Signing him could make Rozier expendable this season. Signing him may mean that the Cs are looking at trade options
I feel like we don’t need him. We don’t lack people who can create shots. If he were an off-ball sniper then that would be one thing, but he’s not. Throw in the fact that he might be the single worst defensive player in the league at this point in his career... and no thanks.

The only non-starters that can really create for themselves at all are Rozier and Morris, and Morris can only do it in certain settings.

How many can do it on GSW's bench? If all of our starters can do it (w/o counting guys on the bench who can) then we are more than fine. It's rare as is to have 5 guys that start who all can, let's not make this something more important than it is. The bench has plenty of guys who are competent at getting themselves something or at least are able to do it for others. You're never going to play a full bench lineup in important moments unless something goes terribly wrong anyway, there will always be 1-2 guys who can get their own/create and with the way CBS does it, there is always at least 2.
Love J, but prefer to leave the spot open. Hello Ariza.

You never know who you will need in emergencies. If Kyrie or Rozier get hurt and/or are in foul trouble, a guy like Crawford can be a savior in the short term. Even if its just for one half lf a playoff game, its worth it and can make the difference between Banner 18 and coming up just short.

Crawford is a proven NBA player. If he’s cool riding the pine most games, what’s the harm in signing him?
