1. This team is very young and inconsistency will happen. They seem to go on 3-4 games losing streaks and then 3-4 games winning streaks. No need to despair during the losing streaks. They are going to happen.
2. This concept that player's trade value changes from game to game and week to week is fan fantasy basketball stuff and GMs in the NBA do not view things like that. Its nonsensical to think that a players value for trading changes game to game based on their performances. Sorry people, that's just not how it works.
game to game, sure, value doesn't change, but during the season of course it does. Crawford's trade value has certainly increased since the beginning of the season, and if he reverts to his selfish, boneheaded play his value will return back to preseason level.
I think it takes months and months of play to change trade value in any meaningful way and Crawford was gotten for garbage and probably is still on this team because any offers the C's are getting is sending garbage back to us for him.
Players go on 20-30 games hot streaks and then revert back to what they were. GMs across the league know this and right before our eyes we are starting to see it happen with Crawford. His value is no different now than at the start of the year. If the C's could get a second rounder with a garbage expiring contract for Crawfor they would take it. But they probably haven't so he is still a Celtic.
If Crawford played like he did the first 25 games of the season for this whole season, then his value would change and you would see it in the offers he would get as a RFA.But he he slowly goes back to being Jordan Crawford, he will be worth very little to either this team and any other.
