I hope season ticket packages are discounted appropriately. I'd be pretty pissed if they weren't.

Here's a clip, and there is plenty more from that channel.

BTW I've watched several clips and seen Booker only make like one shot. I know it's just practice, but I think he's adjusting to all the new muscles he's getting.

The Suns are $3.83 million below the minimum salary floor set for the 2016-17 season. If they don't get over that threshold by the end of next season, the remaining amount will be sent to the NBPA and the funds will be dispersed to the players on the roster.

But we don't have a full roster yet, do we?

The Suns have more than $13 million of salary-cap space remaining and 14 players under contract for next season (12 guaranteed) with a capability to carry up to 15 players. They are more than $3 million shy of even hitting the NBA team payroll minimum of $84.73 million and likely will not do so, putting themselves in an advantageous in-season trade position, where they could take on a huge difference in salary.

Salary for Tax & Cap purposes is calculated the last day of the regular season.
As for our full roster, I don't know why Coro said we have 14 with 12 guaranteed. http://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/nba/suns/2016/07/20/phoenix-suns-likely-hold-13m-cap-space-later/87348780/ Lets count and someone tell me where I'm wrong...
1) Bledsoe
2) Knight
3) Booker
4) Barbosa
5) Goodwin
6) Ulis
7) Tucker
8) Warren
9) Bender
10) Dudley
11) Chriss
12) Chandler
13) Len
14) Jenkins (Non-guaranteed)
15) Williams (Non-guaranteed)The Suns have more than $13 million of salary-cap space remaining and 14 players under contract for next season (12 guaranteed) with a capability to carry up to 15 players.

Williams, the Phoenix native who spent the final five weeks of last season with the Suns, appears to be part of the Suns' plans for 2016-17 after being selected to the all-NBA Summer League first team and having the Suns general manager say he has "a very good chance" of securing a roster spot. Williams’ $874,636 contract salary for next season becomes guaranteed if he remains on the Suns roster by Sept. 1.
“Chances are, he’ll have a spot,” Suns GM Ryan McDonough said. “We do have until September 1 to figure it out. We told him to plan on being around our group and keep coming in to work out. He’s a native Phoenician so he’s here most of the time. He spent a ton of time in the gym and I think you see the improvement in his body and game as well.”
good for him OGBAH wrote:Dirk got paid

I know it's good experience, but Booker is too good for this team. At 19 years old, he put up over 1,000 NBA points. Only Lebron, Kobe, and Durant have done it younger. He's the most promising player on the roster. I see a a lot of scrubs.
