Bucks, Heat still interested in Jae Crowder
The Bucks and Heat are also among the teams that remain interested in Phoenix’s Jae Crowder, but Crowder’s exile from the Suns in anticipation of a trade is approaching four months. That raises questions for potential suitors, as well as the Suns if they ever decide to try to bring Crowder back, about how long it will take the 32-year-old to acclimatize to a team and the state of his conditioning more than halfway through the season.

Bucks fans seem to generally support the work I did as pretend general manager today at @TheAthletic.
Should the Bucks trade for Jae Crowder? How much should they give up for him?

The Bucks have been connected to Jae Crowder for a while, so I got together with @Kelly Iko and @Doug Haller to see if we could figure out a three-team deal between the Bucks, Rockets and Suns.

Jae Crowder is frustrated.
Eric Gordon is frustrated.
What if there was a three-team trade that satisfied all parties?
There might be, but finding a resolution could take a bit of work. New for @The Athletic w/ @Eric Nehm and @Doug Haller

More on this storyline
Given that Jae Crowder‘s time away from the Suns is approaching the four-month mark, his potential trade suitors have questions about how long it would take him to get acclimated and to get his conditioning back to 100% if he eventually reports to a team this season. -via marcstein.substack.com / January 21, 2023

Jae Crowder: “I will continue to prepare myself daily for battle once the call is made and continue to be a leader on the court, locker room, as well as off the court. I am thankful my teammates appreciated my leadership. I’m confused and hurt my coaches didn’t appreciate the things I brought to our team and organization. And this has nothing to do with financial or contract differences.” -via Bleacher Report / January 13, 2023
