Any interest in bringing back Jared Dudley on a minimum deal?

I loved Dudley back in the day, but in 2020 he's too out of shape to actually play any more. Even in short crunch time minutes he huffed and puffed just to get up and down the court. He needs to retire.

I think whatever Gasol gets in free agency will determine the market for Baynes. I'm not sure what to even guess the price tag for Baynes would be currently.

I would have preferred that to Damian Jones

Not bad, not sure what he has left, but we’ll see. That looks like a vet min as well.

Yea pretty solid. Added depth at the 1/2.

I saw a lot of him down here & he does a bit of everything. Had a down shooting year last year after they cut his minutes. Will be interesting to see what his role is.

Career 39% 3PT shooter and 2:1 A/TO ratio

Paul/Payne/Okobo
Booker/Cárter/Moore
Bridges/Johnson/Nader
Crowder/Saric
Ayton/Smith/Jones

Looks like 3rd string PF is our last spot, unless we waive Okobo.

I forget if 2-ways count as roster spots? No, right? That's kind of the point of them.

Wow! Dream come true for me. As a die hard Purdue fan I finally get a Purdue alumni on the Suns.(I’m not counting Jimmy Oliver because he was slightly before my time)

ThreeTwaun is a hard working high BBIQ player who can do a lot of things. Can play both guard spots. He’s got a pure shooters stroke. Should be a good fit as a player and mentor.

How many roster spots left? I’m counting Saric’s QO as being on the team but not Baynes.

If you count Okobo as well, 2 more roster spots, 1 2-way

I forgot all about him. Is he a sure thing on our roster? He's got to be at the very bottom of our guard rotation if so.

Jones has 193 FG in his career, 128 of them are dunks, which would explain his 67% career FG%

"Hey Ayton - watch what this guy does when he gets the ball near the basket."

I hope he embarrasses Ayton in practice by dunking on him repeatedly. Or at least attempting to.

Roster of 15 (including 2 inactives) + up to 2 two-way players

I was fine keeping Diallo, Jones is whatever. Probably not an nba player, but I’m not gonna care that much about what could likely be our 15th man.

You guys will be eating crow when he becomes the breakout NBA player of the year.

Probably not.

Moore is a solid signing at a value deal. Good way to round out the bench. Still feel we are missing 1 high end bench player, but it’s something we can look at the trade deadline if needed

Not really. Think it’s time for him to make the transition to his next step.

Assistant coach? Podcaster? Broadcaster?

Gambo says (for the second straight year ) that he doesn’t expect Okobo back.

Gambo has been out of the loop on the Suns for a while
