Don't get me wrong, give Booker the max, but why is he getting an extension now? Isn't the team just throwing away half of the cap space next year? It's not like he will turn down the max contract next summer, and he's getting the same money anyway. As competitive as Booker appears to be, it seems ...

I bet McDonough would love to add another small forward.

I love how McDonough was trying to end the Ariza press conference and some media member made him talk about the Booker situation.

Have you all seen this photo? His hands are so huge that it looks like he is throwing a ping pong ball! :shock: https://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/c9d1f98d0f8cc82ae6ec92fea1fc73fd8c486c72/c=0-36-2259-1734/local/-/media/2018/07/01/Phoenix/Phoenix/636660721869598120-uscpcent02-70tuoxfo96euemkt14t-origin...

Since the Lakers have cap space, I feel like they’ll just wait until next summer to sign Leonard, and if he no longer wants to come to LA (like George), then they’ll just sign another max star instead. Plus they get to keep their young players. That would make total sense if LeBron was a few years y...

Cousins only makes sense in GS. If a team like the Suns were to sign him, they'd only have him for 1 year. Because we'd still need cap room next year to be able to retain him. Zach Lowe explains this on his podcast really well. He needed a team that had a open roster spot for a center that would be...

I look at it more long-term than that. Since 1990, Tony Parker (twice) and Steph Curry (three times) are the only two point guards to win a championship in the same year they made an all-star team. The other 23 years it didn’t happen. If we can develop a “Shaq and Kobe 2.0” type of team, I don’t th...

I think we’re too used to having a star point guard as Suns fans. Most championship teams don’t have all-star point guards, whether it’s the Bulls/Rockets in the ‘90s, Lakers in the 2000s, or Heat in the 2010s. Yes, but... the way the game is played and officiated nowadays has changed the worth of ...

Apparently, Cousins did not get any offer from any team in the NBA, so he reached out to the Warriors. https://www.sbnation.com/2018/7/3/17530020/demarcus-cousins-warriors-zero-offers-free-agency-pelicans This is disgusting. Suns could have had him for 1 year/15 million easily. Instead of Ariza. Pa...

Just give it to him. It's 5 years away. Lock him up with no ill will.

Absolutely. If he wants a player option, give him a player option. I feel like they’re gonna find a way to screw this up, as has happened so many times before, where they start creating ill will.

No news on a Booker extension? Could this mean he's willing to wait to sign until next offseason?

I hope we don’t even present that as an option to him. That would be the riskiest, stupidest thing the Suns have ever done. And that’s saying a lot obviously.

I was never high on Len, in fact I was hoping he would have been gone last year, so I'm looking forward to the time when we can stop discussing what went wrong...I just don't think he's very good at basketball I hated the Len pick when it happened. I was uspet that they passed on Ben McLemore thoug...

I think Ayton could be the first #1 pick to average 20/10 in his rookie season since Blake Griffin (9 years ago). That should be his goal at least.

Trying to make sense of where we are:

PG: Knight/Harrison/Okobo
SG: Booker/Daniels/King
SF: Jackson/Bridges/Reed
PF: Ariza/Warren/Bender/Chriss/Peters
C: Ayton/Chandler

Mmm.. that screams 37 wins.

I think we'll win between 36 and 42 games this season.
