He's coming in to be deep bench depth in all likelihood. Probably a sign that Baynes won't be coming back though.

This is a Diallo replacement. No big deal. Diallo wouldn't have gotten much burn last season if it wasn't for Ayton's suspension.

Yeah. Doesn't offer much more than size and athleticism, but he provides those for sure.

I would rather have seen PHX go for Nerlens Noel than Jones. I get why Whiteside would not be an option as he is probably looking to start somewhere, rumor is SAC is interested.
I think Jones is a warm body in case something of like an injury to Smith who I think will be the main back up to Ayton and Saric. Which is smart, he was taken #10 so you might as well develop him early and groom him as starting PFOTNF (Power Forward of the Near Future).

Agreed. Jones seems more of a replacement of Diallo than Baynes. Plus he might be the emergency plan in case of Baynes leaving.
I liked the Noel signing too, I think he got 5M?
He’d go good along with Saric off the bench. Athletic. Long. Shot blocker in short minutes.

Yeah good point.

Man he’s only 22. I fell like giles has been around for eons. Maybe bc he was so hyped going into his frosh season at duke and never panned out due to injuries.

Exactly. Looks like a Diallo upgrade.

thats good we still have that available
As it should be. We need to use either the BAE or a Baynes sign and trade this year to get a back-up scoring guard/wing.

You have to think there will be news on Baynes soon.

This is exactly what it is. I'm glad the Suns were able to upgrade the position for the minimum.

The Hawks loaded up on quality big men which made him expendable. Still he is a solid backup center for the Suns.

Bertans did good. Too rich a contract for the Suns.

Moore is depth at point guard and shooting guard. I hope it's for the minimum.

I wouldn't use it unless it would secure us an important rotation player. Teams that struggle out of the gate sometimes waive older vets so they can go to a contender. Having the BAE could be used then or next off-season.
Anybody who thinks or expects Sarver to go into the luxury tax before the season is out of their mind. The luxury tax is only worth paying if you have a contending team. That remains to be seen of the Suns.
great signing
