Around the League: The Off-season
Re: Around the League: The Off-season
I bet I can guess exactly what’s happening with Oubre. He Laid back in June and took the Suns on their word that he’d get a contract and then the Suns low balled him he told his agent to go out and get a better offer to sign and will now call their bluff. Bet me.

Re: Around the League: The Off-season
Kaminsky is not horrible. He is pretty inconsistent though. There are stretches where he is actually pretty good. Let's hope that those stretches are a little longer with the Suns.
Why are we so worried about a guy that would have been 2x better than Bender was last year, and this year he is the backup? I would have rather had Vonleh myself, as it seems that the defensive end is a little unattended to so far, but with that said, we have 2 guys better than anyone playing the PF position last year.

Always liked Green but figured there wouldn't be interest on either side.
Re: Around the League: The Off-season
That could be true. However, if Kawhi signs with the Lakers the only team left with the cap space to offer him a big contract will be the Clippers, and they might not want to.djy2j wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2019 3:51 pmI bet I can guess exactly what’s happening with Oubre.

Re: Around the League: The Off-season
It could’ve been the other way around, easily. Perhaps they have an early agreement around, let’s say $14, and after the crazy contracts handed out on day one, Oubre’s agent went for the fences and asked for more, and the FO told them, go get a QO like that and then we talk. I’m guessing that our disinterest on Russell, wasn’t about talent, but about fit and pricetag, and they resisted the temptation of a flashy signing, in favor of team construction. If that’s the case, they probably have as well a pricetag limit on Oubre, and will let him go if it comes to that, fine by me, I sincerely don’t see how he is worth $20 a year, neither $18, except for the year he got to hit the market. Considering TJ Warren’s contract a bargain, then I would value Oubre around $15. Above mid level exception, but heavily far from max money, so half way seems right to me.djy2j wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2019 3:51 pmI bet I can guess exactly what’s happening with Oubre.

You can always ask for more, but it doesn’t mean you are worth it, neither that you have a market for you value, i.e. this year DeMarcus Cousins.

Re: Around the League: The Off-season
I don't think WCS really fit here, but yeah, the Vonleh one hurts. He is better than Kaminsky.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.
Re: Around the League: The Off-season
Good. The Lakers need someone to bring "toughness" on the court and opinions on twitter.
Duds was one of my favorite Suns, but I hate the player he has become. I'm glad he's a Laker so I can hate him with a clear conscience.

Re: Around the League: The Off-season
Please Kawhi, PLEASE! Don't go to the Lakers.
I'm not a Laker hater, and I'm not even saying this as a Suns fan; I'm saying it as an NBA fan. PLEASE!

Re: Around the League: The Off-season
You're probably right abot WCS. I was disappointed about Vonleh and the defense and different look he would have provided mainly.

Re: Around the League: The Off-season
I honestly wouldn't mind bringing Cousins in on a 1-year deal. Someone to go hard at Ayton every day in practice, a stretch-5 that can give us a different look when Ayton isn't playing. I think his chemistry/personality issues are overblown.
Re: Around the League: The Off-season
Why hasn't anybody gone after DeMarcus Cousins yet? If he recovers and loses a few pounds this offseason, couldn't he end up being a really good center for somebody? What team still needs a big man?
Re: Around the League: The Off-season
He switched agents to try and find a deal but he's been off the radar for the most part. He didn't look good in the playoffs, understandably. I like the Heat as a fit if he can get into shape. Not sure who else...Clips? Spurs? Probably going to have to be another 1yr deal to show can he play and move.
