Are there any subsequent arrangements? If a new player in the backcourt is cut, will he not join the Suns Second Team?

According to previous news, Jared Butler, a backcourt star who was previously in free agency, reached an agreement with the Phoenix Suns, who gave Butler a one-year contract. According to Arizona Sports 98.7 reporter John Gambadoro, what Butler got from the Suns was an insured contract, which is most likely a training camp contract.
, and according to further information from HoopsRumors reporter Arthur Hill, Butler received a training camp contract from the Suns that included Exhibit 9 clauses, which did not include Exhibit 10 clauses. In other words, Butler will appear in the Suns training camp and preseason, but if he is cut before the start of the NBA regular season in the new season, he is likely not to join the Suns' development league subordinate team in the NBA. Exhibit 9 clauses include injuries. If Butler suffers serious injuries in training camp or preseason, his contract will be automatically transferred to regular. Exhibit 10 is related to cash rewards. If Butler's contract includes Exhibit 10, if Butler cuts the Valley Suns before the start of the regular season and can stay on the team for 60 days next season, he will be able to receive up to $85,300 from the Suns. From this point of view, although Butler has completed the signing of the Suns, he should have some of his own follow-up arrangements.
Butler was born in August 2000 and is not yet 25 years old. He is 191cm tall and weighs 88kg. He is a backcourt player from Baylor University selected by the Utah Jazz in the 40th pick in the second round in the 2021 NBA Draft. In the NBA regular season last season, Butler played 60 times for the Washington Wizards and 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%.
While signing Butler, the Suns also claimed Jordan Goodwin, a backcourt player who was previously cut by the Los Angeles Lakers. Goodwin's contract is also a non-guarantee contract, which is relatively similar to Butler's situation. In this case, the Suns will only choose one of their two players. I wonder if Butler can stand out in the competition with Goodwin, and whether he can get the opportunity to become a regular person and continue to stay in the Suns in the new season?
