Yup. Signed him for big bucks.

Kind of a dumb move by Big Al and the Bobcats...but it seems NOT tanking has been working out for many teams right now.

Big Al is getting dem checks though!

I thought sullinger looked like crap during the preseason.  Kid is starting to impress me, though.  He's looking really solid out there.  He might end up being a starter after-all. Great news.

[wahz]

funny that we bring in an actual coach and a guy like Crawford responds. It was totally obvious that a talented player who most needed to be actually coached would improve with Stevens

[fairweatherfan]

Crawford at halftime: leading the team in points, assists, and rebounds.  5-7 FG, 2-2 FT.  1 steal.  No turnovers.

Tt...trade Rondo?

Haha absolutely!

Rondo is worthless at this point...

Honestly I feel like Rondo is actively holding the team back right now.  I'd be ok with a waiver.   

[timobusa]

Lol wow... the way these kids are sharing the ball ... we might not even need a traditional point guard.  Trade Rondo for draft picks.

Clearly.

Never would have thought I would grow to like Crawford's game.  He's been absolutely terrific this season.

Same here.  I stand corrected.

Improve? You clearly weren't paying attention what type of player he was in Washington when there were minutes for him.

hint: He averaged 15 ppg and 3.5 apg in DC; he doesn't need coaching, he needs minutes.

[D.o.s.]

As a Crawford fan, I'm loving this game.

Here's a nice statement from Stevens about Crawford
"He’s a good ballhandler with a nice feel for the game passing the ball. He’s been nothing but the consummate teammate. He’s been very easy to coach. We showed a video edit today, and he was the first clip. He went out and made a small adjustment. That’s how you get better. You don’t take those things personally. You just go to work. Jordan set a good example of that today.

He’s going to have to play because he can score the basketball and pass the basketball. He can play off pick-and-roll. So there’s three positives right there. He’s at the point, the two, whatever. He’s going to have his opportunities."

Yeah I thought he was a known headcase.  Is this a Ricky Davis-type acquisition?  One of those nutty kids that Ainge likes to buy low and attempt to sell high?.. or can he actually have a good career?

Personally, I give all the Arenas-era Wizards a free pass. By all accounts, that lockerroom was beyond dysfunctional.

I'm really amazed at the Magic so far this season.  They looked incredible the first couple of games and now they look totally lost.  I know it's a really small sample size, but they really pulled a 360.

The stupid Hawks though are playing better than expected.  They're going to cost us like 3 or 4 spots on our second draft pick, argh
