Knicks To (Officially) Deal Crawford For Al Harrington

by Ryne Nelson

Several early reports conflicted as to who Donnie Walsh would excommunicate from the Garden, but as the New York Post reports, Jamal Crawford will be getting on the next plane to join the Warriors.

Knicks New York Knicks president Donnie Walsh is within hours of announcing a trade with the Warriors for Al Harrington that is expected to include Jamal Crawford in a move geared to get under the salary cap for 2010 rather than to help the present.

‘Mal leaves the New York media microscope to play much closer to home. He’ll be in a similar atmosphere in Oakland under coach Don Nelson but potentially in a bench role behind Corey Maggette. Al Harrington won’t bring greatness to the Knicks, but he’ll bolster the Knicks’ weak inside presence. He’s the prototype D’Antoni big man.

Oh, and free David Lee!

  • Teddy-the-Bear

    BY THE WAY AL HARRINGTON SUCKS @SS. DO WE REALLY NEED A STEPHON MARBURY AT THE FORWARD SPOT??? AND F*CKING GET RID OF MARBURY ALREADY, YOU STUPID PIECE OF SH!T.

  • rubs93

    Warriors got a PG until Monta gets back. that is gonna be a nasty backcourt guns a blazin. too bad neither plays D. JC will fit into Nellie’s scheme nice.

    And yall always blame Isiah, the Knicks are cursed!!

  • Teddy-the-Bear

    WALSH HAS TO F*CK EVERYTHING UP. WE ALREADY HAVE CHANDLER DEVELOPING AND LEE AND Z-BO. NOW WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS F*CKIN LEECH FROM GOLDEN STATE. WHAT THE F*CK IS THIS BULLSH!T. WE NEED CRAWFORD, ITS NOT EVEN AN OPTION. BUT OH WAIT, I THINK ALL THAT @SS SUCKING HAS GOTTEN TO DONNIE WALSH’S HEAD. F*CKING WHITE VERSION OF ISIAH THOMAS. WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU TRADE YOUR FRANCHISE PLAYER??

  • http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

    Crawlford is as much of a point guard as Larry Hughes or Dwayne Wade.

  • http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

    Teddy, at least Isiah was capible of coaching the mess he made…

  • rubs93

    This is the right move for the Knicks too. They are gonna let the kids play. NY should happy with Wilson Chandler. Wish we still had him in the Chi

  • http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

    Nubs, Wilson was never ever ever a Bull.

  • mike

    WHY?

  • Teddy-the-Bear

    SERIOUSLY, AT WHAT POINT IN TIME DID AL HARRINGTON PROVE HIMSELF A VALUABLE PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE?!?! WHY IN THE F*CK DOES DONNIE WALSH WANT THIS NINJA-TURTLE LOOKING F*CKHEAD?!?! I DON’T MIND HIM BEING ON THE TEAM, BUT TO TRADE OUR FRANCHISE PLAYER?!?!! NEXT THING YOU KNOW HIS DUMB@SS IS GOING TO GIVE UP RANDOLPH, THEN CHANDLER, THEN DUHON, THEN NATE, THEN LEE. F*CKIN HELL.

  • Teddy-the-Bear

    @ RUBS93: YOU’RE A F*CKING RET@RD. GREAT MOVE FOR THE KNICKS? WHAT F*CKING PLANET ARE YOU FROM?

  • Teddy-the-Bear

    AND YOU THINK CRAWFORD IS A PG?!?! WHAT THE F*CK MAN.

  • mike

    so is this why they signed anthony roberson then?

  • rubs93

    BETCATS you are correct. We had him a DePaul U.

  • http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

    At this point Isiah>Walsh. Isiah brought Jamal to NY, Donnie traded him. Isiah drafted Wilson Chandler, Nate Robinson, David Lee, Renaldo Balkman, and others, Walsh grabed Dino Gallanari. New York fans deserve better than Isiah, but Walsh is a turn they shouldnt have taken.

  • http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

    nubs: then how did you want to ‘keep’ him? Did you want him to flunk continously so that you could watch him play? (j/k i get your point)

  • rubs93

    @ Teddy the Bear: c’mon you honestly think you were gonna contend for a chip w Crawford. The Knicks with him would barely take the 8th spot. The best move of the Knicks is clear the mess Isiah made, get into the lottery and hang on until 2010. u may not get bron, but u gonna get someone. Bosh maybe?

  • Teddy-the-Bear

    Walsh eats more sh!t then a toilet bowl.

  • Teddy-the-Bear

    Correction: WALSH EATS MORE SH!T THAN A TOILET BOWL.

  • Teddy-the-Bear

    @ rubs93: You’re a f*cking idiot, if you think its better to trade Crawford. He’s our franchise f*cking player. OUR FRANCHISE PLAYER. Okay son, you want us to “clear the mess Isiah made” by signing another HEAVY @SS CONTRACT FOR A SELFISH PLAYER WHO WILL TAKE UP THE FORWARD SPOT AND LOOKS LIKE A NINJA TURTLE? OKAY THEN SON, YOU REALLY MUST BE HIGH ON SOME SH!T.

  • http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

    I feel bad for the Knicks. They had this guy Crawlford, who could have been a allstar, the centerpiece of the Knicks well-doings, their bright spot in the dark years, and now he is gone for a fat guy with attitude problems. So they are adding Al Harrington to the ‘collection’ of fat, low-self esteem players(Eddy Curry, Z-Bo, and Jerome James)? Whats next? Nate Robinson for Antione Walker? David Lee for Sean May? Stephon Marbury and 20 first round picks for Shaq? All the 2nd round picks for the next decade in exchange for Big Baby Davis? Max level contract to Tyrus Thomas when his contract expires? Tractor Traylor comming out of retirement? Al Harrington has his protigee shoes and my respect, but he is not needed on the New York Knicks.

  • Teddy-the-Bear

    AND BRINGING IN JAMAL CRAWFORD IS A “MESS” THAT THOMAS MADE? ARE YOU KIDDING? THE MAIN PROBLEM WITH WHAT ISIAH DID WAS BY KILLING THE SALARY CAP WITH PLAYERS THAT DO NOTHING (I.E. MARBURY, CURRY). BUT THE THING IS, NOW WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A THIRD PLAYER IN THAT CATEGORY, AND WALSH IS TOO STUPID TO GET RID OF ANY OF THOSE GUYS. INSTEAD WHAT DOES HE DO? HE TRADES OUR F*CKING FRANCHISE PLAYER.

  • http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

    rubs your obviously never watched the Knicks and now you say they could get Bosh? Why would they need him? And why would he leave Toronto, where he is a fu(kin icon to play in NY?

  • http://hibachi20.blogspot.com Moose

    FREE DAVID LEE.

  • http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

    Teddy, Isiah did trade away Tim Thomas/Micheal Sweetney in that Eddy Curry deal, and Eddy was decent in his first year as a Knick. His problem was EATING.

  • Teddy-the-Bear

    @ BETCATS: Okay I agree with the sh!t about how Walsh sucks @ss, but you call Z-Bo a low self-esteem player? He’s one of the centerpieces of our squad too. He’s one of the most underrated big men in the game, while managing to be one of the most proficient. The man dropped 30 and 20 about a week ago and nobody said sh!t about it. If it had been Dwight, that sh!t would be all over the news. I’m glad that we still have Randolph, but WE F*CKING NEED JAMAL CRAWFORD!!!!!!!! WE DON’T NEED A NINJA TURTLE.

  • Teddy-the-Bear

    Also, I’d rather have Tim Thomas than Eddy Curry right now.

  • rainman10

    Should have sent Harrington with some bums to MJ’s squad for Wallace.

  • Teddy-the-Bear

    LMFAO @ the Big Baby line though, BET. But I’m still PISSED THE F*CK OFF AT WALSH’S STUPIDITY.

  • http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

    Teddy: my problem with Z-Bo is that he never has ever considered himself a top player, because he has all the tools to be one. Maybe that is just me getting the flawed media’s preseption of Z-Bo since his ‘Jailblazer’ days but that is just the auro he puts off in my opinon, but i only watch the Knicks if they play the Bobcats or if i have a chance to hang out with somebody who has league pass which =’s 5-7 games a year if im lucky.

  • http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

    rainman, you think we want him? the answer is NO.

  • Teddy-the-Bear

    Well, that be your opinion. I think he has what it takes to be an All-Star, though. I even voted for him. I also voted for Crawford, so F*CK DONNIE WALSH.

  • rainman10

    BETCATS…I always hear Gerald is on the block? is that true, and why?

  • http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

    Well, when the Bobcats trade wallace for Chris Wilcox and Johan Petro i will feel your rage Teddy.

  • rubs93

    @ Teddy-the-Bear: if JC is your FRANCHISE player then you got a sad, sad FRANCHISE. He’s a nice piece not a FRANCHISE. and don’t get too used to Z-Bo in a Kincks uni. according to the post he’s on his way out too. Bosh wants to come home to the U.S. and he’s a better PF for the system D’Antoni wants to run. Chin up Teddy the Bear! its gonna be alright!

  • Dave Zirin

    I am ever so pissed. To hell with 2010. Crawford and Dantoni together could have been a righteous, longterm tandem. This is trash.

  • http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

    “rainman10 says:
    BETCATS…I always hear Gerald is on the block? is that true, and why?” Here is a algebraec equation to explain it to you. MJ/Rod Higgins terrible GM skills + (Bobcats-Good Power Forward) x Gerald Wallace’s Desireablitity = Us potentialy trading him for the wrong players (which will happen)

  • http://www.celtics.com Celts17

    Cool-one knucklehead for another. Actually Harrington is more of a wrinkle-head. His scalp looks like a Bull Mastiff

  • riggs

    now ZBO can go hang with his blood friends…or get his ass jumped again.

    YOU SIR ARE A IDIOT! JAMAL CRAWLFOR AVERAGED MORE THAN 20 POINTS A GAME AND HAD HELL OF GOOD NUMBERS IN STEALS, ASSISTS, AND A LOW ASSIST TO TURNOVER RATIO. AND CHRIS BOSH IS A GOD IN CANADA. HE HAS NO DESIRE TO COME BACK SOUTH OF THE BOARDER UNLESS IT MEANS A AUTOMATIC RING, EVEN THEN, BOSH IS NOT A RING WH0RE LIKE JAMES POESY OR ROBERY HORRY, SO ITS A SMALL CHANCE YOU WILL SEE HIM IN ANYTHING OTHER THAN A RAPTORS UNI EVER!!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????

  • http://www.ravingblacklunatic.blogspot.com Allenp

    Baron Davis has a frontcourt rotation of Camby, Kaman and Randolph. The Clippers better improve.

  • http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

    ??What are you talking about Allenp?? They traded Randolph?!

    FIRESALE IN NEW YORK!!! Z-Bo AND MARDY COLLINS FOR TIM THOMAS AND CUTTINO MOBLEY

  • http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

    So basically, according to the LA Times its Z-Bo and Mardy Collins for Cuttino ‘butt pirate’ Mobely and Tim ‘the under achiver’ Thomas? WTF

  • rubs93

    ugh now I really feel sorry for y’all if that clips trade goes down. Well at least you got football!

  • http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

    this is turrible, turrible turrible turrible

  • vmcb

    Zack Randolph to the Clips for Tim Thomas and Cuttino Mobley! YIKES

  • http://www.freewebs.com/betcats BETCATS

    vmcb, they also traded Mardy Collins with Z-BO. Mardy was a first round pick for the Knicks and would be a good reserve point guard for Duhon.
