Suns sign Heywood Highsmith

Again, I love Highsmith for his defense and grit. And wouldn't mind having him back on the roster but here is the reality.

Highsmith recovery might be not so smooth or he asked for release because of sure lack of playing time.

Yeah, I think he signed with us expecting regular minutes once he completed his rehab. And now the minutes don't appear to be there for him. But I'm not sure how much of a market there is for him until he gets the chance to prove he's all the way back to his pre-injury form.

Get a point guard. I liked the one from summer league with the crazy hair. Give him a two way

I hope we don't extend Bridges before the year and one of those 2 guys play well enough to make extending him a moot point.

You have to look at players as the Suns assets. We don't save draft picks, we just get more players. We are setting ourselves up for trades like Allen and Oneal. They will extend Bridges. Then trade him later. Seems like they are unwilling to depend on the rookies and second year guys for winning basketball.

Every player we've traded has been packaged with picks though so this line of thinking doesn't really follow.
