Jamal Crawford has been on the block several times during his tenure with the Knicks, and a blog report on the Seattle Times indicated Crawford even would prefer a trade out of New York.

"Crawford is ready for a new change of venue," Percy Allen wrote in his blog which was posted Sunday. "He told me he's making the best of a tough situation but wouldn't mind being traded."

Crawford denied expressing that on Sunday, saying, "That's not true. I didn't say it. I don't think that."
