Educate me.. good? Bad? Meh?

Mason will get paid about $3.3 million on a one-year contract. He has been in the NBA 10+ years.

He’s better than last year’s back up.

Suns Twitter is saying that this signing proves that Nurk is probably gone.

I'm wracking my brain as to why people would be stupid enough to think that.

 

[GatorAZ]

A good signing given the cap limitations.

 

[BirdGangThing]

better than eublanks - specially on the minimum

It's a solid if unspectacular signing. I wish the Suns had signed him several years ago. He is 34 years of age.

Meh at best.

Not sure I agree. Hoping the rookie beats him out for time.

 

[Mainstreet]

Plumlee has a similar style game of Nurkic, but he does not shoot the 3-point shot.

IMO, Nurkic is the better player at this stage of Plumlee's career. I wouldn't bring him in to be a starter.

 

[Raindog]

Not a bad signing, in my opinion. He's a better backup than Eubanks, for sure. Between him, Bol, and the rookie, that should be sufficient for backup C.

 

[Town Drunk]

Now go get a PG.

Better than Eubanks IMO.

Plumlee’s agent is Mark Bartelstein, whose son Josh Bartelstein is the Suns’ CEO.

That said, I think this is a solid signing.

Can’t teach height. His height alone makes him better than Eubanks.

Despite his age, his skill set really doesn’t change with him aging. This guy plays smart as well.

 

[Mainstreet]

If the Suns added a big like Daniel Theis and a point guard at least the caliber of Cam Payne, I'd feel a lot better.

Hmmmmm... really hope we don't get doinked yet another pick for tampering with a sub par center.

 

[SirStefan32]

Good signing. He is significantly more consistent than Eubanks. Not a game-changer, but he does address one roster weakness.

 

[clyde2tw]

We hated Eubanks for both O and D positioning around P&Rs. Plumlee is much better there. Better rebounder too. Nurk is better at off. facilitating though.

That’s why we acquired more second rounds picks lol
