2018-19 NBA Preview: 5 free agents who could still make a difference

#3 Jamal Crawford

Minnesota Timberwolves v Golden State Warriors

Aged 38 now, it was surprising to see Crawford decline the nearly $5 million player option he had on his deal with the Timberwolves for the 2018-19 season. Given that nearly every team was capped out this summer, it is not as much of a surprise now to see that the 3-time Sixth Man of the Year award winner is yet to sign a new contract for the upcoming season.

Every single team in the league can make do with a player with Crawford's 17-season experience in the league, and as a featured scorer off the bench, he is still capable of leading the offense for most teams. Among teams with the cap space to sign him, the Jazz look like the best fit at the moment - they could be a Conference Finals contender this year if they do sign him, for their bench is starved of featured scorers.
