I like it. I don’t love it for my team. Crawford is better than Flip Murray. Re-sign Bibby.

What they really need is to run. But Woodson won’t do it so its irrelevant. They would have a hard time getting the second round.

YES! I’m glad to pick up another scorer to help out and give JJ some rest. We surely need him.

Bibby
Crawford
Johnson
Smith (maybe)
Horford

Williams on the bench when they wanna get bigger. Zaza backs up Horford. Resign Bibby and that’s a line up I can live with. If they move Smith for a better PG, watch out.

Nobody should be using the word suckiest. Not even a Warriors fan. What are you 12?

Hopefully Law is an upgrade over CJ Watson. Getting anyone to take Crawford is a win for the Warriors.

Great move for the Hawks. BUT – this has to be used as a way to get faster as a team. They have to be able to outrun Orlando, Cleveland and Boston next year cause they won’t out-skill or out-muscle them.

I would trade Marvin Williams for a young PG like Eric Maynor or Jeff Teague. Marvin’s game frustrates the hell outta me.

I’d start:
Bibby
Crawford
JJ
J Smoove
Horford

Draft Hansbrough at 19 and use him as an energy guy off the bench with:

Maynor or Teague
Flip
Mo Evans
Hansbrough – No worse than Josh Powell off the bench
Zaza

Instant Championship

i like this trade for both teams. Crawford didn’t have a future in GS and i think a Crawford/Johnson backcourt is an upgrade over a Bibby/Johnson backcourt. Speedy Claxton and Acie Law are spare parts or flat tires, maybe spare flat tires

GREAT move for the Hawks. Woodson did not play Acie (who didn’t look like all that even when he played) and Speedy is done.

I concur with post 1: JJ definitely blows hot and cold during the season. Also, they can go with a small lineup with JJ at the 3.

Finally, this very well may mean that Flip is not resigned, as I see Crawford playing role Flip had last year: First guard off the bench at point guard or shooting guard, with a mission as the designated chucker! And Flip really filled that role well. I rooted for him to shoot it everytime he got the ball.

Fantastic! Draft a point guard. Don’t resign Bibby, Marvin or Zaza. Take the Polish Hammer from Orlando. Resign J-Chill from Greece, and then if there is $ left, then go ahead and match whatever low offer Marvin’s agent manages to squeeze from another team. $-wise this is very doable, because between Bibby, Marvin and Zaza, the 3 of them seriously made about $20 mil. last year.

And trade J-Smoove for Monte Ellis!

First team:

C: Gortat
PF: Horford
SF: J-Chill
PG: Ellis
SG: JJ

2nd team:

C: Soloman Jones
PF: Randolph Morris
SF: Marvin
PG: Crawford
SG: Mo Evans

What the fuck are my Warriors doing? They trade JC and all they can get for him is two D-Leaguers? If Acie Law was all that good Atlanta wouldn’t have brought in Bibby. Now I bet they are thinking they won’t have to draft a point guard which will be a big mistake. Then they are going to draft Jordan Hill if he falls that far which will also be a mistake since his ceiling to me is Mikki Moore a good back up role player. The Warriors have the suckiest organization in the league. They don’t have a fucking clue what they’re doing. This is basically the same as last year when they brought in Marcus Williams and the D-leaguer Watson. What they’re big love fantasy with DL players anyway?
