Not mad at this but ion think he would want to come off the bench
— Top2Not2👨🏽🍳 (@Iknowsports3k) November 24, 2022
Hot take: getting him is much more important than Jakob Poeltl. We need a 3 and D wing more than a big and getting poeltl would mean that we’ll be asking looney to step aside as the starting center, especially after he took that discount deal with us…

Suns aren't gonna trade with us lol

We need him

We definitely need the on court toughness but the boy just has a short fuse. Jot sure if that’s a benefit or detriment for this squad

There’s no chance they trade him in the Western Conference

He already hates the Suns. This could work.

The fans were mostly happy with the trade rumor. Many fans commented that Crowder would be a great addition to their team. While others tended to show their concern about whether the Suns would trade Crowder to a team in the Western Conference and help them get stronger. Overall, the news seemed to give a ray of hope to the Warriors fans after their poor start.
Can Jae Crowder help Stephen Curry and the Warriors?

The Warriors play good basketball with an aim to develop youngsters. However, the new season has been a struggle from their recent performances. In a time when they are struggling, Stephen Curry is playing at his usual best. From delivering constant masterclasses to carrying the team on his shoulder, the 34-year-old is doing everything in his power. However, he definitely needs some help alongside him.

Hence, the addition of the power forward could prove to be useful for them. With an experience of ten years, Crowder would make an instant impact on the squad by mentoring the youngsters and his defense. He could help the reigning champions get back on track with his abilities on both ends of the court and experience.
