Suns' reason for brutally cutting Jared Butler now makes complete sense

One of the more puzzling roster decisions the Phoenix Suns made ahead of the new season was to cut point guard Jared Butler from the roster. In a straight shootout with Jordan Goodwin, the former Philadelphia 76er lost the battle to be the third-string guy in The Valley, despite putting up 35 points in a preseason game on his way out the door.

Just before being axed we wrote about how the whole NBA owed Butler an apology, such was the offensive impact he made in a short amount of time. If you head over to Suns' Reddit - or social media in general - you will also see we were rightly ridiculed for that way of thinking.
