How good/bad is Jordan Crawford? I remember him playing for the Celtics and Wizards, but I never really watched him.

Trade Whiteside

8-)

Not very good. Inefficient chucker that can score some but not really a good shooter and brings nothing else to the table.

He is untradable for now as he is probably the most undervalued player in the league. 8-)

Antony Davis for sure. Also KD no question. these 2 are probably the only ones I wouldn't even hesitate about.

Whiteside has 3 huge things going for him that really balloon his trade value for me :

1.He's a Center (hardest position to fill)
2.He's young (25 YO)
3.He's very very cheap for this year AND next year.

Would also add - He appreciates of the chance we gave him, there' a bond there.

Thinking about it objectively, Stephen Curry and Boggie Cousins are also players we should probably agree to accept for him. Both are young too. Maybe Clay.T too.

But that's about it for me. We shouldn't trade him Harden/Lebron/Irving/Pual/Lilard/ Aldridge/Westbrook ; given His position, age and potential, he's a very rare piece in todays NBA.

Whiteside, at his pay rate, is the most valuable person in the league. It would be INSANE to trade him unless we get to unload bad contracts (which we dont have outside Granger) or a buffet of picks/prospects.

Trade Whiteside for Jordan Crawford 8-)

I feel nauseous sometimes to think that Rio is owed 4 mil next year to showcase his talent and hinder our youth development, yet again.

Nice propaganda ! Did Rio give himself that contract ? Was Pat Riley forced to give him this contract ?
It's a system when you start from the bottom in term of salary, even if you are the greatest player in the world :nonono:

I think that we should def sign Jordan Crawford. He's officially available as is Blatche and perhaps, even Beasley. Imagine if we fielded a team of primarily NBA rejects and won the east... Spo would be considered God and every free agent would play at a staunch discount to play for his highness, king spotard.

I understand the signing due to the fact that Rio was more "plug and play" than other available free agents but I don't think that he was worth that amount. Darren Collison would have been a fine pickup as he was available for a similar amount IMO.

Again who gave him that contract ? Did he offer himself that contract or someone in the Heat Front Office offered him that contact ?
