The Golden State Warriors have had recent problems with Jamal Crawford. There have been many reports of him opting out of his contract at the end of the year.

There are also reports that him and coach Don Nelson have been butting heads. Crawford will now sit out Tuesday against the Clippers (the return of Baron Davis) and Thursday in Los Angeles Lakers.

The Warriors should trade Jamal Crawford and another player to get the first overall pick. This move will give the Warriors the forward that they have been in need of. That forward of course is Blake Griffin.

Griffin is averaging 21.9 PPG and 14.3 RPG. This will give the Warriors rebounding power which only comes from Andris Biedrins.

The last game against the Suns, Stephen Jackson picked up two technical fouls which now puts him at 17 for the season. The limit is 16 and now he will have a one-game suspension.
