2023 Phoenix Suns Offseason

[Town Drunk]

My money is on Todd getting waived.

It sure seems that way. Maybe the Suns may want to see him in summer league first.

Also, I keep wondering if the Suns might find a way to use his contract in trade.

AZ Sports has us at 16 players:

PG: Devin Booker, Eric Gordon, Cam Payne
SG: Bradley Beal, Jordan Goodwin, Damion Lee
SF: Josh Okogie, Keita Bates-Diop, Ish Wainright, Toumani Camara
PF: Kevin Durant, Yuta Watanabe, Isaiah Todd
C: Deandre Ayton, Drew Eubanks, Chimezie Metu

Ish Wainright's contract is not guaranteed and Isaiah Todd seems like a long shot to make the team even though his contract is guaranteed.

It would be awfully easy to get to 14 players if the Suns wanted too. Plus there are 3 two-way contract spots open.

Everyone keeps saying there are 3 2-way spots, but Saben Lee is already on one. So we have 2 left.

There is a cap hold for Saban Lee on a two-way contract for the upcoming season but I'm not sure if the Suns have picked it up.

@Yuma

After doing some checking, the Suns tendered a two-way qualifying offer to Saban Lee so he is a restricted free agent.

The Suns pulled their offer on Jock Landale for obvious reasons.

That part annoyed me! Every native person I worked with had one of those. I think they are good for outreach in AZ.

I'm not from Arizona or even the US, but I've followed the Suns since the late '80s. It was always purple, and all teams wore white or a light color at home. I think that was a good thing. The turquoise has grown on me, so if they could start winning some games in them, I'd be okay with dropping some of the orange and gray with some turquoise uniforms.

Wow this offseason has been great. Going to be a great season to be a Suns fan. Will root just as hard for the bench as for the starters. Hope Okogie has taken some steps.

Monaco?

Suns officially sign Keita Bates-Diop, Drew Eubanks, Chimezie Metu and Yuta Watanabe.

Anybody want a little Kool Aid this morning. This is a nice serving, including some nice video of our shooters getting jammed up in the playoffs last year to leave guys like Okogoie wide open to miss shots...

I guess he figured out the fifth starter!

I think those 4 plus DA (or his replacement if he's traded) will close most of the time for us but I don't know about starting.

Bright Side of the Suns on PHX Cap Situation

[Mainstreet]

Isaiah Todd could be waived if necessary and Ish Wainright's salary is not guaranteed, so it's relatively easy for the Suns to clear a roster spot.

 

[Yuma]

Also, we get to carry extra guys until the regular season begins. I know it allows you to look at guys, but you have to cut them at some point. If they have any value, not sure their agents won't find them deals elsewhere, even if that's over seas.

Servin' up more Suns Kool Aid...

This one explains how trading the twins to NJ took away Yuta's minutes, thereby allowing the Suns to get him on the cheap... A "poor man's Cam Johnson"???

Also, the Yuta KD connection in NJ is pretty interesting...

[JCSunsfan]

I think I would like to sign Bol Bol. The player that Bol should most mimic is KD. This would be the perfect place for him to develop his game.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Think we could be sleeping on Todd a little bit. Obviously his stats were very bad, albeit in very sporadic minutes. However, watching his highlights it is very clear that he has some skill and a very nice shooting stroke.

Yeah, Todd looked much better in the video highlights from the G-League than the NBA.

 

[Phrazbit]

Everyone looks good in highlights, his G-League stats were terrible too.

I would be very surprised if he made the roster.

 

[Yuma]

I am hoping for Jemison off G league just based on highlights. I saw a podcast that thought we had two Euros that were under the radar on our summer league team. That surprised me.

Something tells me that his G-League team was part of the issue. Goodwin's G-League stats with that team were pretty crap as well, but he saw more PT at the NBA level. Probably just allowed them to jack up terrible shots or the team simply struggled to create good looks would be my guess.

Not arguing that he will be a part of the rotation or even make the team, but I don't think he is as horrendous as people around here are making him out to be.

Yeah, I mean truthfully Jemison is a super longshot. He just looks a little shaq like in his highlights.

The G-League team was pretty good, 3rd in the East. They have 30 teams too, 15 and 15 like the NBA. Goodwin averaged 19 points 5 assists and 7 rebounds there in 4 games. The G-League is weird though how they split it up and kind of have 2 seasons now, the Showcase Cup and then the regular season and playoffs. So maybe you saw just stats for playoffs or the cup.
