Could Suns Trade Jae Crowder to Milwaukee in Exchange for Grayson Allen?
In this story:
The Phoenix Suns and forward Jae Crowder agreed before the season that he would be able to stay away from the team until they found a new landing location for him.
However, nearly two months have passed since this agreement, and Crowder is still waiting to find another team.
A recent report says the Suns have recently resumed trade talks with teams for Crowder's services. One of the teams that has shown some interest in Crowder are the Milwaukee Bucks, whom are looking to unload forward Grayson Allen, according to Jake Fischer.
"The Bucks’ interest in Crowder is well known, and Milwaukee has called numerous teams about Grayson Allen’s trade prospects, sources said. Salary-wise, the two wings do fit a direct one-for-one swap, sending Crowder to the new home he desires, and yielding Phoenix the rotation piece its seeking in return for Crowder."
It has been reported that Crowder wants out of Phoenix because he has taken out the starting lineup in favor for Cam Johnson. However, Crowder shared with Chris Haynes that narrative painted about him is not true.
“Honestly, this is unfamiliar ground for me, I’m in my 11th year and I’ve always been in camp and started the year off with my team. The business of basketball is taking its course and changes have come. I do not want to get into details just yet, but it’s definitely not true of the narrative being pushed about me starting or not. I can honestly say that I’ve had two great years with my teammates and the fans in Phoenix. I do not take that for granted, I’m forever grateful for the moments we shared.”
After Haynes report, Reggie Miller shared that Crowder being away from his team is because of his future is in limbo with an expiring contract.
As for the Suns, they are 8-4 after Friday's 114-97 loss to the Orlando Magic.
