Warriors, Knicks agree in principle on Crawford-Harrington deal

[xtremesteven33]

A steal for GS, although their backcourt will be awfully crowded once Monta returns... and the Knicks get their salary relief in 2010.

As for the Randolph trade, WTF are the Clippers thinking? Anyone guess where Kaman is going, because there's no way he can coexist with Randolph and Camby.

Bobcats

The Knicks get a shorter contract back....clearing room for 2010....can you say LeBron?

Yeah they will likely get him but can you say suck ass for 2 yrs! That team is gonna blow, I cant see Lebron going there if hes gonna be by himself.

Kaman for G Wallace? Interesting. Doesn't make much sense unless they don't like Thornton though...

I hope it doesn't happen because I have Wallace on two fantasy teams and don't want to see his numbers cut. Why are the Bobcats looking to trade their best player?

Any buyout amount would count against the cap for the remaining total years of the contract in proportion to the original amounts for each season.

Thanks, Chump. So from the CBA's perspective there is no difference between a fully guaranteed, partially guaranteed, or player option year on a contract when a buyout is being considered?

doesn't make sense for either team: warriors have a clog at pg/sg now and the knicks have too many big men

That is why the trade was made.

As long as the options are still options, I'm pretty sure they count. I don't think option years can be waived as part of a buyout agreement.
