Nope, not at all. If he was just roster filler, we would have signed him to a 10-day. This is an audition for a bigger role/contract.

Bigger role to do what? He is a bench guy and not a great defender. I think the Suns already know what they have in him no? This smacks more of them trying to round out the roster and add some shooting off the bench.

This signing has nothing to do with this year.

My comments still apply. What do you think is going to happen here? You think he is going to become a starter on a good team? What do you mean by bigger role?

Bigger role, as in part of the rotation in 2016/17. See if his knees are any good.

It's one thing to go all-in on a free agent or a #1 draft pick, but you still have to fill out your roster. This year is a waste, so it's all about potential keepers for next year.

OK, I get what your saying. I was taking a slightly different take in that it's actually the same role he has been playing not a bigger one the Suns are looking for. It will help round out the roster but this is not a big deal.

Yeah, I get it. I don't think he'll stick because of his health issues, but you never know with Aaron Nelson as our trainer.
