I was just being funny. I was under the impression we could have both guys if we stretched Tyler. Maybe we will. Seems like an easy decision.

"Ok Devin, take your pick - Kelly or D'Angelo".

Could you imagine Devin's reaction if we don't even make a play for Russell and then decide not to match Kelly.

I've seen this around a lot. Why does he have to make a choice? Because they expect Kelly to get an offer of $20 mil per? If they stretch Tyler or dump Josh and Okobo, they could pay DLo and match or sign Kelly.

I don’t expect them to be able to offload Josh and Okobo. Josh didn’t have a ton of value before his offseason issues and is an albatross contract now. Okobo didn’t do anything let season to warrant guaranteed money. If I’m James Jones id be cashing in some favors. Let’s see LA and Miami owe us each one by my count.

Well an eggplant is a dick so it means Woj is a dick. Unless it’s supposed to be a bomb.

Every season you can make the argument for why "this year will be different."

And he does!

I just find life more enjoyable being optimistic. If we end up sucking, at least I had these 4 months of hope. Being pessimistic would mean I could possibly waste 4 months being pissed at how much we suck to find out we didn’t actually suck.

Truth is, none of us know exactly how this plays out. Everyone in the entire world(including our own front office) thought that 13-14 suns team would suck. They won 48 games. Everyone also thought last year’s Kings team would suck. They didn’t. Everyone, outside of suns fandom, will expect us to suck next year, but I think we’ve made enough adjustments that we won’t.

I'm with you, Split!

And we appreciate all the positive fans that keep this site worth logging into.

I've tried to be an optimist over the last few summers, but I ran out of hope about 20 games into the season last year. Here's to a season when the optimists are right!

Ya, we are set up pretty nicely to strike big in 2020 or 2021 free agency. A big reason why I don’t think we need to do anything drastic this free agency. Just sign a competent pg to a 2 year deal and go from there.

Suns have spent like 4 years “setting themselves up” for a big move. Time is up. Need to stop dithering, be concise, and go out and get another piece to build on.

I’m not a huge DLo fan but Booker wants him, it’ll keep him happy, and he fills a huge need so go and do it. No more stop gaps. That means no Collison; Joseph, Rubio, or whoever else Gambo has advocated we make a run at. I’d rather make a bold move and have it backfire then spend another 4 seasons wallowing without direction.

Russell already took a bunch of nobodies to 42 wins and the playoffs. Imagine what he could do with Ayton and Booker.

We have to stop treating Devin with kid gloves and giving him agency in personnel decisions. He is simply not the level of player you give that power to.

Oubre's a 3rd star worth 20-24mil on a good team.

This is shortsighted. What will keep Booker happy is to be on a contender. Bringing in his buddy is just momentary pacification.

Shel, he has been mediocre his entire career. A guy doesn't achieve "3rd star" status based on a few months of good basketball on a terrible team.

Paying that for Oubre is nuts. I would let him walk. And if the Suns didn't have a strong indication they could retain him, then not keeping 6 a picking Culver will seem absolutely silly.
