The Suns have no reason to convert Ish to a main roster deal. Two-Way deals are allowed up for 50 games in a season. They're likely to exhaust those before they'd convert him.

He's a long shot anyway but he has the chance to see some minutes given the Crowder situation.

Our CP3 window was last year IMO. I am expecting the decline in CP3 this year to be fairly significant. However, the rest of our core is young. There is no reason not to build on the young core--especially Book, Ayton, Mikal, and CamJ. Find a quality young pg--doesn't have to be an all-star--and there is a bright future ahead.

However, no, I do not think we are title contenders this year.

Cp3 is about done on defense imo. He’s become accustomed to just body checking an opposing player rather than actually getting his feet to move.

I haven't heard anything about the Suns waiving Adonis Arms as yet.

Perhaps the Suns still make a move?

The Suns could move one of Wainright or Washinton Jr. (both two-way contracts) to their 15-man roster if they wanted to add Adonis Arms on a two-way contract.

Jae Crowder could still be traded later on.

This article supports this possibility.


By Damon Allred, Btight Side of the Suns:


Some intel came in from connected sources that Arms may be a two-way contract candidate if the Suns were to upgrade Ish Wainright or Duane Washington Jr. (31 points, 4 assists, and 11 turnovers vs Kings) from their two-way slot to the 15th spot

I could be wrong, but I think James Jones is being a strategist.

He is collecting young players who have proven they are more than "skeletons."

Unless he gets a player he wants now, I think he will make a move at the trade deadline.

There should be lots of sellers on underachieving teams with good players, who are looking towards the draft.

Yeah your wrong

The Suns have waived Saben Lee. I'm still waiting to see what happens with Adonis Arms.

Dario Saric is back at practice. I see Adonis Arms in the video. Hmm.

Cam Johnson, Cam Payne and Landry Shamet were limited in what they could do today.

Devin Booker can be a decoy to improve the performance of other players.

I think I support the idea of upgrading Washington to a regular contract.

Getting the feeling no Crowder deal is happening by the season opener.

I'm all for it as well. Then add Adonis Arms on a two-way contract.

I'm expecting something from the Suns before the rosters are finalized on Monday.

There is the matter of the Cam Johnson extension.

Also, I think the Suns might adjust their roster, such as moving Duane Washington Jr. to their regular roster.

Now we know why Dario was out for personal reasons. He is a father!

Um. They could have told us that before. Hmm. You almost think the vagueness is purposeful, suggesting controversy to get attention.

Sometimes pregnancies do not always go as expected, so Dario and family may have wanted the privacy.

Dario Saric is a proud father.

I'd say shooting is not the best part of Josh Okogie's (#2) game.

Suns waive Adonis Arms. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot was also waived.

I was hoping a two-way contract might open up.

The Suns have 16 players but 2 of them are on two-way players (Wainnright and Washinton) although they can play a certain number of games.

However, the Suns have one opening on their 15 man roster in addition to Crowder, so their regular roster is really 2 players down.
