Celtics get something for nothing. If you're wondering why the Wizards traded Crawford for nothing, it was a salary dump. Wiz get out of $2.1 mil owed to Crawford next season. Celtics obviously feel Crawford is worth it. Barbosa could still return to Boston next season, but having Crawford aboard makes it much less likely.
What are your thoughts on the deal?
