All I know is that he's really bad at math.

Yeah. You're leaving 8 mil on the table for next year. It'll take 3 years of a max offer in 2015 to make up that money. So basically, either way you're making 48 or 49 million over the next 4 years. You either do 12/12/12/12 or 4/15/15/15. The catch is there is no guarantee you get a max deal next s...

A Randle + Warren 3,4 combo could be deadly in a few years. I'd rather shoot for that.

The problem with taking the QO for Bledsoe is that he'd be leaving 8 million on the table for next year. Assuming next summer he gets a max deal somewhere else, it would take him another 3 years before he would see a +1 million difference in money earned. Only in the 4th year of that deal would he a...

I think both sides are waiting to see what happens in september once all the rookies that were signed can be traded. I'm glad the Suns aren't budging. No one lost a championship but letting a player walk, only by giving out bad contracts. If he was truly a max player, we wouldn't be having this conv...

The CBA is doing what it's designed to do. Prevent players like Bledsoe from garnering unwarranted max contracts. It's letting the Market decide what he is worth.

Gordon Hayward is the barometer? Both He and Parsons got overpaid. What about Lowry? I think that's a more comparable deal for what's fair market value.

I still see the suns playing the short game and the long game. Let's say they get Randle. You now have your future starting 5 in Len, randle, warren, goodwin and ennis.

Randle would be amazing. We're not winning the ship anytime soon. Even if we'd have gotten Love. I see us on the same course as philly. But somehow we're managing to do it without sucking ass. I could just imagine a frontline of Len, randle and Warren in a few years. Plus we'd have another 3 picks n...

The problem isn't the money. It's the cap number. You give that much and you lose all flexibility. And until we find that go to guy, we need to stay flexible.

Seems like Philly is the only team that can offer more than 4/48. And they have no interest in winning. They're going to sit on their cap space for another year at the least. I feel like the Suns will match anything up to 4/55 range. That's why they haven't signed any offer sheets. Basically he eith...

Should almost be a criteria that you should make an all-star team or all-nba team before you can get a max contract.

Does anyone else have cap room left to offer him that? Would they want to?

I actually think Rockets, Warriors and Trail Blazers are the ones to slide if any. They were the pretenders to me. Grizz were without Gasol most of the year, and still made it as a 7 seed. They're a top 4 team. But then again, I think it will come down to injuries.

Being able to make a 3pt is worth a couple million apparently.

Good player worth about 6 mil per on a four year contract, or 8 mil on a 2 year deal. Markieff and Marcus can do the same things he did. We do need a banger though.

It's not our fault the Magic offered him 2-3 million per year more than he's worth. I'm happy for him. But no reason to complain. We're a small market team trying to be competitive.

Sad to see Ish go. Great player, hope he finds another team.

and he turned down more money from the lakers. I guess he got tired of being disrespected over and over again.

Memphis has an affinity for washed up has been all stars. i.e. Allen Iverson
