it's ridiculous we signed him that cheaply. It actually seems insulting.

I don't care what anyone says, he is more impactful than Gillespie. I am very glad we got the deal done, but he is very much being underpaid.

In my opinion Goodwin is a better version of Lou Dortz who is getting 18 million a year.
Teams think it was a fluke season for Goody but not Collin. Or it's that White boy thing, or age.

I don't think we underpaid. I like his deal more than Collin's all around. Glad we were able to keep him.

Yeah, $6+ million a season is more than I hoped the Suns would have to pay.

Jordan Goodwin's deal with the Phoenix Suns will look like this, if it follows standard 8% raise structure:
26-27: $5.8M
27-28: $6.3M
28-29: $6.8M (player option)Terrific value for the Suns for a solid backup guard. Good for Goodwin too, especially with a player option on the final season.

Jordan Goodwin has officially re-signed with the Suns, as the team retains one of the most tenacious defensive guards in basketball.Goodie had a career season across the board while also winning Phoenix’s Dan Majerle Hustle Award.

Suns re-signing of Jordan Goodwin has been made official.
“Jordan plays with relentless effort and competes every game with the kind of toughness that defines our culture,” said Suns general manager Brian Gregory.
“He has a unique ability to create extra possessions through his offensive rebounding and by forcing turnovers. His competitiveness and energy are invaluable, and he is a perfect fit for what we are building in Phoenix.”

It's only watching the national televised games where Colin went off repeatedly.

Actually that argument is dumb too, defense and hustle are easily more repeatable than shooting over 40% from 3. Players go through shooting slumps all the time.

Nobody is changing my mind though, overall last season Goodwin was the more impactful player.

I don't know if he was more impactful but given the salaries, age, and play style going forward tho I'd rather have Goodwin over Collin if I had to choose.

I don't think it's up for debate that Goodwin was definitely better the final month or two of the season.

Remember last preseason when it was between Goodwin and Butler and many preferred Butler? :shock:

Luckily, the Butler did NOT do it.

I never saw it with Butler. Not that Goodwin looked that good but I was bummed we traded him away initially for Royce. He was a nice addition to the Beal trade. Like a poor man's Camara as a young throw in.

I know we lost similar players like Melton and Jevon Carter and thought losing Goodwin was the trifecta so getting him was a blessing as far as I was concerned. He makes a solid 2nd string guard pairing with Collin also.

i totally wanted the other guy - i think it was butler? i don't remember but he was scoring buckets and filling the stat sheet meanwhile goody was playing good d and and fighting for offensive rebounds - goody isn't just the better player - he's also the spark that can light a fire under everyone's asses

i'm so glad goody got paid - i won't compare he and gillespie - they are two different keys on opposite sides of the piano - goody knows how and when to switch defensive assignments with gillespie - without compromising the defense - they have that chemistry- really helps our bench's backcourt
