Shawne Williams for Jamal? DONE!
Let's throw in season courtside tickets, too.
Kblack's point that Crawford won't be relied on is paramount:
i) Crawford won't be compelled to go into shooting binges
ii) If Crawford does, he can be quickly yanked and cooled down, and we go to any number of our other scoring titans.
Either way, barring a legit Point Guard being signed, MDA is still going to orchestrate our offense to be run directly through Melo to some degree.
ie, if we got Crawford, and started him at the 1, it's not like he will be asked to execute a traditional PG role.
Fields and Crawford are both better suited for 6th man type roles in my opinion, regardless; with Crawford being able to come in at the 1 and 2, and Fields the 2 and 3.
Crawford was also another victim of Isiah. Crawford heaving up shots ad naseum, as games closed out especially, was because Thomas was specifically having the offense run through him as if he was Carmelo Anthony.....Who we actually now have, incidentally.
