The Phoenix Suns keep making moves this offseason and they have landed forward Jae Crowder. The 30-year-old player spent the last season with the Memphis Grizzlies and Miami Heat, reaching the Finals with Jimmy Butler and co. in the Orlando bubble. It was unclear if he was going to return to the Heat and now we know he’s headed to Arizona to join a very interesting team.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Crowder will sign a 3-year, $30 million deal with the Suns.

Crowder showed an improved game in the bubble, even shooting 3s with ease during the Heat’s magical run to the Finals. He’s ready to bring that talent to Phoenix and help a team with huge expectations entering the 2020/21 season.

The Suns recently landed Chris Paul via trade and Crowder is another good option for them. The depth of this team will be one of the best in the league next season.
