How the Bucks acquired Jae Crowder: 'One of the most ... (The Athletic)

Bucks GM Jon Horst details how Milwaukee pursued the 3-and-D wing from the beginning of the season to the trade deadline.

I also think, just competing against him in the finals, knowing what he did there, knowing how he plays and all that, we feel like he hits our team really, really well. “So, we got permission to spend time with him, and (Bucks assistant GM) Milt (Newton) and I went and worked him out and spent time with him in Atlanta. Most of the team played against him in the 2021 NBA Finals, and those games left an impression. Crowder has not revealed exactly why he did not want to continue playing with the Suns. The Bucks have been connected to Crowder since before the start of the season, when Crowder and the Suns agreed to allow him to stay away from the team as they tried to find a suitable trade partner. You need everything you can if you want to be the last team standing, and we feel like adding Jae helps us in that direction.” “It was one of the most incredible, kind of challenging, pursuits of a player I’ve ever been a part of, to be honest with you. While a trade for a player who could potentially get important playoff minutes often forces teams to deal with losing an impact player, the Bucks managed to add such a player while keeping their entire core untouched. Every year, Horst has tried to make a move to improve the Bucks, and on Thursday, after a long drawn-out process, he finally got his man. “I was going to get into the bus and I saw Jordan (Nwora) dapping people up and I tried to like kind of avoid him and he was looking in my eyes and I was like, ‘It’s too early for these games, man. Let me go to my seat.’ And he was like, ‘I’m not going to be with the team.'”
