Per Woj, Suns are waiving Austin Rivers

After trade with Wizards, Suns agree to part ways with G Austin Rivers, per ESPN sources. Rivers – earning $12.6M in final year of deal – becomes a free agent upon clearing waivers. As a veteran, sides concluded Rivers fits better on an older team that's pursuing playoffs.
Obviously rivers isn’t close to a first, second, or third choice. But given our guard situation...should we?

I don’t disagree but we’re currently trotting out Harrison and Frazier so...

I haven't really followed him since he left, but I've seen him talked about like he's become a rotation worthy player. His per 36 stats from last year compare pretty favorably to Moore's stats this year. LINK He doesn't shoot as well as Moore but he's got about twice as many assists. A less efficient Moore with better creation abilities sounds like a better option than Clark/Frank.

Plus he gets to the rim.
I think it would be a good get for the Pels, tbh.

Lofty Woj bomb, mate

what are the suns doing?
effectively they bought a few months of Kelly Oubre for 12MM dollars and the right to match any RFA offers instead of gaining a draft asset for ariza

You don’t remember the Rivers years. They were painful

Rivers went and got coaching under Doc and Scott Brooks after being stuck with freaking Monty. I'll clarify...he went from "this player shouldn't be in the league" to
"this player could be a 10th-12th man on a good team".
He's nowhere near the same player.
And to answer OP:
Absolutely, yes we should.
Would I rather Frank Jackson take his lumps than Austin Rivers getting playing time? Yes. But that's apparently not going to happen, so I'll absolutely take Rivers eating minutes from Frazier/Miller/Harrison.

Yes

I would not hate him off the bench. He can defend and get to the rim. He will probably go to the Lakers

Don’t blame him after seeing Noah play in Memphis this year.

I really thought memphis had fallen off after last year. They've come back with a vengeance this year.

Not really “awful” anymore if you follow the nba.

missing Conley and Gasol for an entire season will do that to you
