It would REALLY make my New Year better IF some of you would READ the thread before replying sarcastically!!!
I did NOT realize that Crawford's shooting had declined so precipitously in the last 1.5 years and once that was pointed out, I said this IN THIS THREAD:
"Point well taken!! I didn't realize his shooting had fallen off SO MUCH in the last 1.5 years!!

It would REALLY make my New Year better IF some of you would READ the stats before starting a thread about a player.
Although, to be fair, Crawford in his prime was a mediocre player who was willing to take enough shots to score 20ppg, so he wasn't that desirable before he declined.
Point WELL TAKEN:-)) However, many on this board have been screaming (and likely continue to scream) for instant offense. I admit that I don't really follow the Clippers during the regular season since Doc has taken over, since I now consider him a traitor, other than to follow there overall record and their very predictable playoff collapse under Doc's brilliant leadership:-))
Crawford is past his prime, but I can see Danny taking a chance on an older veteran (that has proven capable to instant offense, despite horrendous defense) such as Kevin Martin or a Ryan Anderson or an Eric Gordon, etc. I personally hope that he does not go after EG due to his injury history and the fact that he truly doesn't even seem to try on defense!!
I think you might be surprised what Danny does to find us some instant offense for the playoffs, if we are still in playoff contention come February. I bet you it will be a veteran that is under-performing over the last year or two.
I am comfortable out on my limb. And I will gladly admit that I was wrong AFTER the trade deadline IF I am wrong:-))
Happy New Year!!!
