Suns sign Sonny Weems

https://twitter.com/Chris_Broussard/status/618869139797639168 Love it! I've suggested it before and was actually going to post we should pursue him yesterday.

In case you don't know his game- Weems has been one of the best players in the Euroleague the last few years. He's a freak athlete whose shooting needs a little work, but he's a solid all around player.

Good move. Good insurance if we have to move Tucker.

Considering that we already have Knight, Booker, Goodwin, Tucker and Warren at the wing, I really hope this is the first part of a larger deal, but one that only considers shipping Tucker and/or Markieff out of town to really go into the season with a clean slate of knuckleheads.

Otherwise, are we really loading up again the log jam we just cleared at the wings?

I've always kept an eye out for Weems but yea, a bit curious given his skillset vs who we currently have on the roster.

Had one high ranking NBA front office guy not from Phoenix tell me he thinks Sonny Weems will be a surprise that he's pretty damn talented

Dude can play, just a matter of what his role is going to be.

Yeah, I'm curious and probably will be surprised.

Hopefully this means Tucker is gone.

Whacha all have against my man, Tucker? He plays hard and gives it his all. Is it just the off court stuff?

I hadn't heard of Weems. How about a link to video of his play. I take it he's a SF?

No one remembers him? Toronto acquired him with Amir Johnson 6 years ago.

Bad influence for the younger guys.

He played for the Raptors, didn't he?

He's a live body. I remember when he was at Toronto; he had his moments. Looks like his three-point shooting improved somewhat in Europe.

Seems like Toronto fans really like Money Weems.

Coro is saying he's going to be the first G off the bench. I would rather give that time to Archie & Booker.

Happy Birthday, Sonny!
