Jordan Crawford waived by New Orleans

[kmcrawfo]

would like to see the Celtics sign him on. They need some more scoring and outside shooting following Gordon hayward's injury

What the heck? I just watched the Pelicans-Warriors game last night. He scored 13 points and had 7 assists. He was a regular in their rotation.

His contract wasn’t guaranteed and they signed Jameer in wake of needing a PG after Rondo going down.

Regardless, stupid move considering they literally have nobody who can score besides Boogie and AD

[MHettel]

What's up with that?

Makes no sense. He's in the rotation. Why not waive some guy that doesn't play?

They signed Jameer Nelson today.

Wonder if they will try to bring him back later????

He was the only player on the roster who was not on a guaranteed contract.

Well, I wonder what factors came into play there? I can guess one!

Man that sucks. I thought he was doing a lot better and that team was a good match for him. Boston could be one option, but the Clippers should consider him too. Maybe even the Lakers too. At this point, he's not likely to get guaranteed money. But he could be a solid rotation guy in the right system.

[bleedXblue]

he will get picked up.....

He will. Team will save money. Then after season ends a team MIGHT sign him to a guaranteed contract.

Did Ed Sumner get a guaranteed contract?

Two way contract

[GoMuskies]

Does that guarantee him at least the D-League money for the year?

I think this explains it pretty well

So $75k min. Not crazy money, but a pretty good first job out of college.

Crawford seemed more worried about the new shoes he bought than the fact he lost job...odd guy

I don't think he's hurting for cash.

The New Orleans Pelicans are reportedly adding Josh Smith even though he hasn't played in a regular-season NBA game since 2015-16.

On Wednesday, Shams Charania of The Vertical reported "Smith plans to sign with New Orleans under an injury hardship exception."

According to Bobby Marks of ESPN, New Orleans is able to use the exception because Smith's contract is non-guaranteed compared to the guaranteed deal Jameer Nelson signed with the team.

and you wonder why some organizations have a hard time winning

[GIMMFD]

Lol and I thought the Browns were the dumbest front office around.. Jordan will be lighting it up somewhere soon, I have zero doubts about that.

[MHettel]

Ok, to make sure I have this right. He got cut because he had a non-guaranteed contract, and they needed a PG due to injury problems, and that in turn became Jameer on a guaranteed deal. Then they got an exemption to a rule to add a player temporarily, and that became Josh Smith? Not Crawford? Was this a position need? Or just the reality that smith will only hang around until they get an injured player back?

What’s next for Crawford now? Did I get this right?

Drafted by Nets, traded immediately to hawks. Plays about 1 year for each of Hawks, wiz, Celts, and then a shorter stint with GSW, and another now with NO. What a weird career. Will he stick somewhere? First big injury and Crawford is in the rotation somewhere.

How about the Celts again?

Well, maybe the playoffs. The Pels aren't exactly a playoff lock.
