@WojVerticalNBA: RT @ShamsCharania: Pelicans guard Jordan Crawford has agreed to a two-year deal with New Orleans, bypassing a second 10-day, league sources...

Figured they would try to get him signed to a 2 year deal after next 10 day. Good move.

Here's a good interview with Crawford a little before he signed with the Pels and you can tell he's not the same guy that 5 years ago said he felt he could be better than Michael Jordan

quote:

My first time in the NBA, I was just all basketball. When I was in the NBA, I just wanted to be the best player, I wanted to prove people wrong. I was just locked in into the game of basketball. I was not really juggling both basketball and the business side. Now I’m just enjoying life, being healthy, being young, this really slowed me down on and off the court. I improved a lot in every decision I make, also in basketball.

... I improved each year and the past two years I improved too, as a player and as a person. Now I pick my spots on the court better and understand what I want on the floor. Now I know when to turn on and when to turn off, when to score, when to distribute the ball. It just makes the game a lot smoother, it comes a lot easier. It shows in overall basketball IQ.

Good move. I'm assuming it's some sort of option for the second year that allows them to easily part ways if the Pels need additional roster/cap space in the offseason.

5 game sample size, but I agree. He doesn't force bad shots and dishes it out. You could point a handful of times a game where a shoot first mentality, he would have pulled the trigger on a bad shot.

thought he was older ... glad i was wrong about that.
even if he regresses back to his 2013-14 Boston efficiency, he'll be a great bench option for us. Price has got to be near min. Nice move.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't a minimum deal that was unguaranteed next year. The incentive for Crawford to sign something like that is if he makes it work we have his Early Bird Rights after next year and he can get some of that Ajinca money.

Per Shams, it's only guaranteed through this season. Guarantee date this Summer for 17-18.

Nice deal for the Pels.

Great move by Demps. Get him while he's cheap as dirt. He's the type of Depth we need if we're going to get better.

So I just found out Jordan Crawford is not related to Jamal Crawford... They look alike and play alike, so I always assumed.

Did anyone else think they were brothers or related in some way?

No, but I thought Anthony Davis was related to Geena Davis for the longest

DeMarcus Cousins and Kirk Cousins are half brothers.
