I find it interesting when Mav fans bring up Crowder's name from time to time as a possible addition. Why he would come back and play under Carlisle is beyond me. I still think that a main reason so many players choose other destinations over the Mavs is due to RC. He's well known for his prickly demeanor, and if I made millions, I wouldn't be inclined to looking forward to having to deal with that at work on a regular basis if I had other options.

I guess you can make a case for Crowder but RC did play him in basically every game as a rookie and then a 2nd yr player. It wasn't until his 3rd year that his playing time dipped but by then we had added Parsons, Jefferson, and Aminu. But aside from his stint in Boston he's been used the same way we used him so I would disagree. Even if you count Crowder though how many years has Rick been here? And if the only example is Crowder going from an 18min role player(and rookie) to a 25min player in Boston I'm not seeing a reason for the constant narrative that Rick gets here about not playing guys who should obviously be played.
