Knicks Get Crawford, Sink Further Into Cap Hell






Hey, it's only money. Jamal Crawford (above) signed a 7 year, $55.4 million contract with Chicago, and has been swapped to New York in a sign and trade deal. The Knicks will also acquire Jermoe WIlliams in exchange for Dikeme Mutombo, Othella Harrington, Frank Williams and Cezary Trybanski.

Crawford led the Bulls in scoring last season, averaging 17.3 points per game. According to a number of sources, this trade nearly blew up over Isiah Thomas' insistance that the Bulls take Moochie Norris in the deal, while others claimed Thomas' counterpart, Chicago's John Paxson was equally adament that the Knicks accept Scottie Pippen.
