It's quite clear the Celtics aren't pursuing any major moves, yet that doesn't mean there aren't going to be complementary ones. From what Chris Broussard has heard, it looks like Ainge is still trying to get a fine microwave oven:
With Fab Melo as the bait, Celtics looking to add perimeter scoring. Wizards' Jordan Crawford available @ on their radar
— Chris Broussard (@Chris_Broussard) February 21, 2013
Jordan Crawford is known for one thing and one thing only: His offense. He attacks the basket, and he's athletic. His per 36 minutes stats are as follows: 18.4 pts, 3.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.2 steals. Let's compare it with Barbosa's statistics: 15.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.2 steals. Sound similar? Oh, but Crawford is worse than Barbosa from behind the 3-point line, so there's that.
Is the deal possible? Well, yes. A Washington Post article explains why he's available. When Bradley Beal was injured, for example, Garrett Tem...

When the Boston Celtics traded for Jordan Crawford yesterday I joked about how I didn't want Kevin Garnett to end up with a murder rap on his record after he went off on Jordan Crawford for not playing any defense (his reputation). Turns out the two almost came to blows not too far back. I actually remember this story, but it had slipped my mind. Thanks to CSNNE'S Jessica...

When I think "Washington Wizards" the first thing that comes to mind is a terrible squad full of young guys who all try to pad their own stats. Good team basketball is hardly their forte. Whether it be the culture of the organization, or the fault of the individual, Jordan Crawford has fit right into this mold during his time in D.C. The guy loves to shoot.

I'm convinced that the best way to evaluate a player is to see what the fans of the team he last played for say about him. So, I went to the Wizards fans to see what they had to say about their departing guard. For the most part, they were angrier about what they didn't get back than losing Crawford.
