The NBA's reigning Sixth Man of the Year is likely relocating.

According to a person with knowledge of the situation, free agent guard Jamal Crawford received an offer from the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday that will likely lead to his exit. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the negotiations.

While the specifics of the Crawford offer were not known, it's clear that it came in well shy of the three-year, $35 million deal given to the son of Clippers coach and president of basketball operations, Doc Rivers, on the same day. It doesn't take a detective to figure out why Crawford may not be thrilled at the moment.

After averaging 14.2 points, 2.8 assists and 1.8 rebounds per game last season, the 36-year-old received his offer right about the same time as Austin Rivers. Yet despite the fact that Crawford's role was far more impactful than that of Rivers last season, his offer came in well shy of the 23-year-old reserve guard who averaged 8.9 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists in the 2015-16 campaign.

From Philadelphia to Washington to Golden State and others, Crawford isn't lacking for interest from other teams. After his displeasure was first reported by USA TODAY Sports on Saturday night, Boston Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas, a fellow Seattle native who is one of Crawford's best friends, recruited Crawford via Twitter.

Crawford plans on being patient during this free agency process, so his situation may not be resolved anytime soon. Like every other free agent in this unprecedented summer of free-flowing cash, he is well aware that exorbitant deals are out there to be had.

In the last two days alone, 23-year-old guard Evan Fournier (15.4 points per game last season) landed a five-year, $85 million deal with the Orlando Magic, 27-year-old guard Evan Turner (10.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.4 assists per game) agreed to a four-year, $70 million deal with the Portland Trail Blazers, 30-year-old guard Courtney Lee signed a four-year, $50 million deal with the New York Knicks, injury-prone guard Eric Gordon (who is 27) agreed to a four-year, $53 million deal with the Houston Rockets, and 30-year-old super sub Jared Dudley was given a three-year, $30 million deal with the Phoenix Suns. To name just a few.

Will the Celtics' big splash be enough to lure Kevin Durant to Boston?

While Crawford's age is certainly a focal point for his suitors, he swears it's nothing but a number. And so far, his production proves as much.

"I'm 36, but really 26 (years old) physically and 46 mentally," Crawford, who is the only player in league history to win the Sixth Man award three times, joked on a recent visit on the NBA A to Z podcast. "I'm split right there in the middle. ... I think I can do it at a high level for at least four or five (more) years."

That may turn out to be true. But unless there's an unforeseen change in the conversations between Crawford and the Clippers, it's likely he'll be doing it with a different jersey on next season.
