Between Keon, Lee and Bol we have a lot of guys who are keen on trying to score 1 on 3 out there.
1993 is the closest I can think of - Barkley, KJ, Dumas, Ainge, Miller, Majerle(ish). But even that’s kind of a stretch.I honestly can’t recall anytime the suns had this many players capable of creating their own shot.
I suppose he is ok as a 2 way player. But if he is playing we better be up by 20+ in the 4th.So who are you replacing Saban Lee with on a two-way contract?
It might be one of those situations where one of our coaches thought they could fix him, and now that they have tried they no longer think so.If the Suns don't keep Bol Bol, why did they sign him? It's not like he is an unknown commodity.
Maybe little or Johnson they young with potential? Not sure but Lee just doesn’t seem to fit imo, could be wrong just don’t see much to like from him. Just barrels uncontrolled towards the basket and try’s contested layups that just get blocked repeatedly… not great to me…So who are you replacing Saban Lee with on a two-way contract?

also we added 3 other players that werent on the roster when we signed him.

Booker/KD/Beal are all elite. Gordon and Allen are both solid. And even Okogie can do a little. It’s incredibly exciting.
I still think we’re a PJ Brown-type away from having pretty much every base covered. Rebounding/Interior D will def be this team’s Achilles heel, if they have one.
Edit: 1998 squad had Kidd, McDyess, Danny Manning, Rex Chapman and Uncle Cliffy. That was 4 solid shot creators and one elite distributor but no elite scorer amongst the bunch. But that was a damn good team that could have done some 2004 Pistons-esque damage had Manning not blown out his knee with ten games left in the season.
It was a 1 year minimum deal, seems more like kicking the tires on a player than being invested in them.If the Suns don't keep Bol Bol, why did they sign him? It's not like he is an unknown commodity.
Ced was a garbage man supreme at that point, but it wasn’t until the next season that he really started creating shots on his own. And Chambers I thought about listing, but he’d more often put the ball on the ground, only to get it stolen, fall down and slap the floor while yelling at a ref than actually score.Ceballos was on that 93 team too, broke his ankle in the Seattle series. Chambers was there as well, obviously in his twilight but still solid. They had 7 guys averaging double figures. Just a ridiculously stacked team.
Little is locked in for the next 4 seasons. He's due about $7-8 million a year. He's not going anywhere. Not a good deal but maybe we can trade him for someone better. He's young so there's also a chance he turns it around as well. I have a feeling he'll be given lots of opportunities due to his contract though. Kind of stuck with him.

He has shown some ability in the past to bother Jokic with his length. That is probably part of the reason they brought him in.IMO, Bol Bol is a specialty player. The only thing I can figure, the Suns had a role for him in mind.
That would lend itself to the idea that they probably aren't going to make that decision based on a few preseason games. It takes more than a month or so to "fix" someone.It might be one of those situations where one of our coaches thought they could fix him, and now that they have tried they no longer think so.

His contract is movable. Even if it was to pick up a second round pick or something.Little is locked in for the next 4 seasons. He's due about $7-8 million a year. He's not going anywhere.

Oh man. I remember Chambers getting the ball stolen so much. That was so frustrating.Ced was a garbage man supreme at that point, but it wasn’t until the next season that he really started creating shots on his own.

But yeah… that team was stacked.
I think Goodwin is going to be my favorite player to watch h this season.
He was a steal. It's incredible that he was essentially a throw-in as cap filler on a trade that was already a robbery.
I wonder if Beal pushed to have him included in the deal. I feel bad for Wizards fans.
It was a 1 year minimum deal, seems more like kicking the tires on a player than being invested in them.
For example all the other players the Suns signed to minimum deals included a 2nd year player option just to give them as much insurance as possible(at significant cost to the team since the league only offsets 1 year minimum deals when it comes to taxes).
