For months now, Jae Crowder has sat at home while the Phoenix Suns looked for a suitable trade partner to add him.
The talkative star has remained mostly pretty silent during this time and fans wondered where he would end up.
Late Wednesday night, he was sent packing to the Brooklyn Nets as part of the gigantic Kevin Durant deal.
But it turns out that won’t be his final destination.

The Milwaukee Bucks are trading for Crowder and are sending five second-round draft picks to the Nets for him.
This means that after months of speculation, Crowder is not only coming back to the NBA but he is going to be performing for one of the most competitive teams in the league.
It also means that the Nets just acquired a slew of draft picks.
It’s uncommon for one player to be traded for five picks.
Even though the selections are for the second round, they are still very important and can help the Nets out a lot.
This is good news for Brooklyn because the team is at a crossroads after losing both Kyrie Irving and Durant within the span of a few days.
These coveted draft picks will help them formulate a future.
As for Crowder, he should immediately give the Bucks a more offensive edge.
It might take him some time to get back into the swing of things but he could make the team stronger.
The question is if he will be a starter or a bench player.
Part of the dispute between Crowder and the Suns was over his role within the team so will that be something that creates a problem in Milwaukee as well?
