Cut candidate? I thought his option for this upcoming year was already guaranteed though?

This might be a precursor to a Nance trade.

I think this move saved the Suns approx. $5 mil in Luxury tax payments.

NBA Contracts: 16 (14 Guaranteed, 2 Unguaranteed) PG: Trae Young, Kobe Bufkin, SG: Zaccharie Risacher, Bogdan Bogdanovich, Garrison Mathews (UG) SF: DeAndre Hunter, Dyson Daniels, Vit Krejčí, Mouhammed Gueye PF: Jalen Johnson, Larry Nance Jr., David Roddy C - Onyeka Okongwu, Clint Capela, Cody Zeller, Bruno Fernando (UG) Two way contracts: Seth Lundy(2W), Keaton Wallace (2W), The rest: Nikola Đurišić??

We are replacing DJs 3s made with Zacc and Dyson so we have no idea what that looks like yet. More importantly, what I think/hope will happen is Trae and Hunter will have more attempts, and even Bogi. TAhe biggest jump should be from JJ. Meanwhile Garri Bird still has a flame thrower, but he'll need more attempts.

Called it!

24. Miami Heat: Jalen Johnson 24 OF 31 Garrett Ellwood/NBAE via Getty Images What could be better than nabbing an uber-athletic two-way forward who can guard all positions and fit most lineup types? It's almost as if packing five years' worth of drafts into one first round makes everyone a steal. Jalen Johnson, a rim-rocker on the break, turned into a core piece for the Atlanta Hawks last season, increasing his numbers across the board to 16.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks per game. He's already the Hawks' second-best player, and there's an outside shot the 6'9" forward becomes the franchise face, depending on what happens with Trae Young. The Duke product features solid handles for someone of his stature and has shown good instincts in setting up his teammates, and while he's not a polished defender yet, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra would make quick use of his switchability on that end. For an idea of the lofty heights some in the industry think his peak could reach, here's Yahoo's Jake Fischer on the 22-year-old: "I don't know what his ceiling is going to be, but the dude at his peaks this year is giving kind of scary flashes of Blake Griffin with the Clippers and Ben Simmons in Philly before, obviously, Ben fell off." Slotting him alongside Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo for another run through the Eastern Conference gauntlet sounds like an intimidating proposition for opponents. —Dunbar https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10128645-ultimate-nba-5-year-re-draft-using-2019-through-2023-classes
