No thanks.
I am lukewarm on Crowder.
In theory, I like having a 3rd guy to rotate with DFS and RB. Crowder seems like a Kidd type.
But Crowder's wanting a starting spot (which the Mavs don't have to offer). And he's on an expiring deal, so he's just a rental probably. So more likely imo, the value to get him would probably just be a different expiring for an ensuing trade than Powell.
He doesn't fill the biggest hole at all, one which will be filled SOMEHOW, which is the need for the 3rd playmaker.
I can get to a trade that I would do -- Crowder for Powell. Nothing else. Suns save a bit, and move from a malcontent. Money-wise, and asset-wise, it works for me.
But since Powell is getting no minutes, Crowder lands here without a way to get on the floor. So maybe he's only valuable as a better expiring filler later on than Powell would be.
