Cleveland Cavaliers Land Jae Crowder
Phoenix Suns Receive: G/F Caris LeVert
Cleveland Cavaliers Receive: F Jae Crowder, F Torrey Craig
What’s better than acquiring one three-and-D wing? How about two three-and-D wings?
Of course, the main return here is Crowder. While he hasn’t suited up for the Suns this season, it feels safe to assume that his low-maintenance brand of basketball will be intact whenever he gets moved.
Meanwhile, Craig is a solid rotational wing too. If the Cavs are serious about upgrading their wing rotation, they couldn’t do any better than this.
At the same time, the Suns could stand to upgrade their shot creation.

As Chris Paul ages, he’s able to carry a less significant offensive burden. LeVert is a capable shot creator who can help ease it.
On the other hand, the Cavs may prefer to hold onto LeVert. In that case, they’ll prefer this next deal.
