The Suns signed two point guards in a row, and they should have received non-guaranteed contracts?

Basketball

According to the report of ESPN authoritative reporter Shams Charania, after the clarification period, the Phoenix Suns will sign Jordan Goodwin, a backcourt player who was just cut by the Los Angeles Lakers. According to another news from Shams Charania, Jared Butler, a former free agent backcourt player, has reached an agreement with the Suns, who received a one-year contract from the Suns.

Goodwin joined the Lakers as a two-way contract player in the middle and late last season, and received a standard contract for his outstanding performance at the end of the regular season. After joining the Lakers, Goodwin made a total of 29 appearances in the NBA regular season, averaging 18.7 minutes per game, averaging 5.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1 steal, 0.4 blocks, and 0.9 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 43.8%, three-point shooting percentage was 38.2%, and free throw shooting percentage was 81.8%. During the playoffs, Goodwin made a total of 4 appearances, averaging 7.8 minutes per game, with averaging 0.8 points, 1.3 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.3 steals, and 0.3 blocks, 0.3 turnovers and 1.8 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 20%, a three-point shooting percentage of 0%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 50%.

In the NBA regular season last season, Butler played 60 times for the Washington Wizards and the Philadelphia 76ers, averaging 17.4 minutes per game, averaging 9 points, 1.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.3 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.8%, a three-point shooting percentage of 35.5%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 82.4%. In the NBA Development League last season, Butler played 2 times for the Wizards' subordinate team, Gogo, with averaging 30.3 minutes per game, with averaging 22.5 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 1.5 turnovers and 2.5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 57.7%, a three-point shooting percentage of 42.9%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 75%.

With the completion of these two signings, the Suns' lineup currently includes 15 players holding standard contracts and 3 players holding two-way contracts. However, the Suns' current lineup includes three No. 1 players, Goodwin, Butler and Collin Gillespie, and they will also arrange Devin Booker as the starting point guard next season, which means that the team seems to have too many people in the No. 1 position. Goodwin's contract is definitely a non-guarantee contract, and his contract will not be converted into a security contract until January next year. I don’t know what adjustments the team’s lineup will be made next, nor do I know what kind of contract Butler got. Considering that he has no way to sign a two-way contract with the team, is he getting a non-guaranteed contract? Maybe both Goodwin and Butler need to go through the next training camp and preseason to win the opportunity to stay for themselves?
