Check Brandon Clarke's measurements too. Wingspan same as his height.
Come on, give them a little more credit than that. I’m sure they have a Synergy account as well.djy2j wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2019 7:59 pmSettle down Cap.

They used to, but they fired the guy with the login/pass and never forwarded his emails. So when the renewal notice came through, it was missed.JeremyG wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 1:38 pmCome on, give them a little more credit than that.

Interesting list but...In2ition wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 8:49 amI could be missing a few, but here is a decent list.Wormwood wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 8:36 amRealistically, the Suns only have a chance at obtaining either:
a. A guy who isn't really a PG via the draft (White, Colbert)
b. A guy who was injured who is a PG (Garland)
c. A third tier PG via free agency (Tyus Jones, McConnell) (<-- Probably the most likely)
d. Trade for a superfluous, older second-tier PG like Conley with a bad contract (e.g. Johnson + Warren for Conley or Teague).
UFAs at pg - Collison, Rozier(Yuk), Rubio, Rose
RFAs at pg - DLo, Satoransky, Tyus Jones, McConnell
Possibly on trade market - Lonzo, Conley, Dinwiddie, Lowry, VanVleet
Possibly available at 32 - Carson Edwards(killer, shooter, strong, reminds me of Lowry a little), Jalen Lecque(might be a better athlete than Ja), Arturs Zagars(draft and stash, great shooter, super crafty and shifty guard with Nash, Curry, Young type of feel for the game with quick release, finishes like Kyrie around the basket, but better more willing passer)
I'm telling you guys, next year's PGs in the draft will be all-time good with talent and depth. It's bad value to waste it on a PG at 6 this year.
Satoransky is a pg/sg, and played pg pretty well in Washington with Beal, but...whatever.Wormwood wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 3:15 pmInteresting list but...In2ition wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 8:49 amI could be missing a few, but here is a decent list.Wormwood wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 8:36 amRealistically, the Suns only have a chance at obtaining either:

Too old: Conley, Rubio, Rose, Lowry
Not a PG: Satoransky
No way their team will let them go: VanFleet, DLo, Lonzo
No way we want them: Rozier
Out of our price range: DLo, Dinwiddie (e.g. cost will vastly exceed our cap space)
What's that leave? The two guys I mentioned: Jones and McConnell.
I can’t see that happening. Teams may not go all in for the playoffs, but they won’t lose games on purpose if there is a chance at the playoffsFlagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 4:28 pmI think we'll see a new version of tanking where teams in the 8-11 position try to subtly not make the playoffs. It won't be nearly as bad as we've seen in recent years with some teams seemingly packing it in before the All-Star break.
I think it'll be situational. If a fringe playoff team's best player is injured or they're on the verge of a rebuild, for example.Split T wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 4:43 pmI can’t see that happening.

I’m not too worried about that...for instance a team like New Orleans this year who got blindsided by AD...I’m ok if they don’t go all in on the playoffs. Hopefully the tanking we’ve seen of years past stops.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 4:46 pmI think it'll be situational.

Conley would be a total upgrade. Hes a top PG in the league with 21 and 6 while making multiple players better. Think what this would do for Ayton, Bridges, Booker- including Melton and Okobo. Opens up the floor and gives you a general.Wormwood wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 8:36 amRealistically, the Suns only have a chance at obtaining either:
