Crazy trade assessed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rated

'assessed' is the definition.
(rating is a kind of assessing)

'crazy trade' is the wordplay.
'crazy' is an anagram indicator.
'trade' is an anagram of 'RATED'.

(Other definitions for rated that I've seen before include "esteemed" , "deserved" , "Tread (anag.)" , "Highly valued" , "highly regarded" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
