The writing is on the wall and it’s clear that Jae Crowder has played his last game for the Phoenix Suns.
A few days ago, news leaked that Crowder wouldn’t attend training camp with the team as the franchise attempted to find a new franchise to trade him to.
Apparently, Crowder is well aware of his inevitable and is eager to move onto a team that wants him.

So far, it sounds like at least four teams want him.
The latest rumors say that the Boston Celtics, Memphis Grizzlies, Dallas Mavericks, and Miami Heat are all interested in trading for Crowder.
It’s interesting that the four teams who are looking to land Crowder all had him before.
This shows that the squads thinking of getting Crowder know just what he can bring and are eager to work with him again.
What’s Next For Crowder?
During his last season, Crowder averaged 9.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.9 assists.
He started in all 67 games he played in and became an important part of the team’s lineup.
He angers a lot of people in the NBA because of his attitude and, frankly, his threat on both sides of the floor.
But he’s a strong player and that means he could acquire some serious talent for the Suns in any trade.
Yet, will a trade get Phoenix the sort of player they need?
They want someone who is a two-way threat, with perhaps more of an emphasis on defense.
It remains to be seen who will be offered by Boston, Memphis, Dallas, or Miami.
Each team has played with Crowder and they want him back, which bodes well for his future in the league.
It’s just unclear what they are willing to send to get him.
