There is still a two-way spot roster open, isn’t there? While the main focus is presumably on getting the lineup to mesh, it would seem worth bringing in another prospect who might be able to earn the full roster spot for the offseason. (Luka Samanic? Sharife Cooper? Jontay Porter?)


No we used up all the two-way contract that Ish Wainwright was under which is why he is under a regular contract now. I think...

I thought the limit was on how many NBA games a single player could play, rather than the roster spot - does that mean the total games from DWJ and Saben Lee combined also can’t exceed 50 (except the ones played under 10-day contracts)?

Could be a week or two, ugh. Hopefully five games max and still give him some time to gel with the team before playoffs.

Well that sucks

Good thing KD is the easiest superstar to plug and play

From what I remember hearing, Saben Lee could only play a limited amount of games, more limited because he took the two way spot that DWJ had and the amount of games DWJ has palyed counts for Saben Lee.

Have a feeling that Flex will be the guy that gives us an update on KD before anyone else.

I must’ve been watching a whole different game. Got any photos of air balloons? I always enjoyed watching them as a young boy sitting on my dads lap. Oh! The memories.

The floors were wet from all the excitement from the Suns cheerleaders knowing KD’s first game was moments away. Durant had no idea there was a huge puddle near the basket.

So much for that idea then. But weird that Saben Lee would see the court in a game like tonight’s if it means he could hit a game limit and not be available if another PG gets hurt.

I'm pretty sure the games limit is per player not per spot. Either way, Lee won't be available to play in the playoffs since he's on a 2-way

Pretty sure you can have as many two-way players as you want in a season, you can only have 2 at a time though.

KD getting injured in a freaking pre-game warmup is so PHOENIX SUNS.

I am really not sure where I heard that from then. :lol: it was probably somewhere on this board.
