Early predictions:

1. LA Clippers
2. LA Lakers
3. Portland
4. Utah
5. Houston
6. Denver
7. Golden State
8. Dallas
9. San Antonio
10. New Orleans
11. Minnesota
12. Phoenix
13. Sacramento
14. Oklahoma City
15. Memphis

I'm assuming Westbrook gets traded.
Not a believer in Sacramento?

Couldn’t get the tweet link but:

“Suns are about to announce that Ty Jerome and Cam Johnson will not be participating in summer league. Being called a team decision.“

I can’t think of a single reason these two should be held out of the summer league unless it’s health. This team just continues to stumble over its own feet. They need to be playing!!!

Not wanting them to be unprepared and because of that not play up to their abilities, making the narrative that we reached in the draft even stronger.

To me it is absurd that these rooks are not playing in summer league if they are healthy. We surely are not talking about Tim Duncan. They'll benefit from anything and everything.

I wish they were playing, think it’s kinda dumb they have ruled them out completely. You don’t have to play them tonight, but surely a few days of practice is enough time to incorporate them.

I also am not too concerned about the decision. Summer league is dumb and I don’t actually think all that helpful. The product is pretty bad and is really only good for foreshadowing busts. If you’re good in summer league it means nothing because everyone sucks. If you’re bad in summer league, looking at you Bender, Chriss, and Jackson, then maybe that’s a problem.

1. Suns are again paying people not to play here.

2. They're spending $19M on a guy that shouldn't be playing here (Tyler Johnson)

3. The Suns now have six guys under contract who are PGs (Rubio Okobo Jerome Carter Evans Lecque), and seven if you count Johnson. Of these, one is NBA quality, two are rookies, one isn't really a PG, and three are G-league material at best.

Talk about throwing **** at a wall and hoping something sticks.

1. Are you talking about Korver? It’s like 3 million, hardly a big deal.

2. Huh? Are you suggesting we stretch him and pay him not to play here?

3. Who is Evans?

So why is Rubio still not signed? Do we not have the cap space until Korver clears waivers?

Jawun Evans. One of the revolving door PGs we tried out last year. I don't think he's with us at current. Could play for the NAZ though.

2. They swapped a large contract useless player to us for a large contract player that could actually help us and get time. It’s pretty much a wash and Jones cleaning up after McD.

Hopefully not in the same way that TJ Warren was "all over the floor".
