The Phoenix Suns, after releasing Nassir Little earlier this week, have opened a roster spot. An open roster spot, you say? That’s right. Little’s three-year, $22 million contract — which proved to be too hard to sell anyone on — is now gone. It’s a smart financial move for the Suns, both short-term and long-term.
And yes, it opens a spot up on the roster.
How the Suns will navigate that open roster spot remains to be seen. This team has no shortage of players. 17, to be exact.
