He has all the appearance of practice fodder for training camp. If he does well, he can get a gig in the D League.

Yeah, I just don't see what's in it for them or the Suns. Joe Jackson too.Cap wrote:No farm team. Wilson is there as a practice body for camp. If you want to see him play, go to the open scrimmage.

Re: Suns News: September
Uh, $4M/yr for Zoran Dragic? He better defend like Bruce Bowen cause his offense is nothing like Goran's from what I've seen. It's barely NBA replacement level.
Go Suns!

Re: Suns News: September
Unless Zoran Dragic is also represented by Rich Paul, the deal's total value is $4 million, not its annual salary.

Also I cool with that contract if true.
Re: Suns News: September
The number of guards and small forwards on our roster is getting obscene.

I don't really have one. Just relaying what I had just read. I had suspected the second year might be partially guaranteed.

Re: Suns News: September
I'm really not sure how I feel about the whole situation. If he's going to leave the European leagues, it's nice to have guaranteed money for at least two years. So, that makes sense. I like what I saw of him in the World Cup but I'm not sure why we're bringing him on. We are so guard heavy already. I can't imagine it's just to appease Goran but maybe it is. It's a nice gesture that he's able to hang out with his brother. Maybe Goran was a little homesick and this was done to help out. Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how it all shakes out.

Re: Suns News: September
i'm really going out on a limb here, but in every article that talks about the suns' interest in goran they describe him as a tough nosed defender, which suggests that maybe the team is picking him up for the defensive versatility he brings... when we put our top three guards out there, they are dragic (6'3", not a stopper), bledsoe (6'1", reputation for tough defense but somewhat undersized), and thomas (5'9", always plays hard on defense but ... he's 5'9"!), and even if we have wonderful offensive output, there may come a time when we need to shut down the opposing team's wing scorers, and having zoran on the team gives us that option without completely sacrificing offense and chemistry.Superbone wrote:I'm really not sure how I feel about the whole situation.
