Jamal Crawford reportedly will decline his player option and become a free agent after one season with the Timberwolves. The 38-year-old veteran guard signed a two-year, $9 million last offseason and was pretty much as advertised for Minnesota this past year.
He was a great guy to deal with, and I appreciated his candor while addressing social justice issues. He played fewer minutes than he was accustomed to (a shade over 20 per game, when his career average is a shade under 30, which might be part of why he is opting out) but when he did play he scored at a familiar rate: 17.
