I'm not sure I agree. This smells a lot like the Jim Jackson signing waaaay back in the day. Everyone thought he was washed up and he gave the Suns a really good year (before falling off a cliff in the second).

Crawford's a solution for shoring up the bench, though. He's not a starter.
Jackson was 4 years younger then, than Crawford is now. Four years is a LONG time in basketball years, especially when one if under 35 and one is over.

128 pages this offseason. Tomorrow this thread will be done. :)
And not even a counting thread this year. :)
There's still time. Will someone be bold enough to create one ...?

Craw still got it!

Seriously, he doesn't age and can still shoot from anywhere. And he's got sick handles.

Shut up! At least I have the Knicks bet to counteract and that's looking good so far.

Isn't it a little early to proclaim this a sub-29-win team?

We are currently about 26 wins shy of that goal.

Check your math, OG.

What? 26+1 would be 27, which makes us a sub-29 win team. Goal met.

Mild hamstring strain for Booker, per Gambo. Day-to-day. Good news, I guess.

Kinda hope he doesnt force it, hamstrings are a fickle mistress.

Keep him out the next two games, that'll be a week. Give Crawford the run and try and get Bridges some minutes.

I’d rather he follow the advice of his doctors than folks on phx-suns.net. Keep him out as long as his doctors think he should be out.

Are you on the Zion train, INF? I am very curious to hear your thoughts about him.

I don't have any deep insights or detailed analysis of him or just about any of the prospects yet, but from what I've seen he really looks like a force who is going to be relentless.
