While the Kings have cap space, those two teams need Crawford more, at least on paper. The Knicks are making their runs and have no backcourt playmaking; the Blazers are rather light on the perimeter. Both teams expect to be in the playoffs.

Do the Kings?

Crawford is a scorer, an experienced gunner never shy on the trigger with decent but not great playmaking ability and a decent foul-drawing streak. He's basically a bigger Thornton, but one who's been around for years. What's the plan here?
