hes a free agent this summer and pretty sure atl isnt going to bring him back. could fit well in portland...shooter and can play some point.what you guys think?
A lot of this FA depends on if there is a MLE in the new CBA. If not we really have no way to get anyone unless it is in a sign and trade. If there is a new MLE i'd give him it for 4 years, need a good shooter to replace rudy.
He is one of the best we would have access too in the FA, and an avg 3 shooter off the bench would be nice. If we could somehow get Marrow for cheap and just stick him at the 3 point line that would be the best.
I'm not wild about Crawford, however he is a pretty good player and I do think he could be somewhat complimentary to the other players on our roster. But, the real catch is that there would have to be some pretty serious follow-up type moves if he was signed in the off-season (probably waiving Roy and/or trading one or two of Batum/Rudy/Matthews/Wallace), and because of the looming lockout, the future of the MLE and how free agency will be handled on the other side it's way too early to speculate about where he (or anybody else for that matter) will be going.
His shot selection can be frusterating. I agree its ciritical for us to add someone who can bury an open three, but I don't want a marginal player taking over the offense when it should be based off our forwards going inside.
To elaborate on what I said before, the guy can get scorching hot and really carry a team at times. But most of the time hes a low FG% chucker. He absolutely refuses to penetrate to the rim even though the guy has a GREAT handle. Even when he shakes his man he always pulls up for the mid-range J because he doesn't want to go into the paint. Not a great finisher either but his mid-range game sucks too lol. Horrid defense as well and while he'll make some nice passes now and then he mostly kills ball movement. Like I said, can be a positive contributor as a sixth man but if hes your starter hes a negative. He is pretty clutch though.
