Filling the 15th Roster Spot

[CardsSunsDbacks]

I was impressed that the Lakers center tried to back down Stix and was not able to do it. So maybe he has that Bo Outlaw strength?

3rd times a charm?

Smith is pretty built already. I’m not sure on his measurements though, height and reach, on how true they are.

Jones can jump with the best of them. He even got a lob and foul on Davis

Upper body, yes, but Smith has no lower body strength or bulk.

As for Jones, his problem is lack of coordination, not lack of athleticism.

I think you just run and shoot those centers back to the bench.

Yeah. Who “matches up” against Boban? Gotta zig when they zag.

Doesn't surprise me. Familiar with the system and can shoot/score. Unfortunately still can't rebound or defend, and definitely can't protect the rim.

I'm guessing Frank was signed to the veteran's minimum which should be $1,882,867 for a five year veteran.

If so this is an excellent signing still leaving the Suns with the bi-annual exception.

 

[Mainstreet]

It looks like Frank signed with the Kings on a non-guaranteed minimum contract. So again, good signing for the Suns.

By Kellan Olson, Arizona Sports:


This past offseason, the 27-year-old had the second year of his two-year, $10 million contract declined by the Suns ahead of free agency. He was then signed by the Sacramento Kings on a non-guaranteed minimum deal but was waived on Sunday.

With Saric out for a while, it made sense to bring him back, as he knows the system. And, no doubt a lot cheaper on a new contract.

 

[Hoop Head]

Not a big fan of Frank but they could have done worse. He has NBA experience and was part of the squad last year. Now I hope they get a big for the other two-way spot.

There are some big men I like better than Frank but he is a nice compromise with the season ready to start. If the Suns had used the bi-annual exception on him I would feel differently.

Now if the opportunity arises, they might be able to waive or trade someone and improve the team later in the season with another move.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Okay with frank as a plug and play bc he knows the offense and defense already and with saric out need a guy to play immediately.

 

[Yuma]

So JJ let Frank walk, and we got him back almost 10 million cheaper? No kudos for JJ on that move?

 

[Yuma]

No one matches up with Boban!!

The Suns would have only paid Frank $5 million this season on the final year of his contract if they kept him.

The savings is approximately: $5 million less $1,882,867 (minimum) equals $3+ million savings.

Pocket money for us.

Still a good job, he should be given kudos for! A lot of people count everything he does wrong!!

Has got to be a little rough for Kaminsky, to leave the suns, spend all preseason with the kings, and now back to the suns.

Except that the only reason Kaminsky is back is that Saric was more seriously injured than Jones let on, and the Suns would have already had a far more capable replacement on board with a training camp in hand here had Jones been more proactive in accounting for the seriousness of Saric's injury.

Life can't be fun moving from team to team but I bet Frank is glad to be backed where he is liked by management and players.

Now he gets to use the new training facility and renovated arena.

At least Frank is not going to an unknown team.

 

[Carolinacacti]

Wonder if he owns a home in AZ?

If Phoenix rises from the ashes and makes the playoffs with his moves, James Jones will get tons of praise.

 

[Yuma]

I was just thinking he got cut so quick, he still may have his home here in PHX!

 

[Carolinacacti]

Frank the Tank as 007 In The spy in Sac.

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin Booker with some nice words about Frank Kaminsky.
