I actually was hoping we could grab Maggette. When I heard that they were willing to cut ties with Crawford, I truly thought he would be good coming off the bench for us or even a starter to replace fish. I've since had second thoughts!
When you think about it, I believe with this core group we have about three more runs in us, including this one, and if we win the Title this year possibly one more convincing win with Phil at the healm. After that Kobe will begin to slide down, Fish will be gone, Pau will be looking to re-up, Lamar (if here) will be starting to lose a step and the young guys will be in need of a new leader and future all-star. If Bynum is still around he might be the focus, with a future supporting cast of Ariza, Farmar, Brown. We will need to start looking for someone who could step in for Ocho X's 3. I don't think Crawford or Maggette are good picks, because I think they both need the ball in their hands too much, and I don't know what type of offense we will be running 2 -3 years from now.
I'm sour on this idea although at first thought, it seemed like a good one based on the fact of their athletic ability and confidence on the offensive side of the ball, but every where else is questionable????
