Knicks Go Backwards By Dealing Crawford

When it looked as if the New York Knick organization was finally moving in the right direction they make a blockbuster trade that could ruin their whole season.

By trading Jamal Crawford, a star guard that could have been their franchise player, they have slowed down their progress greatly. As an organization that has been despicable this century, this trade has set back any evolution they have made.

With the addition of Al Harrington, who the Knicks got in exchange for Crawford, they now are stacked at the forward position and very weak at the guard position. Even with Chris Duhon the guard position is still ultra thin.

Harrington had also been very controversial with Golden State, wanting out since the beginning of the season. With Stephon Marbury and Eddy Curry, the last thing the Knicks need is another player that makes more negative headlines than positive ones. 

After starting the season 6-5 and, after this blockbuster trade, tuesday's game vs. Cleveland with Lebron and Co. starts the Al Harrington era in New York that will see the Knicks play with their limited amount of guards.
