Re: SUNS 2014: Free Agency

No but that seems to be the consensus of what he'll get offered.
Well, unlike you I don't overlook the importance of being considered by top tier free agents. It legitimizes your front office. Just like if James were to take a meeting with the Suns, it's a big get for them even if he doesn't sign.SwingMan wrote: Bummer, my ass (no pun intended) - I want nothing to do with the fucking cancer.....
Dude - hate to break it to you late & all, but he isn't even considering us. Otherwise, what you're saying goes, well, without saying. And, unlike you, I'm looking for the *right* free agents to consider us as opposed to depending on an oogle-like worship over names.carey wrote:Well, unlike you I don't overlook the importance of being considered by top tier free agents.

As for the player, I'm not his biggest fan but I sure wouldn't pout if he became a Sun that's for sure. Especially considering iso buckets during crunch time was our biggest weakness and that's Anthony's biggest strength.
Yeah - so much so that Denver shipped his ass not long after.In2ition wrote:Was Anthony a cancer when he took the Nuggets to the WCF or when he won two Olympic gold medals, or when he won a NCAA championship at Syracuse?
I'm not a huge fan of his ball stopping, but I don't think that's entirely his fault. I think on different teams, he has shown that he's not a ball stopper and just gets buckets.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they shipped him out because he said he was going to leave in free agency.SwingMan wrote:Yeah - so much so that Denver shipped his ass not long after.In2ition wrote:Was Anthony a cancer when he took the Nuggets to the WCF or when he won two Olympic gold medals, or when he won a NCAA championship at Syracuse?

Only time he wasn't a ball-stopper was on the USA teams - NOBODY could be a ball-stopper there or he'd likely get the shit kicked out of him by egos that are on the same level.....
I can't recall - it was 2010, so it's possible.In2ition wrote:Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they shipped him out because he said he was going to leave in free agency.SwingMan wrote:Yeah - so much so that Denver shipped his ass not long after.In2ition wrote:Was Anthony a cancer when he took the Nuggets to the WCF or when he won two Olympic gold medals, or when he won a NCAA championship at Syracuse?

I don't know if it is the consensus, but last summer there were rumors that Utah was offering 4/40+ and he rejected it, pretty much like Bledsoe and the Suns. Given his RFA status, I think you are looking at 12M per at least, and I am not sure the Jazz let him go for that amount. They have never been a FA destination and their cap situation is as good as it gets.ShelC wrote:No but that seems to be the consensus of what he'll get offered.
Agreed.Shabazz wrote:I really don't see the big deal about LeBron's agent screening the meetings with his suitors. He'd probably get criticized for making teams do the whole 5 star pitch thing, too.

So you'd rather lose than have the best player in the world play for your team?SwingMan wrote:Leave the SOB in his vacuum-sealed bubble - there's plenty who live in the real world that'd dig playing here as opposed to having people jerk-off their ego.
I'm for standing pat & taking care of our own.....
Elhassan broke down what each free agent should be commanding. Here is Frye's:Ring_Wanted wrote:Also read that Hawes is demanding around 8M per from the Cavs. Maybe that's why they are looking at Frye, who supposedly he can't command that.
