Right now it looks like he's just treading water and hoping they're sort of kind of competitive while he figures out what to do.

Doan wasn't going to sign with anyone until at least July 9th (today), pretty tough for Feaster to just sit there and wait it out, even then there was no guarantee Doan would leave Phoenix............he mentioned before that he was going to be more proactive on July 1st, he/they saw a player they wanted and went out and got him. Can't blame him too much for passing on Doan.
