Dedmon is wildly overpaid. Hard pass unless he's attached to a more valuable asset.

I would be more into bringing Bobby Portis on board, I liked what I saw tonight and he would be fully interchangeable with an Ayton, Baynes, Portis, Saric rotation up front. Not sure what would I offer, since NY have a logjam to clear eventually and In deep necesity of swingmen, wich we happen to have some to spare, but either Mikal or Cam feels like an overpay, while Okobo feels too little. Of course poor TJ is pre requisited salary fodder, and perhaps he is going to the only NBA guard where he actually could be an upgrade, so MAYBE TJ plus Okobo and a 2nd could get the job done for Portis and filler.

I saw a rumor that Randal might be available. any interest in him?

I'm not really interested in any of the Knicks' PFs except for maybe Morris, which isn't happening. Portis is a black hole on offense, plays no D and is inconsistent. Randle needs to be a go-to offensive option to stay engaged and also gets tunnel vision with the ball. Not a great defender either. I think he and Ayton would get in each other's way.

Agreed. I didn't like the way any of the Knicks guys played. Most of them seemed to be chucking to try to get their numbers to look better in a future trade.

Yeah, their behavior looks the same way Suns players have played over the last few years.

That's the kneecap.

So, do the Suns make a move for another big body? A backup, not Love or KAT ...

It does seem like Saric has lost favor...he’s being squeezed from the lineup. Do we make a move for another 4? Or keep playing Ayton at the 4 and make a move for a backup guard?

I think Tyler is for sure getting moved, will be interesting to see what we do. I still think a move for Gallinari would be my top choice. At least over Love, Griffin, Gordon, or Aldridge.

What bench guards could we go after?

I'm starting to wonder why Randle gets moved around so much.

I'd take Bender as an end of the bench big for depth. I just like him, what can I say?

He'd be an end-of-the-bench guy. He plays better defense than Frank. He's cheap to get.
If you have a better, economical idea, let's hear it.

Sign Tarik Owens to a 2-way deal

We don’t even have a roster spot for Bender, so we’d have to cut someone to sign him.

Detroit is looking to move Drummond. He is going to opt out this summer and they do not want to pay him.

I believe they will take an expiring salary and a pick (protected) since he is a short-timer.

Tyler and Frank plus a protected pick should do it.

#BenderIslandIsNotEmpty

LOL!!!

Bender for the minimun instead of Kaminsky is not as crazy as it sounds right off the bat, but we need a real PF, at least bordeline starter quality.
