Who do the Suns sign or trade for now?

Malcolm Brogdon? De'Anthony Melton?

Beal and Paul on the same team? Good luck LA. What's the over/under for games played combined by those two next season? 70?

Paul played all 82 last year.

Having a competent point guard is huge. So glad the suns signed Gilly and decided that was enough.

Does the regular season start next week?

Oso and Brea giving us a dose of reality tonight.

Can't pin the blame on Beal for this - the Suns know very well what the clauses in Beal's contract are and could have squashed rumours that it was imminent very easily.

This is likely Beal’s last “fuck you” to the franchise on his way out. Hell, it wouldn’t surprise me if he was insisting on getting a NTC for his new contract. I think this is exactly what the hold up is. He is probably looking for a 2-3 year deal with a NTC as he won't want to uproot his family aga ...

Overpay on Booker.

You can't pay a boarderline All-Star like he's a superstar.

Jones made some good transactions and some bad ones. That's the way it is in the business. You just try to hire the ones who make more good than bad.

This is a 2-way you guys…who cares

Probably just a SL guy, right?

He'll probably spend most of the year in the G League

One option is to split the mid-level exception, another is to trade one of the three players they have available for depth.

What about Allen & Richards for Kuminga? It would allow Golden State to re-sign Kuminga at about $22 million for the first year to make a sign & trade deal work.

The Suns will have 13 standard contracts after they buy out Beal. I'd like to see them use one of those roster spots for Chris Paul and then it looks like they may be looking to trade some combination of Allen, O'Neal and Richards for a starting PF. That would leave them with - C Mark Williams ...

He'll most likely be their 17th or 18th man, spend most of the year in the G League trying to re-establish himself. He a second round choice at PF/SF by Detroit that really didn't excel at anything, hurt his hip in his 3rd year, and has been out the last year-and-a-half.

I’m gonna guess they run with 14 and keep the last spot open.

There's still a lot of time to fill out that roster.

Ok here’s my pretty ridiculous theory… If we can get the Bradley Beal buyout down to 94 million(so he gives up just over 16m) then we swap Richards for a minimum contract, we could then aggregate Grayson and Royce together for Kyle Kuzma and finish under the 2nd apron without stretching Beal. I’m no ...

So dumb. I do not understand the strategy at all. If they were going to do it, why wouldn't they do it right as free agency began so they could utilize the savings? What is the point now? Just keep him and try to salvage his value or keep him home until he decides that he's willing to be traded ...

It's "town drunk syndrome." Back in the old Westerns it was a popular trope to have the good woman who though they could set the town drunk or the onery gunfighter toward the straight and narrow. There are plenty of coaches out there who think they're smart enough to get more out of a player, that ...

There's whispers that the Lakers would be interested if he's bought out. To hell with that. If they want him, and aren't giving into Lebron's demands, they can always...trade for him. I don;t see him going somewhere to be a third or fourth option. There will probably be teams out there that need ...
