New Suns roster...as it stands today


With all this movement going on let's just recap who is (and isn't) on the Suns roster...

Star-divide

Centers:

1. Robin Lopez

2. Ben Wallace (sort of a center and sort of a Sun's "player")

Power Forwards:

3. Amare Stoudemire (still here...technically)

4. Louis Amundson (is not a center)

Tweener Forwards:

5. Jared Dudley

6. Earl Clark

7. Taylor Griffen

Small Forward(s):

8. Grant Hill ??? (Hill is a free agent and can't resign with the Suns until July 8...if he does)

Shooting Guards:

9. Alando Tucker

10. Sasha Pavlovic (until he's cut he's on the roster)

11. Jason Richardson

Combo Guard

12. Leandro Barbosa

Point Guards

13. Steve Nash

14. Goran Dragic

 

Somehow, I very much doubt that these 14 guys will be on the Suns roster come opening night

Ideally, IMO

Centers:
Chandler (for Wallace, obviously)
Lopez
Power Forwards:
Amar’e (don’t want him to go)
Lou
Tweeners:
Dudley
Clark
Griffin
Small Forwards:
Hill
Shooting Guards:
J-Rich
Tucker
Combos:
Leandrinho
Points:
Nash
Dragic

Few things, though,
1st – Josh Heytvelt wasn’t drafted, and I think he could be a good addition with athleticism and size
2nd – Wasn’t the 46th pick supposed to be traded to the Suns (Danny Green)?
3rd – Sign a young-ish/backup point guard like C.J. Watson. Shouldn’t be too much $9million/3years?

Those 3 moves with the cutting of Sasha, would put the Suns at 16. So maybe trade Griffin/Green in the Chandler deal?

why sign another backup PG?

we’ve already got one in dragic, and if the amaré deal goes through (and curry is involved), we have another backup PG/combo guard.

Dragic

Does not seem quite ready to play significant productive minutes. If they really want to rest Nash well, they’ll need a true point guard they can trust. Barbosa’s not quite a PG, and Dragic is a little to risky. Dragic has upside, but isn’t anywhere close to reaching it. Barbosa played nice, but Watson makes me a bit more comfortable.

If the Amar’e deal goes through, forget what I posted. I just don’t want him to go.

I trust him reasonably well

He improved a lot by the end of the season and seemed a capable backup – I think barbs, dragic, and curry if we get him could handle it all between them.

To Be Gone

Amare, Nash, Hill, Sasha

The only thing worse than being in a land war in Asia is to be trading partners with either the Atlanta Hawks or the Golden State Misfits.

Who are these guys again?
