Miami Heat: The Litmus Test Of Correctness On Letting Jae Crowder Walk

The Miami Heat brought in Moe Harkless and Avery Bradley in Free Agency. Will they prove to be the right move in place of Jae Crowder?

We Shall Call Him Moe

We also call him Moe. While he hasn’t shown to be the guy that Jae Crowder was last season from behind the three-point line after joining the Miami Heat, he offers some of that ability, everything else he offers from intangibles to defense to auxiliary areas, and all while he brings a more potent dribble drive and slashing game than Crowder.

Again, that’s a win-win. We ask this question from this perspective because if you look at the around $9-10 million dollars it costs to have these players in this upcoming season, that’s about what Jae got in Phoenix.

That’s where we will begin though.

Let’s look at the first part of the litmus test to prove whether this was the correct play by the Miami Heat. This first portion starts and stops with Crowder’s shooting.

It involves taking a look at what Jae Crowder did before arriving in Miami and then after arriving in Miami. We also go a bit into what it could look like in Phoenix this upcoming season.

Let’s dive in.
