Cobb Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Jamal Crawford, the league's reigning Sixth Man of the Year, has requested a contract extension from the Atlanta Hawks, according to league sources. The 30-year-old Crawford made his request three weeks ago, but with the Hawks focused on re-signing All-Star Joe Johnson and other free agents, talks have not progressed to the serious stage. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard is in the final year of a contract that will pay him $10 million next season. If he doesn't sign an extension, he'll become one of the league's top free agents next summer. Crawford is happy in Atlanta and hopes to stay there for the remainder of his career.We're right up next to the luxary tax line and with Horford's contract looming I don't see it happening.

Cobb Posted July 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 He'll just have to wait like everyone else. His expiring contract is the most valuable trade chip that Sund owns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
