It looked like Jamal Crawford may sign with the New York Knicks, but now it looks like another team is interested in him. Crawford is coming off of a stellar season in which he won Sixth Man of the Year, but he is getting old and his next contract may be his last.
According to Sam Amick, the Orlando Magic are also interested in Crawford:
The kind of free agency tidbits you can hear on the latest A to Z pod: After the Oladipo exit, Orlando is very interested in Jamal Crawford

Jamal is a good option for the Magic. They just lost Victor Oladipo to the Thunder on a draft night trade, so they have a hole at shooting guard. The only problem is that Jamal may want to play for a winner. He is 36 years old, and he wants to win a championship. He needs to do it now, so he likely will not sign with the Magic. They are a young team that likely will not contend this season.
Jamal’s best option may be to either resign with the Clippers, who have Chris Paul still, or take a look at the Knicks. With the Knicks recent acquisition of Derrick Rose, they could potentially be a contender this season.
According to Alex Kennedy of Basketball Insiders, Jamal is also interested in the Magic:
I’ve heard this about Crawford as well and it seems that the interest is mutual. https://t.co/thfA36rBvb
