Feature: Sixers might be interested in Crawford [19659007] Few NBA players have the reputation of scoring in a reserve role that Jamal Crawford has. The 18-year-old NBA veteran turned down his option with the Minnesota Timberwolves a few weeks ago and is an unrestricted free agent this summer.
Crawford may have a pretender at the Eastern Conference, it seems, according to Keith Pompey of Philly.com ( via Twitter ):
The # Sixers expressed some interest in acquiring @JCrossover in free agency, according to sources. As I tweeted it a few moments ago, it would be a great addition if they could get it.
With about $ 13 million remaining in ceiling space, @JCrossover makes a lot of sense for #Sixers in free agency. In addition to helping the bench, the Sixers would get another much needed shooter and a great leader. Let's face it, the #Sixers need some of his caliber after losing Belinelli
The Sixers have not managed to get along with Marco Belinelli, which Philadelphia added late in the season. Belinelli reportedly reached an agreement with the San Antonio Spurs shortly after the opening of the free agency. Crawford has won the Kia Sixth Man Award three times in his career and is the winner of the Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year Award.

The Golden State Warriors, like the rest of the world of the NBA, watched as unrestricted free agent LeBron James reportedly reached an agreement to join the Los Angeles Lakers. In addition to that, the reigning champion Warriors also saw his own great free player, JaVale McGee, also leading the Lakers,
Although McGee's departure was not a counter-striker for the Warriors, and The resupply of the Lakers has told Golden State that he can not just settle for pat in the Western Conference. According to Mark Medina of The Mercury News the Warriors can have an eye on some veterans in the pool of autonomous players:
Can the Warriors find any other improvements elsewhere?
They remain interested in recruiting Avery Bradley, the goaltender of the Los Angeles Clippers, who could help the wing of the team with his perimeter defense and offensive aggression. Although he has played only 46 games last year with Detroit and the Clippers due to an injury caused by a sports hernia, Bradley, 27, would have been reinstated . The Warriors would also like to acquire Tyreke Evans, the Memphis shooter, after scoring an average of 19.2 points out of a total of 45.2%. 5.1 rebounds and 5.2 badists last season.
As for the veteran's minimal possibilities, the Warriors consider veteran Jamal Crawford to be the most coveted. Crawford is going to receive offers and see how they compare with both his role and salary, something that may not be clear until the light emerges on James' future and if the San Antonio Spurs exchange Kawhi Leonard. But Crawford, 38, had his lonely season with the Warriors in 2008-09 and would help the team with a reliable secondary score and leadership in the locker room.
