Jamal Crawford remains to be one of the most in demand names in the free agent market today. For the 38-year-old, it appears that he has set his sights on the Philadelphia 76ers as a potential landing spot.
Crawford recently spoke with Brandon Robinson on Scoop B Radio, and discussed the possibility of taking his talents to the City of Brotherly Love.
“I think for me, especially being out there as a free agent, something could work out. I would be honored to play there, but things obviously have to take its course and I kind of got to sit back, but who wouldn’t want to play there?”
The three-time Sixth Man of the Year winner understands that a lot of things will need to be sorted out first before this prospect becomes a reality. Nonetheless, Crawford appeared to be keen on the idea, and went on to praise the city as well as the team.
“I like their city. I like how into it they are about basketball. I like their knowledge of basketball, how passionate they are. I’ve always loved coach Brett Brown. I’ve been on record. I’ve been a fan of his for years. He just needed talent, and now he has that. He added Ben Simmons, I love his game. I love JoJo. They’re both among my favorite players in the league to watch. Markelle is like a little brother to me. Obviously, he went to the University of Washington, and we talk every other day. J.J. Redick is like a brother to me, we’ve been through wars together, so there’s so many things to love about Philadelphia for sure.”
The Sixers could sure use the firepower Crawford is able to provide off the bench. Moreover, the knowledge he has gained throughout his 18-year NBA career is surely something the team can gain value from, most especially for its young core.
