"Additionally, Phoenix will receive guard Jordan Goodwin in the Bradley Beal trade."

From CBS: "Goodwin is likely to be considered a toss-in for this blockbuster trade, but he could prove valuable to Phoenix as a bench piece. In Goodwin, the Suns are getting a potential rotation piece under contract for only $1.9 million next season plus a team option for 2024-25. In his second year as a pro, he averaged 6.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 17.8 minutes per game across 62 contests."

Nice! So what, does that give us like 5 players now?

Here's a few highlights, seems like a nice bench piece

Oh, this is a Vogel pick. Give him a defender off the bench on opposing guards. Nice "throw in" for the Beal trade.

This is the type of player who can really excel on a better team, like Phoenix. There won't be any focus on him when he's on the court, so he can just get lost in the offense and the defense and do his thing...sneaky sneaky.

Wiz fans seem really upset he was included for no apparent reason. They feel he outplayed their lottery pick.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Not gonna get my hopes up like with bazley. If he gives us anything, it’ll be gravy.

That's good because we're going to need a lot of defense on our bench

 

[Yuma]

This guys videos look like he's a poor man's Jose Alvarado! That's a nice throw in. Especially at a cheap contract.

 

[GatorAZ]

Already like him more than Cam “causes me” Pain.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

This is pretty much what I was imagining with Jevon Carter. It's theft for us.

 

[Raindog]

If the Suns can bring back Okogie and have Vogel do a little magic with Bazley's athleticism, that could potentially be three pretty good defenders off the bench. Then mix and match them in lineups with Booker, Beal, and Durant to compensate for the offensive shortcomings and you may have something.

 

[Yuma]

I'm thinking you want this guy if you ever play Chris Paul, to harass him Ala Jose Alvarado.

Welcome. Newb buys. I'll take a victory cigar and a single malt.

From AZ Sports, Wizards beat reporter Josh Robbins: “Jordan Goodwin is a guy who is tough, gritty — he’s got an outstanding feel for the game,” Robbins said. “He’ll defend on-ball. For a 6-foot-2 guy, he rebounds like nobody’s business.

“You asked about mixed feelings in Washington about the trade: When (Goodwin’s inclusion) came out, that came out as a kick in the stomach to Wizards fans, to the point where I find it very difficult why the Wizards would include him. He’s one of the very few player-development successes the Wizards have had in recent years. … He’s going to be a rotation player I think for the Suns. He can be that. I don’t understand why the Wizards traded him.”

Have to imagine it was requested by Beal, otherwise why do they throw him in? I don't think it had anything to do with the matching of salaries.

I think we should invite Mat Ishbia instead. Maybe we can party on a yacht or something.

Just like Okogie, I think James Jones, or someone on his staff has an eye for these developing NBA guys. I think we asked.

Someone on the Suns staff is studying players in the league. I know the Suns have a scout for opponents, so maybe that's where we are finding under the radar prospects.

I so wish the Suns would hire more scouts, stat.

Someone posted an article here, and we literally have the smallest staff in the NBA. We need more scouts. Somehow these lower guys like Okogie, Landale, Bismack, etc. have someone with an eye for value scouting these guys. Which could be in our wheelhouse on the vet minimum deals.

I'm guessing its the same people that wanted Baz. Goodwin, Okogie and Baz are low risk high rewards types.

It's not for free. At a minimum he gets courtside seats whenever he wants, probably getting a lot more.
