On June 25, 2009, Crawford was traded to the Atlanta Hawks, where the Golden State Warriors acquired Assi Law and Spitty Clarkston in the trade. Because he overlapped with Joe Johnson, he began to play as a substitute, but found that he played as a substitute more appropriate. (Image from Oriental IC)
