The Suns waived Archie Goodwin – a move they tried to avoid – to keep John Jenkins and filled out the roster with Derrick Jones Jr – a move they did not see coming.
The Suns waited until after Monday’s practice to make what General Manager Ryan McDonough called “really tough decisions” in setting a roster of 15 players, the NBA maximum, that was due 90 minutes after practice.
In the end, McDonough said they did not see a way Goodwin would play meaningful time in a fourth Suns season.
“We told Archie Goodwin and his agent at the end of last season that if there wasn’t going to be an opportunity for him to play going into the last year of his deal, that we would try to help him get to a good spot,” McDonough said.
