he Atlanta Hawks and Golden State Warriors are closing in on a trade that would find a new home for Jamal Crawford
NBA front-office sources say that the Warriors and Hawks will soon complete a deal sending Crawford to Atlanta for Acie Law and Speedy Claxton.
A source with knowledge of the Hawks situation told ESPN.com, however, that deal is being held up because Atlanta coach Mike Woodson isn't sold on the trade and because Crawford has an early termination clause in his contract.
Warriors coach Don Nelson made no secret of the fact that Crawford wasn't in his future plans. By shedding Crawford's longer contract and by virtue of insurance payments that will cover some of the costs of Claxton, Golden State would secure a decent measure of payroll relief with the trade.
Less clear is what impact the move will have on Atlanta's forthcoming negotiations with free agent-to-be Mike Bibby. Although Crawford is not a pure point guard, he's a prolific scorer whose arrival could affect the sort of contract offer Bibby expected to command from the Hawks.

Hopefully we actually use the expiring. I hated when we didnt use that trade exemption from the JRich/Wright trade.

Good for both because Craw is best used in like a JR Smith role surrounded by mature players.
