yeah i dont think its a great idea to give a 29 year old a max contract. whats going to happen at the end of that contract when he is most likely going to be paid a lot more than hes worth. it'll be another allan houston situation. but, he'd be a definite upgrade over crawford at the 2, and hed be an excelennt replacement as the teams shooter. imagine if houston actually miraculously became healthy again somehow, and we had 2 of the best pure shooters in the nba on one team? we'd light up other teams with non stop 3's.
i dont mind getting rid of kurt, we have enough pf's already, and i dont think we'd be able to get a (good) center out of him in a trade anyway. i think the trade overall is ok, but i'd do it if it was crawford and jyd, or crawford and mo taylor, or crawford and any other big man except sweetney. or maybe isiah can get a draft pick added in (comming to us, not us giving one up) somehow.
if allen agreed to a shorter contract, like maybe 4-5 years at max money, id seriously consider doing it.
