Charania: "Sources tell me the Hawks have emerged as a suitor among interested teams in Suns' forward Jae Crowder. The Hawks and Suns have had conversations in recent weeks and months, I'm told." 

In 2021, the Hawks made it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals, but this past season they lost in the first round of the NBA Playoffs to the Miami Heat in five games.

Over the offseason, they acquired Dejounte Murray in a blockbuster deal with the San Antonio Spurs.

Therefore, they now have Trae Young, John Collins and Murray on the roster.

Crowder made the NBA Finals in 2020 and 2021 (playing for the Miami Heat and Suns) and has played in 107 career NBA Playoff games.

He is a solid veteran with loads of experience over his ten seasons playing in the NBA.
