37 years old. 6'5 Shooting guard. Vet presence. 3x sixth man of the year.  Would be nice to have if we ship out some of our guys which it seems is about to occur. We need a Sam Cassell /eddie house roleplayer

And here I thought Deron williams was old at 33. Lol. Deron would be nice to fill in too if we lose smart/bradley

That's nice.  Move along.

Another shooter? Bring him in at the min

If 2 of Bradley, Smart, and Crowder get moved, he would be a perfect addition. I would give him a decent three year deal. Like maybe 3 and 15

That's nice.  Move along.

Same.  Plus, I thought that he wanted to go play for the Lakers primarily due to Lonzo Ball, so what changed?

Ask Lavar.

Crawford is super close with IT, and also with Bradley, due to the Sea-Tac connection.  He's like an older brother to IT, so I could see the attractiveness to Boston from a personal standpoint.  I don't know the amount of minutes he could get, but he'd be terrific for the locker room, and having someone who can just get hot and take over a quarter is a great thing to have on the bench.

Here's one of many stories about Crawford, Thomas, and Bradley.  Pretty much every time we played the Clippers the last two years a version of this appeared on some media outlet.

I think he ends up in Cleveland.  Not sure that would be the best move for Cleveland, but it seems like a move they would make and if he is just taking Deron Williams minutes it probably does make them better.

That really only makes sense if two of Bradley, Smart, and Rozier go. If not, we don't have any real need for him.

"Celtics express interest in Crawford"
Article doesn't explain that though

This signing just got 100x more realistic

Really wouldn't mind the good vet presence he'd provide, plus the ability to light it up for stretches.

I don't know. He's pretty good friends with IT, and he'd bring much needed shooting and scoring off the bench for us.

Can you imagine Crawford and IT4 on the floor at the same time??

No defense plus others dont get to shoot the ball

TP for the link to that article.  I had no background on Crawford.
