Unless he's seriously considering playing for the QO, which I doubt, the Oct 1 deadline is meaningless. The QO is a formality. If a one-year contract is what he wants, I'm sure the Suns would be willing to pay him a fair salary (~$11M) for that one year. Obviously the Suns would prefer to have him l...

I think this is my favorite part: Ask around, Eric. Talk to players in the league, teammates, former teammates, coaches and assistant coaches that aren't based in Phoenix. You will be hard-pressed to find ONE that doesn't believe the offer that Phoenix has on the table for four years and $48 million...

Gambo makes a lot of sense, but it makes me think of this statement from a Chris Mooney article on motivated reasoning: And that undercuts the standard notion that the way to persuade people is via evidence and argument. In fact, head-on attempts to persuade can sometimes trigger a backfire effect, ...

They (or the people to whom they pander) actually believe there is no bigger problem facing America than the fact that Barack Obama is President.

Tucker is presumably under advice of his lawyer not to discuss the matter until the legal case is resolved. As soon as it is, however, I hope he becomes very vocal about it. He needs to offer some big mea culpas, and use his position as a public figure to teach other people not to make the mistake h...

Yes, they do blow over. I like the idea of offering him 2/24 with a PO after 1. I'm not trying to get a max player for $12M. I'm reluctant to give him max at this time because of his injury history, and because I'm still feeling the sting of giving Boris Diaw a big contract after one magical season....

According to the law (A.R.S. 28-1382), the minimum sentence for a 1st offense with BAC >= 0.20 is 45 days in jail (plus fines and assessments that are a pittance for someone of Tucker's means).

Did the Suns actually say they would match a 4/63 offer from another team, but won't offer more than 4/48 unless forced to do so by another team's offer sheet?

The Suns should have some consequence for paying him that deal knowing what he did. Technically, it's just what he "allegedly" did. Standard operating procedure in cases like this is for teams and the league to treat the player with a presumption of innocence until the case is resolved. A...

I'm cool with that, as long as he gets to serve his time during the off season.

He did this before signing that big contract.

Better to get caught than to keep doing it until you kill someone, but better still not to do it in the first place. It's extremely disappointing when such a fan favorite does something so irresponsible and stupid.

Taking the QO is extreme. If he prefers flexibility to security, I think he can get 2/24 with a PO after 1. If I am the Suns, I refuse to do that. I would give him 3/36 with a po for a 4th but that's it. You have to maintain some continuity to build a team. It's better for both sides than the QO. W...

I'm even dumber. I assumed he was the son of the Biblical prophet.

Taking the QO is extreme. If he prefers flexibility to security, I think he can get 2/24 with a PO after 1.

Does he realize how alone he is in his assessment of his value, or has his agent told him, "Don't read the media. Trust me — they're siding with us"?

What does that even mean, using the RFA system against him?

Why not? Kirk and Spock and the Doctor do.
