Could Crawford become a Celtic?

10:34 AM ET 05.15 | Jamal Crawford earned $10 million in the final year of his deal with the Hawks and is now a free agent. He should be one of the more attractive players on the market because of his ability to score off the bench. Crawford is 31 and said he wants to play at least five more years. The question is whether he would take a mid-level exception -- if that exists under the new collective bargain agreement -- from a team such as the Celtics. Crawford clamored for an extension from the frugal Hawks but the club didn't bite. He is the type of player who would interest the Celtics, and he would likely listen if it meant a chance at competing for a title.

He is going for money. Even if the team is contending but can't provide him what he wants then he will turn that down. It's his only chance to make the big bucks now. He will help any contending team next year. Hawks can't afford him now. The Bulls could be a perfect fit. He goes back to the team that drafted him...

Nah... you don't want him on your team. Watching the Hawks showed me he hasn't changed a bit. HE IS USELESS ON DEFENSE. He won't survive training camp in Chicago or Boston. I can see Timberwolves and Cleveland fighting for him but a top flight team that wants to win a championship needs to stay clear off him....

You never know man, being in the same locker room as KG might light a fire under his a$$.

If you live in the same house with Gloria James would you get ugly? The guy has never played defense. How the hell do you expect him to change his ways in his 30's?

Early results indicate that free agents named Crawford don't find success in Boston

Since he only likes to shoot and plays little defense.....he sounds like a perfect fit for a Knicks return....

Yes we all know that but if y're Boston with one of the best shooters in history under contract In Ray Alen why the hell would you want a washed up Crawford that's way past the peak.
I don't even think he deserves the full mid level exception. Boston's got Big Baby and Delonte to deal with... Crawford is at best an after thought...

Boston's biggest issue is health and the inability to keep up in high scoring games. a guy like Crawford off the bench could be a big boost

Boston should sign J.R Smith rather than Crawford.
Worst case scenario Richard Hamilton or Anthony Parker...
Which is why it is a worst case scenario...they need to get younger.
J.R Smith ain't 30 yet.

The bulls didn't want him, the warriors and knicks had to trade him and now the hawks won't extend him...
That says it all.

The Celtic's don't need another 30 something year old.
