I thought that Teletovic would play in Europe next year...hopefully he is healthy, our medical staff is the best in the business.

Mirza already recovered from blood clots which sidelined him until playoffs.He was having trouble staying on court because of that hence poor shooting in last year.He can basically be your replacement Frye.Stretch 4's in today NBA are hot commodity, most of them got 8+ per year but being RFA hurt his stock, so i guess 5.5 for him is good deal for both sides.

This blood clot thing is out hand for relatively young guys. Long trips in planes have got to be a concern for these tall guys. Would guess the training staff is going to make sure they get up and move around every 30 minutes or so.

this is a good signing. he's the real deal as a shooter, maybe the best shooter on our team now after knight (and booker i guess if you count him). so nice to have such a good shooter at the 4 again

If Suns a stretch 4, they should be all over this.

For reals. Should be able to get this dude for cheap.

I called it! I actually called like a week ago as well when people here wanted to give up assets for guys like Anderson and Frye.

This is so much better than the Markieff + 1st round pick it would have taken to get Anderson. Brilliant!

I remember wanting Mirza during the season. Dude can hit buckets. Perfect stretch four if he can stay healthy. Was solid for a couple of weeks when I had him in fantasy. I think he had a couple of 6 three point made games.

Thank god for this signing. This means I won't have to see much of Leuer on the court. Also understanding the motive behind that trade. Acquire the scrub who seems to always have career games against you so he can't do any more damage.

That's our current roster of fourteen players ... McNeal might be waived. One or two spots left for the summer team to compete for.

Switch Booker and Goodwin!

Man, not bad........

Absolutely love this signing. To think our craptastic roster turned into this. Not too bad.

Last year Horny didn't really have an option at PF if he was having problems with the Morii. Now if Kief gets uppity just start Teletovic and plant his azz on the bench for a few games.

Booker will not likely see daylight on the court this season and will really struggle to crack the rotation with the number of wings crowding the depth chart. This is Archie's prove it or move it year where he needs to showcase himself so that we can assess our future at SG regarding whether BKnight makes a smooth transition and the impending arrival of Bogdan.

So no Ryan Anderson?

Have to wonder if the Suns are gonna run Goodwin at PG. Hope he worked on his ball handling and three point shooting this summer.

Unless Goodwin comes out on fire, I don't see him on the Suns past this year. He has not had any visible on the court improvements since being draft. What's also hurting him is being a "shooting" guard and lacks the ability to "shoot!" But yeah, this is a major prove it year for Archie.

i texted my wife to inform her that the suns signed mirza teletovic and that's good bc he's a great shooter at the PF who has excellent hair.

she said that when you google 'mirza teletovic' the second autofill is 'mirza teletovic hair.'

FYI.

yeah in the interview at the end, he says that he can read the Spurs defense a lot better because they play a European style that he understands. Really stoked for this signing.
