I think the Suns will have more depth, but that is not hard to project. Late last season the Suns had a 7 man rotation. Just adding Finley would match that.
BTW, I feel there is a very good chance Finley will come to Phoenix. He gets a little bit more money if he goes to a team which can give him a full MLE, but it works out to about $2.5 million after the offset. However, he gets $1 million with the veteran minimum. For a guy who is already making $15 million a year, $1.5 million to play for the Suns is not that much to give up.
We don't know if overall Padgett is any better than McCarty, but he is a much better three point shooter so on net it looks like a small improvement.
It is very hard to know if Burke is better than Voskuhl, but his is reputed to be a fairly good mid range shooter. Jake's complete lack of offensive skills made him useless while Burke might even play some. Once again, only a small improvement but some.
Leandro was injured much of last year and struggled. He hasn't proven he is a point guard, but he has proven he can score. I expect at least some improvement although that is not saying much.
Diaw replaces Bo. Both are mostly mid sized defensive specialists. However, Diaw is reputed to be a solid ball handler who may get minutes at point guard. Since Bo was mostly a human victory cigar, Diaw would have to be a total bust for this to fail to be an improvement.
In general, it looks like the Suns will end up with more guys who might actually contribute but improvements are minor. They have a trade exemption and I think it is important to use on someone with near starter talent.
