Right now the Suns have four guards under contract: Johnson, Barbosa, Jacobsen, and Eisley. With Eisley injured, they are down to three guards. If the Suns sign Vujanic, they would have 5 guards under contract going into next season.
If the Suns were to sign a free agent guard like Kobe, Brent Barry, Q Richardson, Ginobili, Turkoglu, Payton, or someone else - this would mean the Suns would have 6 guards under contract. Since I can't see the Suns carrying more than five guards, this presents the following options:
1. Off Load Eisley - This probably means cutting him and eating his contract.
2. Trade Jacobsen - He has not torn up the league but good three point shooters always have some value.
3. Delay Signing Vujanic - This would eliminate the need to do a buyout of his Italian contract.
4. Make Jacobsen an SF - This would mean using Carbakapa as PF and carrying only four true inside guys.
5. Leave One Guard on IR - Probably Eisley if they don't want to cut him.
Are there any options I'm missing?
