Re: Suns 2017 Free Agency

I think Len and Williams will see more interest once the big deals go through.

Re: Around the League: The Offseason

Also, wow, what's with Sacramento signing Zach Randolph? I don't get how he fits in on that team. Then they sign George Hill to get in the way of DeAaron Fox. Why would you draft a blue chipper rookie PG with a top-5 pick, but then immediately sign a mediocre veteran PG to put in front of him and s...

Boston needs to clear some space to sign him still. Anything we want from them?
Yes, they have a million future picks I want.

Re: 2017-2018 Salary Cap Numbers

This page could help keep things straight. I think it tends to be a couple of days behind the tweets.

Re: Suns 2017 Free Agency

I think about it this way: there are going to be 6ish guys on the roster who do not get regular playing time. There's just no way to play 15-17 guys, right? With those 6ish dudes sitting on the bench, how many do you want to be young dudes who need paying time to grow and build a career? I think tha...

Re: RE: Re: Suns 2017 Free Agency

I thought we were under the cap. We're now $10M under the cap. Can get down to $25M under by releasing various holds. Thanks for the info. So we are probably looking at being over the cap after signing rookies and one of Len / Williams. I really don't mind letting Barbosa go if he has another gig l...

Re: Suns 2017 Free Agency

Making room to bring on a contract? I like Barbs, and think we need old dudes on the bench. But if he can go somewhere and actually play, good for him. I believe his contract was fully-guaranteed tomorrow, so he's basically the victim of salary cap numbers. I don't think it means any other moves ar...

Re: Around the League: The Offseason

I certainly think he has a chance to be special some day, as the first two games are encouraging. He will be good for Gordon, giving them a little more length in the forward rotation. I'm not going to have a buyers' remorse after 2 SL games and not even seeing Jackson play yet. He was about what I ...

Boy does Isaac look good. I hope we didn't miss. I may have egg on my face but of course hard to say anything too definitive after a few Summer League games.

Re: Suns 2017 Free Agency

He can really rebound, though. Chandler / Williams / Len must be the best rebounding trio the Suns have ever fielded. (Fielded? There's no field involved but Courted sounds like something else.) Unfortunately, only Len played enough minutes to qualify on the BKREF leader boards. They require 1500 mi...

Re: Suns pursuing free agent Blake Griffin

It will be interesting to see if LAC make the playoffs this year. I predict they wont. I'll be interested to check back in on this thread at the end of the season and see who still thinks Blake to the Suns would have been good.

Re: Around the League: The Offseason

Ingles just got the BK contract. 4/$52M to return to Utah. But lucky for them they're not getting the BK production. No they're getting 7 points and 3 rebounds a game. And good defense and 44% 3 pt shooting And a good teammate that can handle the ball when needed and run the offense. And the best n...

Re: Around the League: The Offseason

That is a redickulous amount of money to pay to JJ Redick. I guess they have the cash to spare, but still. I like what they are doing. They overpay to get guys on one year deals, but they are getting veteran leadership without sacrificing future flexibility. Reddick also fills a need perfectly. I a...

Re: Suns pursuing free agent Blake Griffin

Well that DE-ESCULATED quickly. Ultimately probabaly best for the franchise and as much as Griffin is a D-Bag, or seems like one, I don't hold it against the guy to cancel a meeting with us after Clippers offered that money. Probabaly best not to waste our time. Hope this doesn't lead to us overpay...

Re: Suns 2017 Free Agency

I wouldn't count on it. We're probably going to get left at the altar again. Which I'm fine with as well. Same here. I'm pretty much 50/50 at this point, it'd be cool to win again but I'd like to develop the younger core more. Yep. Just don't do anything stupid, FO. All this. Please, Suns, don't tr...
