I don't see how anyone can be disappointed with this deal on its own.

20/5/5 per 40 minutes, 24 years old, improved both years in the league, never played for a decent team. He may even be a good cross-matchup guy with Bradley.

Now, I wouldn't have paid a steep price for him considering the attitude issues and defense, but getting him pretty much for free is hard to argue with IMO.

Statistically, Jordan Crawford looks like a cheaper Ben Gordon, which I don't think you should want as a starter, but could be acceptable in a bench role.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned; but isn't Jordan Crawford just about as close to being the same player as Marshon Brooks as you can get and we didn't have to give up anything to get him. True the character issues may not match up in Crawford's favor.

We basically got half of the Pierce trade for next to nothing. You add in T-Will to make up for Crawford's defensive liabilities and it is a decent move given limitations on his ability/desire to move Garnet and Pierce.

Can't understand why we included Collins, does he really save that much tax money? Won't we just need to replace him with another veteran at a similar salary?

Someone else probably told you but I have no doubt Danny added Collins so Doc couldn't play him anymore

This is a great deal, which will potentially have some very positive repercussions for our trade options during free-agency or next year's trade deadline. Meaning, willingness to trade Lee or Terry for the big people are coveting. Even more so, if Williams pans out and willing to stay for cheap.

I will tell you one thing..... When ever we played the Wizard lately Tommy &  Mike have actually said they liked Crawford and that he has "killed us"  scoring..... They both said they liked his scoring the ball ability

I'd hazard a guess that Crawford has the potential to be better than Brooks solely because of his positional versatility: he can play PG in a pinch.

But yes, I think that overall that's a fair assessment.

Good news.  They could certainly use the body right now.

Hopefully he can back up KG at center. ;D

Yeah I think he will be fine for us in that role. Similar to Barbosa. Maybe not as efficient, but certainly capable to get a shot off and not defer to a guarded teammate with 3 seconds on the clock.

If he can make an extra bucket or two a game that we probably wouldn't get without him, that could make a big difference.

~15 MPG, that's all we really need from him.

Jordan Crawford picked No. 27 -- not because of his draft position -- but 7-2 = 5, one of his preferred digits.

Crawford: “Nervous, more than anything. This is Boston Celtics. You hear about them growing up, so just to be on this team is an honor.”

Crawford on KG summer incident. “It was never a thing. It was just basketball. Now we’re on the [same] team, hopefully I can help them.”
