반지원정대를 선택하지 않은 크로포드
Towns was 4 years old when Crawford played his first NBA game. That’s 17 years and 1,251 regular-season and playoff games ago, and Crawford vows he’s not nearly done yet. “I feel like 27,” Crawford said. “I feel great, I really do. I take care of myself. I never really get out of shape. I feel I can play another four, five years at this level without a doubt. I feel rejuvenated.”

Crawford watched Thibodeau and the Wolves trade for three-time All-Star Jimmy Butler on draft night and agreed to terms with free agents Teague and Taj Gibson to go with young stars Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins. “They showed they were serious, trying to get things done right away,” Crawford said. “I felt like the time is right. I felt like I could fit. At this point of my career, I could easily chase a championship. I’m not saying we won’t compete, but it’s not about that. I want to take the journey and go through the wars with these guys. The Cavs, they’ve been there. Those guys know what it’s like to be in the Finals and win a championship. The Warriors, same deal. If I went there and let’s say we happen to win, what’s next? Sometimes it’s more gratifying to help teams go from one point to another point.

크로포드가 첫 경기를 뛰었을 때 타운스는 4살이었다고 합니다. 아직 자신이 27살이라고 느낀다며 4, 5년은 거뜬할 것이라고 합니다.
우승권 팀에 들어가는 것보다 팀이 우승권으로 변하는 데에 도움주는 것이 더 가치있다고 여겼다고 합니다.

쉽게 우승 경쟁을 할 수 있었다면서 캐벌리어스와 워리어스 이야기 꺼낸 것 보면 대화가 오갔을지도 모르겠네요.
