OAKLAND, Calif. - The Golden State Warriors acquired guards Jordan Crawford and MarShon Brooks on Wednesday from the Boston Celtics as part of a three-team deal that also included the Miami Heat.

Golden State shipped guard Toney Douglas to the Heat, who dealt centre Joel Anthony to Boston.

The Celtics will also receive a draft pick and Miami's 2016 second-round pick and an undisclosed amount of cash.

Miami will save $11.5 million in salary and luxury tax by unloading Anthony's contract.

The 25-year-old Crawford, who had a career resurgence in Boston this season playing point guard, is averaging 13.7 points and 5.7 assists per game.

Crawford was named Eastern Conference player of the week in early December when he averaged 23.3 points and 6.7 assists. - Rappler.com
