Suns attempting to exchange Jae Crowder, who isn't answering to camp!
3 aspects to focus on for Phoenix Suns media day
The Phoenix Suns and Jae Crowder have concurred that the veteran forward won't answer to instructional course when it begins on Monday, August 26, as the club endeavors to exchange him, as indicated by different reports.
The 32-year-old Crowder is entering the last time of a three-year bargain. He is scheduled to acquire $10.1 million this season.
On Sunday, Crowder conveyed a post on Twitter trying to make sense of his side of the question.
"One should look for work where he is needed … where he is required!" composed Crowder, who essentially posts in all covers.
"I'm grateful for what these beyond two years have instructed me. Presently, I should take on one more test with proceeded with difficult work and devotion. For those of you who shut the entryway on me … much obliged! 99 back soon!"
1. Jae Crowder
It’s official. The veteran forward won’t be at training camp as player and franchise work on a trade deal. How we’ve got to this point is fascinating, and fans should be given further clarification on Monday. Crowder has already given his version, though it remains somewhat cryptic.
Secondly, do we get confirmation that Cameron Johnson is simply the Suns new starting power-forward? If that isn’t established, then perhaps that indicates something on the horizon from a trade standpoint, given the lack of alternative options currently on the roster.
Robert Sarver
Media day interviews have already begun for opposition teams, with some players being asked about the Sarver situation in Phoenix. Finals MVP Stephen Curry emphatically stated that “the outcome was exactly what should have happened.”
How Phoenix players respond will be fascinating – An opposition player like Curry has freewheel to share his honest opinion, while Suns players may rightfully feel constrained by the fact Sarver remains their employer for the moment.
Deandre Ayton
Lost in the wash of the Crowder and Sarver storylines, Ayton’s precarious relationship with the franchise has been a subject that’s began wandering into the sunset.
Hopefully that remains, that both sides move forward without any ill-feelings from contract negotiations and his benching at the end of last season’s playoff disaster. However, there’ll most certainly be further questions about it, and of Ayton’s game itself following concerns on his preparation and work ethic.
You can watch Suns media day on the NBA’s livestream here from 9am Pacific time on Monday.
