I would say yes. They could release Payton and convert the 2-way. But I’m not sure that is legal given how close we are to the playoffs. In that case, playing Payton makes even less sense.

I think there is a very slight chance the Suns might want to put Lundberg on their 15 man playoff roster.
They would have to waive someone like Payton to do it.

Final:
Suns 129 - Bulls 102
Suns 129 - Bulls 102

Kevin Ray said that the magic number is still 4 with this win. So I think Golden State prevents it from being 3.

I’m not sure that’s legal now.

A quiet 20 and 12 for DA.

I believe it's permissible because Lundberg was an unsigned free agent.

It's 3, the best those teams can do is 59-23. If we win 3 more games we get to 60 wins and thus clinch the first seed.

I thought there was a deadline for any signed free agent to be eligible for the playoffs. And Iffe isn’t even in the “regular” roster.

I believe the magic number of 3 can be a combination of Suns wins and opponent losses by those who the are competing for 1st place in the Western Conference behind Phoenix.

He should have taken more shots!

Honestly, the best part about Craig is he's relentless on the boards. More so than Crowder.

I'm not sure of the date but Gabriel is not a traded player. There is a cutoff date for traded players that is already past.
A player could be waived and Lundberg could be converted from a two-way contract to a regular roster spot before the playoffs.
If there is a rule prohibiting it, I'd like to know.

I think he missed the fact the Golden state lost the other night and was a full game behind the grizz

Monty says Payton playing over Holiday was a matter of adding more size.

I think Craig has a bit more length and is more versatile than Crowder taking nothing away from Crowder.
For the fun of it I compared both players through age 31. Torrey has played less years than Jae.

I’d take Craig or CJ starting over crowder anytime.

Heh, I was wondering what they were all laughing at when this happened live:

You know what I was the happiest about this game? Booker had the opportunity to jack a terrible shot for a 2-for-1 at the end of the 3rd, but DID NOT. They ran it down and got a good look (I think Payton missed a runner) instead.
