As long as they can find a serviceable big man on the waiver wire, I think this is a good deal.

Crawford can fill it up - and should be instant offense.

another smart trade deadline move by DA. IOW, he didn't make a major move. He correctly understood that the C's best chance for #18 lies in keeping the core of his team together, rather than blow it up without suitable replacement personnel. That just didn't happen. So he made one move which should help this team get through the end of this season, without really giving up a key piece. It is what it is and I like it.

MrK

It is another good young role player they can start stocking their bench with.
No harm, no foul.
