1 through 15 is wrong. In the playoffs, there are only 13 players. And Wainright has no playoff experience, so it’s only 1 through 12. (Or 1 through 11 plus 13, if you consider Payton to be our 13th man.)

No this changed.

"Active List Rules: For the 2021-22 season, a team will be permitted to have up to 15 players on its active list for each game during the regular season, Play-In Tournament and playoffs. This change will not impact the number of players a team can have under contract at any one time, which will remain at 17 (or 15 players under standard NBA contracts and two players under two-way contracts)."

I'm sad Frank isn't in that picture.

I had no idea Monty was married. I knew he was married and his wife was in a fatal accident. Apparently he got married a little over a year after that happened. He was remarried in 2017 so it's not new either.

Monty likes the quick turnarounds it seems

I'm glad Monty was able to put his life back together after the tragedy of losing his wife.

Ingrid Williams, wife of coach Monty Williams, dies at 44

It sounds encouraging for Dario even if he doesn't play in the playoffs.

AKA this is now all about conditioning.

Also, chemistry/timing. That takes some time to be at the right time and at the right place and get a feel for guys in your part of the rotation. I just don't see him being effective at all this year.

never thought about the fact that the 1/2 seeds are at a slight disadvantage as to prepping for the playoffs, not knowing who they'll play until two days before the playoffs start. that's kinda lame.

Yeah...it sucks. You have to basically prepare for two completely different teams. I guess if you are the number one seed they think you should be able to handle that. Then again, the teams coming in are not likely to spend much time prepping for you either focusing on the game at hand to get to the Suns.

Yep, the good news is that it looks like he might be 100% healed which is good.

No real reason to bring Dario back now.
But its nice to know that he could come in to Fall on Pat Beverlys lil bird legs. If he gets too chippy.

I would be really surprised if he ever plays another game for the suns.

His contract is going to be moved to help with the tax. I think the only way he stays is if Ayton doesn't get resigned which would be a horrible outcome.

I wouldn't doubt Dario gets traded but his recovery is a win-win. Also I like him as a player and person.

They’re also playing an opponent that has no time to prepare for them, so it’s not much of a disadvantage.
