Yet another snub. No mention of the Suns at all.

Finding reasons for optimism for the NBA's 8 worst teams
Joseph Casciaro, Joe Wolfond

While the majority of NBA teams are in the process of planning and preparing for the season's July resumption, the league's eight worst teams have already seen their seasons end. But even for these lowly squads, there is reason for optimism - if you look deep enough.

Sarcasm is hard to pick up on sometimes in the written word to all but us sarcasologists.

So in terms of going to Orlando, player who don't want to play need to let teams know by June 25th...do we think any Suns players won't want to play or will have hesitations? Rubio because of his newborn? Oubre because of his injury and the fact he's heading into FA next year? Baynes being a FA and not wanting to risk injury?

I think they’ll all go. They won’t make the playoffs, so it’ll be fairly quick.

AAAAAnd Kelly Oubre is a wuss. But are we surprised?

No. I am not. Too busy taking videos and photo shoots to play ball.

Lot of risk for him without any real chance at reward. He needs to be healthy for his contract season. I thought you’d be happy he’s not playing.

He’s had twice the time it takes to heal. Not playing is a direct insult to his teammates

For 9 games I can cut him a break, and we get to see more of Saric which I'm interested in.

If he hasn't had time to properly rehab with the trainers, it's legit. Can't just jump right back to playing full speed off an injury no matter how much time he's had post surgery. Plus he's heading to FA. I'm not surprised in the least.
