Is she the one that said don’t be surprised about Kyrie and Phoenix?
I don’t recall her saying that but I guess it’s possible
98.7 said somebody was saying that. Not sure if it was her or not.
How much cap space do we have now? Around $25 million?
It depends on whether we sign Oubre (as well as all our other FAs like Holmes and Bender), and on whether we keep Tyler Johnson or stretch him. We don't currently have max cap room or close to it unless we renounce Oubre, which I don't think we would want to do.
From what I understand Oubre’s cap hold now isn’t what we sign him for if we wait and sign him last?

Should have about 20-21 but that jumps to 32ish if we waive and stretch Tyler

It would be nice to have Suns trade that you like straight away, rather than hope like crazy that it's part of some grander plan, which it never is. They sure know how to put a dampener on draft day.

I don't suffer from it anymore. I swear at this point it just amuses me. Honestly, I keep following just by pure habit.

For what it's worth, D'Angelo Russell posted this shortly after the Warren trade.

We can offer him a max contract at 12:01 now, and if he accepts all we have to do is stretch Johnson to get the space.

Gotta get at least a 2nd round pick in return for TJ.

Yeah, it seems like the Suns will pursue a veteran PG in general. No more youngsters.

Ah, the ol' Kurt Thomas special.
I'll reserve judgement until I see how it all plays out, but the first step is requiring a lot of blind trust.

Also, if we're going for Russell, drafting White doesn't make sense, which is what I said the other day.

So tired of this crap. It’s a joke of a team.

Russell-Booker-Saric would be stupid bad on defense and lack overall athleticism, even with Ayton and Bridges/Oubre.

I don't think it's so bad if they get Clarke.

Then what do you do with Saric?

What if they get Brogdon instead of Russell?

You play him.
You're over thinking it, IMO.
