Why Heat Should Attempt to Bring Back Jae Crowder Amid NBA Trade Rumors

Jae Crowder's time with the Miami Heat was brief, but he made a substantial impact. The forward played 20 regular-season games for the team late in the 2019-20 campaign, then helped the Heat reach the NBA Finals in the Orlando bubble at the end of that season.

After that, Crowder signed with the Phoenix Suns, and he's been a big reason for their recent success. He's played 127 games and made 109 starts over the past two seasons, and he helped them get to the NBA Finals in 2021.

At this point, Crowder has only one year remaining on his contract with Phoenix.
