According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, Jae Crowder could be the “key” in an eventual Phoenix Suns trade proposal to get Bojan Bogdanovic, who’s rumored to leave Utah
Crowder is on an expiring contract worth $10.2M
Cam Johnson is eligible for a contract extension with the Phoenix Suns and the two sides have been actively engaged in negotiations, reports ESPN’s Brian Windhorst.

The Phoenix Suns have been active in trade discussions this month with Jae Crowder a possible outgoing player, as reported by ESPN’s Brian Windhorst.
The Suns are already in the luxury tax so there are questions on whether they will have the authority to spend more money given the suspension of Robert Sarver.
As reported by RealGM, The NBA league office and some team owners are in favor of more punitive penalties in its luxury tax.
A hard cap on team salaries, however, continues to be a non-starter for the NBPA.
Team executives believe the tax penalty will possibly be the biggest issue the two sides will need to resolve as part of this collective bargaining agreement.
If the NBA further increases luxury tax penalties, it will create more revenue share opportunities, but it will also prevent smaller market teams from ever considering going into the tax for multiple years to sustain a contending team.
