Looks like the gang is getting back together. Basically swapped out Craig for Shemut as far as minutes go. Just need a beefy PF and all set I think for another run next year.

Got our backup center in Javale McGee. Gotta like that.

Yeah that could be a sneaky good pickup that fills a big need.

Chris Paul told @YahooSports about the moment JaVale McGee caught his attention and how six meaningless minutes made a huge impression, resulting in the big man landing in Phoenix. pic.twitter.com/8SxHqXtHRB

McGee was a great as a Laker, always brought good energy. He's really turned his career around since his early days.

Suns have Jalen Smith and a Jaleen Smith on their Summer roster.

Suns are gauging trade interest for Jalen Smith, likely looking for a veteran forward who can help win now. Thaddeus Young and Larry Nance Jr have been mentioned as possible targets.

Suns are in win now mode. CP3 isn't getting any younger. If you can get a competent, proven PF in return for a young forward that may or may not develop into a solid player, you do it. What the Suns can't afford is Jalen becoming Bender or Chriss 2.0

Plus stix may not be ready to replace Saric's role. If Dario doesn't tear his ACL I think they could afford to wait.

I'm a Warriors fan, but I'm digging what the Suns franchise is doing with their uniform designs. Opening up to feedback may make them inundated with both positive and negative comments, but I appreciate their transparency and research.
