There are very few free agents that can make an impact still available in the NBA but there are a few valuable players including guard Jordan Crawford. Crawford, who was traded from the Boston Celtics to the Golden State Warriors last season, is a very talented scorer.

Charlie Adams of Hoops Rumors points out the Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks and Brooklyn Nets have all had various degrees of interest in Crawford.

"Several squads were said to have interest in the former first-rounder, with the Bulls, Mavericks, Lakers, Knicks, and Nets all being mentioned as possible suitors. Since more than a couple of those teams have now supplemented their backcourts with other players, a question arises: why hasn’t Crawford found a team? It’s possible that the Creative Artists Agency client is holding out for more than the minimum salary, which is the most any of those clubs could offer him, as Hoops Rumors details. However, his lack of playing time in Golden State might have hindered his chances at drawing anything above that sum, so he might need to settle on such an amount."

Crawford averaged 11.0 points, 3.5 assists and 2.3 rebounds per game this season while shooting 41.5% from the field, 31.6% from three and 86.4% from the free throw line. In the postseason, he went for just 6.2 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.3 assists in just 9.5 minutes per game while shooting 36.4% from the floor, 28.6% from beyond the arc and 78.6% from the charity stripe. Crawford has played for the Atlanta Hawks, Washington Wizards, Celtics and Warriors in his four-year career. He’s averaged 12.2 points, 3.2 assists and 2.6 rebounds per game while shooting 40.5% from the floor, 30.6% from beyond the arc and 82.8% from the free throw line.
