Re: Suns News: Week 1 10/17-10/21
With earlier reports that Reed was the other one being waived, I wonder if we're negotiating a possible trade. Not sure why else his being cut wouldn't be included with the other 2.

Yes, so happy to see this. Thanks, dude!

Assuming it's Reed
PG. Canaan, Okobo, Melton
SG. Booker, Crawford, Daniels
SF. Ariza, Jackson, Bridges
PF. Anderson, Warren, Bender
C. Ayton, Chandler, Holmes

King is on a 2-way contract. So we only needed to cut 2 players.
EDIT: Never mind, we still need to make room for Crawford. Maybe he hasn't signed yet, though, and we're going to work on trading Reed. The cut deadline was at 2 pm.

Re: Suns News: Week 1 10/17-10/21
That's an excellent take and how I've seen it play out as well. Not sure why he looks so good in SL and then reverts back in preseason. I'm wondering if it's a confidence issue.Shabazz wrote: ↑Mon Oct 15, 2018 1:13 pmThe Davon Reed decision is interesting. I remember everyone thought it was a reach when he was picked with Jordan Bell and others on the board. It seemed like there was a lot of cognitive dissonance after the fact to justify the pick, but he did show some things in Summer league before his rookie season. I think the knee injury was pretty devastating as he wasn't someone particularly quick before the injury and he moved like my dad in his games last year.
Again - he showed promise in Summer League this year, but has looked out of place in preseason.
Ultimately, I think he's a better fit for the roster than Troy Daniels now that we have Crawford. I don't see the point of having both JC and TD. They both have the same deficiencies. At least Reed brings something different in theory.

Nah. I knew there was no way he was missing opening night. Kid is a baller. I think he'll be fine.

I wouldn't be surprised if Crawford starts at PG.

Re: Suns News: Week 1 10/17-10/21
I doubt we are. He wouldn’t be playing — or allowed to play — if the doctors and trainers didn’t give him the go ahead. It’s presumably healed enough that he can play on it without making it worse.JeremyG wrote: ↑Mon Oct 15, 2018 2:29 pmI just don't like risking anything with a $158 million investment.Superbone wrote: ↑Mon Oct 15, 2018 2:28 pmNah.

2 pm deadline passed. Gambo says no more cuts for today. I guess Crawford will sign tomorrow.

I feel bad for Harrison. He worked hard to get here. If only he could shoot or pass...

Re: Suns News: Week 1 10/17-10/21
Sucks about Shaq getting cut. He's a legit difference maker on defense but is useless on offense unfortunately.
The Bucks waived Tim Frazier btw. True PG, still young but a journeyman.

Re: Suns News: Week 1 10/17-10/21
We could still bring him back on a 2-way contract if he clears waivers, right?

Re: Suns News: Week 1 10/17-10/21
This is like the Marcus Banks and Smush Parker days all over again, except at least that was for the backup PG position and we already had a hall of fame starting PG.

Re: Suns News: Week 1 10/17-10/21
I think he'll play PG for us, but I think he's a bad fit next to Booker. His use is that now Jackson doesn't have to create everything on the 2nd unit.
Re: Suns News: Week 1 10/17-10/21
I think he just doesn't have nba athleticism. Daniels is a very quick shooter. Reed has the all around game, but he's not quite quick or strong or coordinated enough to play.Superbone wrote: ↑Mon Oct 15, 2018 2:26 pmThat's an excellent take and how I've seen it play out as well.

I thought he played well for NO a couple of years ago. Obviously, he would be the 5th most talented guy in our lineup, but he knows how to play.
