Shams: Crowder to Bucks for five 2nd round picks

I think Seth gets moved for 2-3 second rounders. There's just zero sense to keep him given where we are now.

So we didn’t get 5. We got 2 and the pacers stepped into this deal. Got 3 and 3 players ? I’m confused. And they got ibaka.

They're waiving Ibaka. We took 2 2nds, cut tax & increased our TPE. Pacers took back 3 2nds.

Ibaka to Brooklyn as a wink wink deal?

Meets a need for us, and he gets some guaranteed minutes to increase value for his next contract. I think he's washed but winning games isn't our highest priority anyway.

No. Try out some G-Leaguers.

This is the right answer.

This is the first season I can remember with no teams looking at 10 day contracts, though.

We had a stud in Donovan Williams on the LI Nets and let him go far too early. We better not make that mistake with Craig Randle.

Would Crowder have been helpful here at all or nah? Tbh I haven't followed much Suns basketball recently, but has he fallen off or something?

He would’ve but I recently learned he had issues with Cam Johnson starting over him in Phoenix which also led to the Suns not playing or paying him. Definitely couldn’t keep both on the same team anywhere.

We have a glut of 3/4s, Why keep a disgruntled older one? Is he playing over DFS, Johnson, O'Neale or Simmons? Would he be that much better?

ah ok, so he's been disgruntled and had issues with CJ.
Makes sense now.

If he sat out on a team that just made the Finals, why would he consider playing for a newly made, but drama filled non-contender? The last thing we need is more drama between a player and Joe Tsai.
