Sactown Fans on Crawford

It seems Knicksblogger and the Sactown Royalty blog is having a most interesting dialog about the inevitable trade of Ron-Ron.

Sactown fans are insulted that they're being treated loke Homers - incapable of appreciating Artest the basketball player just because of his history. They claim to be much more sophisticated than that and I believe them.

They seem to believe Bibby is gone and think Nate is merely okay.

Most interesting are these observations;

Quentin Richardson would be preferable to Jamal Crawford, but he's still not the right fit. (Why Q over Crawford? Q has some semblance of a conscience. Jamal does not. His usage rate was 3% higher than Martin's last year... and Martin scored five more points per 40 minutes. If you're going to toss up a 40% field goal percentage, your three-point percentage better be high. 32% is not high.


My guess is a three-way deal; Miami, NY, Sacto

Miami sends Haslem and Williams to Sacto and Antoine Walker to NY

Sacto sends Bibby and Kenny Thomas to Miami, Artest to NY

NY sends Nate and Jeffries to Miami - Q, Malik Rose, Collins, and Balkman to Sacto plus vets

Sacto puts Haslem, Balkman, and Moore on the same court, Collins grows into the PG spot under Williams

NY clears roster spots, adds Artest, Antoine dines with JJ

Happy, happy, eh?

Miami teams Shaq with Nate (OMG!) - Bibby, Thomas contract is shorter than Antoine's

Ye Newe Glory-torium

Here, dear readers, is the final resting place of all weary Knicks fans. Yes, here is where one comes when the Triangle refuses to have three sides, when biting one's lip from losing to win later is one loss too far,or when said fan simply hits 'rock' bottom. In short, "the ship be" eternally "sinking" here. Welcome aboard, rearrange the deck chairs as you please.
