How Dallas Could Get In On the NY/GS Trade

[Dirkenstien]

It would be nice if we could get in on this deal and bring back Crawford for Stack and Bass.

This trade works and makes sense for all teams:

Dallas Gets:
Jamal Crawford

Golden State Gets:
Brandon Bass
Malik Rose

New York Gets:
Al Harrington
Jerry Stackhouse

- Dallas does the deal to trade the disgruntled Stackhouse and get a starting SG who can shoot, drive, and even take on some PG duties. Dallas takes on some salary but accomplishes a main objective in netting a starting quality SG while keeping the team in tact.

-New York does this to rid themselves of Crawford's contract that extends into 2011, rid themselves of Rose who they are not using and get a gritty player and expiring in Stack and a DanToni kind of star player in Harrington. Plus, Harrington's contract is 2010 friendly.

-Golden State does this to get back an expiring contract and a young big in Bass who is a Nellie type of player. I haven't checked yet but Rose's expiring would allegedly put GS somewhere around 10 mil under the cap this off-season.

Dallas Lineup:
Damp / Diop
Dirk / Singleton
Howard / Williams
Crawford / Green / Wright
Kidd / Terry / Barea

I think we could be a legitimate threat with this unit.

MY feeling is Crawford to Goldenstate really doesn't make sense because they're already stacked at the 2 position, especially with the emergence of Morrow. So why would GS take on salary for a player they don't need? I think a third team has to be involved here and dealing with Dallas makes a lot of sense. Enough sense that could override the dislike between Nellie and Cuban. Plus, Nellie isn't the one with the final word in GS.

Bass doesn't shoot 3's so Nellie wouldn't have him.

Well Rose makes more sense for Golden State than Crawford and you'd have to think Rose and Bass would be better for them than just Rose.

It may be too late now but this could be a great opportunity for us. By the way, Crawford has been shooting 43% from the field and 45.5 % from 3 this season.

Bass is what, 6'7"? He's the prototype Nellie center.

Crawford is the perfect fit in GS's system. Why would they make things more complicated when they got a player fitting in right away.
