Jae Crowder would provide a nice lift to the Phoenix Suns

In this first-round matchup, the Heat have significantly more unrestricted free agents than the Pacers, and unless the Phoenix Suns consider bringing back Goran Dragic for the third time, most of them are not worth pursuing.

The exception to this is Jae Crowder. Since coming over from the Grizzlies, Crowder has provided a tremendous boost as a role player for the Heat. He has put up 11.8 points per game and is knocking down his 3s at a 44.5 percent clip.

He put up 17 points against the Phoenix Suns in the bubble and I’m curious to see how he plays throughout the playoffs for the Heat. Judging his free agency value is tough, but a sound veteran like Crowder would be a tremendous asset to the Suns if they can get him for a decent price.

Plus, it would be cool to see a #99 Suns jersey.

Enjoy the playoffs. This might be the last year you see them without the Phoenix Suns involved.
