Wizards and Suns have discussed Jae Crowder trade
“There’s been some chatter about them looking at a guy like Jae Crowder,” said Brian Windhorst on his podcast. “I’m pretty confident there’s been some discussions between the Wizards and the Suns. “We’ve been talking about Jae Crowder now for about two months. It’s obvious it’s a hard trade to pull off. The Wizards have a bunch of guys who make decent salaries on their roster they can use in a trade.”

“Nah, nothing new with Jae.”
Asked about the Jae Crowder situation, James Jones said for him, it’s about team and being able to find the right fit on a trade. The Suns just haven’t found the right one yet pic.twitter.com/tXZTiEnO0p – 4:56 PM

James Jones said today that Chris Paul is close to returning and he will be back.
On the Jae Crowder front, said they will eventually get a deal done. That day will come. Just waiting for the right fit.
I’ll have a story later today with more. – 4:53 PM

Incredible the Suns are so good without CP3, Johnson, or Crowder. Devin Booker is playing the best basketball of his life, Deandre Ayton and Mikal Bridges are better too, tons of other guys playing with an edge. Major bubble/Finals run energy in Phoenix. – 12:27 AM

cam johnson (8 gp) and cp3 (10 gp) have each missed at least half the season.
jae crowder isn’t with the team.
torrey craig is *fourth* on the team in total minutes.
the suns still have the best record in the west—and a top 7 offense/defense.
that’s, um, pretty damn absurd. – 12:27 AM

More on this storyline
Jae Crowder hasn’t played in an NBA game since May 15 when Dallas took Phoenix apart in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals at Footprint Center. The veteran forward and the Suns “mutually agreed” he wouldn’t attend training camp as they’ve been trying to trade him. There’s a perception in some circles the longer Crowder is out, the harder it’ll be to move him. Suns General Manager James Jones lives in a different reality. “Jae is a good player and he’d help any team and teams know that,” Jones said. -via Arizona Republic / November 30, 2022
“It’s the NBA,” Jones said. “Timing. There aren’t any perfect times. There’s no window where they say, hey, all deals are done here. We have natural deadlines like the trade deadline where we usually have a flurry of deals, but other than that, it’s just finding the right fit and we just haven’t been able to find that yet.” -via Arizona Republic / November 30, 2022
Jones admitted he’s obviously keeping tabs on the latest with the ownership situation, but for now, Crowder is the pressing issue at hand. Unfortunately, little has changed over the last few weeks, as Jones said there’s “nothing new” with Crowder. “Just haven’t been able to get a deal done,” he said. “It’s the NBA, right? Timing, there are there aren’t any perfect times. Like, there’s no window where they say ‘Hey, all deals are done here.’ We have natural deadlines, like the trade deadline, where you usually have a flurry of deals, but other than that, it’s just finding the right fit, and we just haven’t been able to find that yet.” -via gophnx.com / November 29, 2022
