He's a hidden gem. Playing a lot at PG position this season with starter minutes and posted PER above Lin/Bev right now. Don't be confused with his career stats, because he's undersized as a SG, but has size advantage as PG. His improved and quite good Assist/TO ratio this season shows he may have turned himself into a starting quality PG in this league. Salary wise he's on level with DMo and would be a steal straight up for Dmo. On the court I see him playing PG and Bev playing SG in situations.
Wow. I've never seen his assessment so off. He's a small SG period. Doesn't have as much vision as fringe PG and doesn't play like one frankly. He's a gunner similar to Nick Young. I'd love him to play next to Pat but Jordan can not run an offense at all. I've watched him try that and fail in Washington.
The Nick young comparison is spot on. Even when he puts up numbers he's usually been chucking. I do think he'd be more efficient on a better team but that's neither here nor there. Lmao @ dmo/brewer for avery Bradley. Why the HELL would Boston do that
He can pass don't get me wrong but he can't run an offense. Those are two different things. I don't mind turnovers from point guards sometimes. Hell, I don't mind the turnovers Lin gets everyone in a while because he's trying to make plays. Crawford is the scorer we need off the bench and would fit well with Lin running second unit.
I haven't seen him play a lot but when i read Celtics fans comments(sb nation), they say that he cannot run a play and now want him benched because Bayless had a couple of good games ... of course he has 5.7 assists per game but doesn't mean he has good court vision , also his shot selection is bad. I don't want him. someone with more knowledge about him would be helpful.
AJ has been retired for years. Good guy, tho. Was even a Rocket once. Perhaps you meant young Mr Bradley?
He has shown ability to play both positions depending on situations. I'd just be glad to get a quality rotation player rather than DMo on the bench.
JorCraw has been impressive this year, not only in his role but the way he matured into being able to take the role. I like the guy. For DMo? No, no. DMo gets no burn here but we'll be shedding crocodile tears when he does develop elsewhere, and he will. And will Crawford get paid by the Rox next season? Methinx Vex has pulled this out of his XL arse (unless part of a larger OA deal with Danny's boys). And then likely he stepped in crap and came out OK on his call.
hes on an expiring contract, dmo wants out so if this is the best thing on the market for him morey may do it, dmo trade value is just going down more & more with him on the bench. Too many guards if you ask me, If he could play SF also would be better. When bev comes back harden can get more rest with the 3 guard rotation back in effect, still will have brooks & canaan not even getting minutes.
There's simply too much chatter between the Rockets and Celtics for something not to eventually get done.
Translation: 2014 Draft isn't looking so attractive for teams. Some of those young guys are struggling. If there is any truth to the rumor it means the two teams had a discussion during the Rockets' visit to Boston. IT would make sense for Boston if they were going to move Rondo somewhere and unload his 11.9 mill a year salary. Boston was probably impressed with Lin and a Lin/Bradley backcourt would be as good as any in the league, certainly in the Eastern Conference. Morey probably wants Bradley but I doubt Boston is giving him up after investing so much in training him to be an effective 2-way player. Also takes too many mid-range jumpers for Morey's liking. So Crawford for Lin is a nice upgrade for Boston, assuming Rondo ends up somewhere else too. I really don't know what it gives Houston, but if Houston is looking to dump the contract it might make sense.
More chatter, and a trade might not even involve Assik. http://www.celticsblog.com/2014/1/15/5310762/nba-trade-rumor-jordan-crawford-close-to-being-traded
That's true, but I'm expecting when Beverly comes back, Lin goes back to the bench to be the main scoring punch for the second unit while Bev provides more perimeter D. I'd approve of Crawford though.
What ev... I just dont want to give up anything of value for him. Jordan could give a nice spark off the bench, but he can also be someone who kills ball movement on the offensive end, and kill you on defense. Worth a gamble at a minimal cost but if Ainge starts talking draft picks.... phhefff.... get outa here.
