Teletovic was waived because he wouldn't accept their low offer. The story I heard was his camp felt he was being lowballled because they weren't sure about how he'd return health-wise, not because he hadn't previously had value on the court. I don't really have any perspective on this but Weems was an all Euro-League player and I believe he was considered to be the best shooting guard in Europe. And IMO Leuer has shown he needs to be in the rotation.
We might find it laughable in a year or two that 12 or 13 players on this team thought they deserved regular minutes but right now I think that's uncontestable. I'm used to a roster that has 9 or 10 regular players and the rest are mostly cheerleaders.
I'm not contesting that this team has a TON of guys who are competing for playing time, what I'm saying is that it is not because we're so very deep, but rather because we're so short on guys who have proven anything.
It might be semantics, but IMO depth, like the depth of those 90s Suns is a team that has multiple guys coming off the bench who could easily be starers elsewhere, opposed to our current depth where multiple guys off the bench think they deserve to play because the other guys at their position are just as unproven as they are. I doubt anyone around the league is looking at guys on our bench and saying "they could start for us".
