Crawford sell high?

[2short]

the good crawford we keep
he was picked up for 2 guys that aren't in the nba right now

rondo comes back he is our instant offense guard off bench

more interesting thought, lee has been playing well, crawford is proving his worth, rondo is an all star
is bradley expendable?  could bradley and a pf could get us a good center   

[playdream]

he can back up Rondo nicely so we should keep him until he demand large contract

and if one should go it's AB
he can't pass/poor rebound/poor ball control/inconsistent shooter/not good finisher
only good is off-ball cut and defense but it's not enough

[SHAQATTACK]

Danny might wind up with some more picks for Bass , Lee and Crawford before it is all over......they are better than a lot of junk role players out there ........send all three for Asik

I think Jordan Crawford would have to maintain his level of play for a few months before his trade value really changes. If traded now, I don't think he'd be worth any more now than he was to Washington.

Something to revisit closer to the trade deadline.

Exactly. We should definitely move him if we can get any significant value for him (especially given what we traded him for), but despite his recent play he has to show that this isn't a short term resurgence for Crawford.

If either of the Bulls or Knicks are willing to give any real value up for him in a panic move, I'd jump on it.

More realistically though I think Crawford, if he continues to play like this, can serve as the kind of kicker that pushes through a much larger deal built on dumping of some of out larger contracts.

There has been a lot of talk about Amare to the C's. I could see Humphries, Wallace, and Crawford being sent out for Amare and Hardaway Jr. (something like that). The C's don't just get the savings, they also pick up a promising SG on a rookie deal. The Knicks get some depth to pull them out of the basement, but also Crawford who has the spark that can keep them afloat.

It's a guy like Crawford, who has a particularly strong season, but is also on the block, that helps those deals get done. He could be that little more incentive that gets a GM to pull the trigger banking on his upside.

I like Crawford. I think he's part of the solution, and I think he can be had for a reasonable contract.

The issue I have with keeping Crawford for any length of time is that I think he needs to be in his current role -- primary ball-handler playing major minutes -- in order to thrive. 

I don't have much confidence in his ability to transition back into a reserve role, sometimes handling the ball and sometimes playing off it, and still manage the same kind of efficiency and team-friendly play.

I'm thinking if he plays well off the bench once Rondo returns, he could be in line for a contract slightly larger and perhaps a year longer than Nate Robinson's deal.  Does $7.5m for three years, with the third year as a player option, strike you as reasonable?

Does his history of being a bit of a malcontent in the locker room and a knucklehead on the court not make you more hesitant to call him part of the solution?

I'm loving this more mature Crawford. He seems to be more interested in the team game, which is great, but how long will it last?

I'd love to think that his is a long term change for him, but I'd say its equally likely that he returns to his old ways sooner rather than later. That's why I'd love to jump on any deal that brings back some value. There's a chance he isn't a member of this team next year, regardless of his play, since he is a free agent this summer.

I'd cash in as soon as possible, before the other shoe drops.

The history makes me hopeful he can be had as at a reasonably price. Guys his age, I'm typically inclined to give them a bit of a free pass -- and I'm hoping that being on a team with a strong top-down structure may make him to finally "get it", because the talent is undeniable.

I agree Crawford has found his niche'. It would have seemed imposible a few months ago but he is at his best as a PG and I dont think he is going to fit well with Rondo. This is why I think he should be traded before Rondo comes back.

I'm not sure why this should be the case. Crawford has spend most of his career coming off the bench, and has played pretty well in the process (that is, before he started butting heads with the hopeless Wizards brass). He has approximately the same per-minutes averages off the bench, and slightly better shooting.

If we're rolling the dice on the character issues, he can be just fine as the first guard off the bench.

I'm not gonna lie, at first glance I read the title wrong and was wondering if Crawford got charged with something. Hahahahahahaha

He looks the part most of the time he's on the court, doesn't he?

I disagree. Pressey is a better alternative as a backup pg. And cheaper

Once pressey develops a consistent shot, he will be a long term backup pg in the league
