Golden State Warriors: Buy or sell with 10 offseason targets
By Tony Pesta
9. Jae Crowder – Buy
Jae Crowder is in the final year of his $35 million dollar deal earned back when he was with the Boston Celtics – making him eligible to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
The Golden State Warriors will be looking to add a player of Crowders’ expertise. Crowder is a versatile wing that can impact the game in a number of ways. He won’t explode on offense – but he is a reliable shooter. He isn’t going to be a candidate for Defensive Player of the Year – but he can play All-NBA level defense at times.
Crowder has helped the Miami Heat in their push to the 4th best record in the Eastern Conference. His veteran presence and 11.7 points per game have been the boost they need off the bench.
The Warriors can sign Crowder with their $6 million dollar mid-level exception this offseason if he is willing to take a slight pay cut to join a title-contending team.
