Suns Claim Jared Reiner Off Waivers


Posted: Oct. 24, 2005 The Phoenix Suns announced today that they have claimed center Jared Reiner off waivers.

Originally signed by the Los Angeles Clippers on Oct. 3, 2005, Reiner averaged 2.7 points over 6.7 minutes in three preseason games before he was released on Oct. 20.

The 6-11, 255-pound center played in 19 games as a rookie in 2004-05, including two starts, after going undrafted and joining the Chicago Bulls as a free agent. The 23-year-old averaged 1.1 points, 2.0 rebounds and 6.9 minutes with the Bulls and logged seven minutes in three postseason games. Reiner joined the team at today’s practice.

The Suns roster now stands at 16.

Nice to see a fellow Hawkeye get signed, but this is not the Iowa alum I wanted, Reggie Evans would have been nice.

I am impressed,nm132. You found his picture and posted it within 2 minutes, that could be some kind of record. It took me far longer than that to find his player profile on the web.

That's far too easy. It was much more challenging to try and find things on the appropriate web site.

The Suns center carrousel continues.......

Great now the Suns have another almost 7 foot white guy, that scores 2 points and 2 boards a game. Now this season will be salvaged

There's a reason the Clippers waived him.

Is his contract guaranteed? Even for the minimum, this seems like a weird pickup.

wierd? this is more like ********... the guy averaged a whopping 5.7 pts IN COLLEGE. What is he doing in the NBA???

The Clippers still have 17 players on their team. They also still have three 7 footers on the team.

I am not sure Reiner is any good, but he was the logical cut at this point. They still have to get rid of two more players, because they just signed Goldwire. Tabuse may be a cut soon.

Now would be a good time for the suns to trade for Wilcox.......but, probably not going to happen.

My only question is "can he write?"

 

[panfolk]

Well, I guess this sends Tischer to the DL. I guess Iavoroni is overrated so he won't be missing much.
