亚历克斯·肯尼迪ofHoopsWorld.com reportsthat Portland Trail Blazers guard Jamal Crawford is back on the trading block as expected after the two sides agreed to extend his deadline to opt-out of his contractearlier this month. -------------------------------------- Jamal Crawford – The Portland Trail Blazers are actively shopping Jamal Crawford. If they don’t find a deal for Crawford by draft night, they will lose him for nothing because he will opt-out and become an unrestricted free agent on June 29. Portland extended the deadline for him to opt-out so that they could shop him and try to facilitate a trade. If they’re able to find a trade partner that Crawford deems suitable, he’ll opt-in to the final year of his contract and make $5 million next season. Several teams expressed interest in Crawford leading up to last season’s trade deadline so it’s possible that Portland finds a last-minute deal and receives something in return for the 32-year-old guard. --------------------------------------ed: text edited, bumped to front page
