be traded.

Crawford is a SG who has the ability to play some PG...

this is relevant because of the Josh Smith trade rumors and the fact that JJ can play the SF

NBA front-office sources say that the Warriors and Hawks will soon complete a deal sending Crawford to Atlanta for Acie Law and Speedy Claxton.

I'm not sure the title of the thread warrants 3 exclamation points.

Sorry, for some reason I read the initial post incorrectly and thought a PG was headed to the Hawks. My bad. Gotta learn to slow down sometimes.

 

[Kings Faithful]

I want Josh Smith...lol

 

[Arby's Roast Beef]

Definitely fits into the mold of athletic players that the Hawks always seem to covet, and they do get another name player. But it doesn't really make sense--his gameface is basically that of a wild man's Joe Johnson--in that instead of playing a disciplined brand of offense, he brings his shotjacking, bad shot selection ways there. Makes them more versatile definitely, but that's not really what they need.

 

[kingsnation]

Why do the Warriors do this deal? Is it purely a cost-cutting move?

Most likely. Law has shown nothing, and I'm pretty sure most of Claxton's contract will be covered by insurance

 

[kingsnation]

That's what I was thinking. Well this will add another shooting weapon to the Hawks arsenal.

[Nighthawk1]

Good deal for Warriors, I think warriors just wanted Crawford gone..

 

[LPKingsFan]

Nice, now JJ will be unhappy about Crawford chucking and will sign here next summer.

 

[dbfish]

Big Whoops

It's all about emphasis and relevance. Putting three exclamation points on a thread like this would mean we'd have to put at least 20 for something that actually mattered.

Tell me about it. Who on this site really gives a **** about Jamal Crawford?
