Hawks Unwilling to Trade Jamal Crawford?

The AJC reports that Atlanta isn’t ready to pull the trigger on a Crawford trade anytime soon: “As for Jamal’s value on the trade market, I’m told at least three teams inquired about his availability before the pay-me-or-trade-me news came out but were rebuffed by the Hawks. I’ve got to think GM Rick Sund will try to re-establish those talks now and listen to any other offers that come in. I know there’s some sentiment to just deny Jamal the extension and have him report to camp (and he would), but would it be a good look for the Hawks to have an unhappy camper? “

    That sucks, I thought Jamal proved he was a valuable part of the team last year. Especially after winning 6th Man of the Year. I’ll just take it as they spent all their dough on JJ…

    Jamal Crawford kind of looks like Don Cheadle.

    I don’t really see the Hawks trading him. First, they simply don’t have to. Crawford is under contract with them and cant do anything about it. Second, trading him would more than likely be a multi player deal and I just dont see ATL wanting to ship off any of their core players with Crawford right now.

    Honestly, I see this as the fallout from overspending on JJ, as well @niQ.

    So lemme get this straight…Overpay a guy that chokes in the playoffs and don’t pay the guy that helped you advance?

    It is being rumored that the Hawks could trade Jamal Crawford and replace him with Allen Iverson!!!

    The Hawks don’t really need Crawford to make the playoffs, which is probably what the team’s goal is anyways. With that said, Al Horford is gonna get paid this summer and he’s more worth keeping than Crawford.
