> Crowder played 18 seconds Wednesday night in the Bucks’ Game 5 overtime loss to the Heat that sent them home. He did not play in Game 4 and averaged 13.6 minutes through the first three games.
> “I’ve never been in a situation like that,” Crowder said. “Eleven years. Check my résumé. I’ve been playing. I’ve always been playing. I’m very confused as to why I was brought here. I don’t know my purpose here and why I was brought here.”
> “Yeah, I wasn’t expecting that, DNPs,” he said. “I haven’t had them in my career so why start now?”
> Yet, Crowder won’t rule out re-signing with Milwaukee this summer. He enjoys being around his current teammates.
> “I would (return), because in the locker room it’s a great group of guys who puts work first and we have fun after that,” he said. “I can work in that type of environment and I really do appreciate my teammates for welcoming me. From day one it’s just been love from that side. But that’s a conversation that has to be had.”

He would probably have been a key part of the Suns roster now if he actually wanted to play…lol
He’s annoying as hell but he’s right. I guess they didn’t expect him to be as ass
Dude’s such a whiner.
What a dumbass
It was so fun being told about how his hold out was smart and justified
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy!
“Check my resume. I’ve been playing. I’ve always been playing.”
Well you weren’t for the first half of the season!
Cry me a river, Crowder
I would return, because they have my bird rights and are probably the only people who will pay me because their options are so limited otherwise
Hahaha. Rest in piss
Hopefully he wasnt brought there for veteran leadership.
Well he sucks
You were brought here to play and then we quickly realized you couldn’t, Jae.
Wes outplayed you. He’s older too. Take it up with him.
“Check my resume” homie check the resumes of the guys ahead of you on the depth chart
I say we cut the BOSSMAN ! !! ! ! loose asap
You wanted a bag and wouldn’t stop whining. And now you will be lucky to get anything but vet mins. We will always remember you for the Valley Oop
GRASS NOT GREENER! BOSSMAN NOT BENCH MAN. TAKING APPS FOR MY SERVICES. NO EXCUSES! JUST WORK!
Keep crying lol. This dude trashed The suns and his team online and said once, anywhere but the suns. You were hyped when the Bucks were the 1 seed and now that you choked to a team you also forced your way out of 2 years ago your complaining
The fact he couldn’t even get playing time in a series where the Bucks desperately needed a wing defender is a huge indictment on Crowder
Bud coached an awful series but benching Crowder wasn’t a mistake. He looked like the worst player on the floor at all times
There are two natural conclusions for Crowder
1) Phoenix and Milwaukee want to win the title but they would rather restrict their chances because they’re holding a personal grudge against him
2) he’s not good
Crowder really has an “I suck” vibe around him. Perpetually unhappy.
“I’ve always been playing” says the guy who chose to sit out half the season
Oh if it weren’t the consequences of my own actions…
Crowders been over rated for years let’s be real
JaExistential crisis
This man has been on so many solid teams and still has nothing to show for it lmao
This is r/suns Christmas
As Zach Lowe said in his pod, “we went through an entire season of cryptic tweets for this?”
Dude looked at cam Johnson and thought he was a star. Always knew this dude was a clown after lebron said so
LMAOOOOO
This dude is trash. Underperforms every time he gets a big role. I have no idea why he’s still in league given his antics
Well he absolutely sucked when he played, but he’s always been a drama Queen so no surprise he’s blaming others
Well you were brought there because you held out from playing for a title contender cuz your dumb ass thinks you’re LeBron.
Bucks wanted you for vet minimum depth and nothing more.
cuz he’s a bum
As a Sun’s fan in glad to see it. Nothing but minimum vet contracts most likely for Benchman99.
Dude is going to be playing in China very soon. So sad he has to end his career so bitter and toxic
I find it hard to stomach when stars speak like this. When its a role player / bench player demanding trades or running their mouth it leaves me incredulous.
You are in Milwaukee because your contract lined up with the needs of the KD deal. You are not playing as much because you have gotten older and your skills have declined.
Any other questions?
You pass the butter.
You don’t know why you were brought there? You politicked to get sent to the Bucks specifically ALL FUCKING SEASON
Maybe ya should have just played off the bench with the Suns? Eh?
Jae: “What is my purpose?”
Bucks: “You sit on the bench.”
Jae: “Oh my God.”
Jae, without all due respect, shut the fuck up already. You refused to play for a team, and then you were just OK when you played for your new team. You’re about to turn 33 and you’ve clearly lost a step. Accept your role like the role player you are. There’s nothing wrong with being a role player. But quit bitching like you’re a star that’s not getting any respect.
