Hawks to deal two to Warriors
The Atlanta Hawks and Golden State Warriors are closing in on a trade that would find a new home for Jamal Crawford.
NBA front-office sources say that the Warriors and Hawks will soon complete a deal sending Crawford to Atlanta for Acie Law and Speedy Claxton.
Warriors coach Don Nelson made no secret of the fact that Crawford wasn't in his future plans. By shedding Crawford's longer contract and by virtue of insurance payments that will cover some of the costs of Claxton, Golden State would secure a decent measure of payroll relief with the trade.
Less clear is what impact the move will have on Atlanta's forthcoming negotiations with free agent-to-be Mike Bibby. Although Crawford is not a pure point guard, he's a prolific scorer whose arrival could affect the sort of contract offer Bibby expected to command from the Hawks.

the crawford-law/claxton trade is more on money matters the warriors are trying do dispose crawfords huge contract...obviously they are in pursuit of the freeagent 2010 lottery they are obviously also after lebron james in 2010 clearling some salary cap
Hinrich to portland kuno..
ayay!! Roy-Hinrich tandem!!!
paytira!!!!
^Actually, the right term is Portland will "try" to land both Hedo and Kidd. Both scenarios are highly unlikely.
WIth this move, there is a small chance Bibby is coming back. But Crawford is the only player right now in the Hawks who can play the PG, and tan-aw nako ani, the Hawks will use the 19th to pick up a PG (Maynor, Ellington or Lawson). YEESS!!!
Good move. But i still have my reservation sa $9million and $10million contract ni Crawford in the next two seasons.
I guess ang blueprint ani sa Hawks are:
resign Murray, Zaza
make a play for Hedu, Gortat
draft PG
Am I the only one who have read this?
