[carey]

I saw that. That's nothing. But instead we're paying $3M a year for Anthony Tolliver? At least it's not $6M a year for Jody Meeks.

[TOO]

Damn, the Lakers finally did something good in free agency.

[Phoenix219]

I wonder if he turned down better offers for the chance to get exposure in LA...

[carey]

Do not understand FA this year.

How is Jordan Hill worth 9x Ed Davis?

[Shabazz]

I'd rather have given Tolliver's contract to Davis and Davis' to Tolliver.

[MightyMoog]

Being able to make a 3pt is worth a couple million apparently.

[Xylus]

It's going to be hard to sign Ilyasova to a max with that Tolliver money weighing us down.

[TOO]

How is Jordan Hill worth 9x Ed Davis?

Much higher hair to head ratio.

[INFORMER]

That's ridiculous that the Lakers got Davis for that cheap. Unbelievable.

[ShelC]

Is something up with him? Issues on/off the court? That just doesn't seem right. I know he's not an All-Star but still...

[Ring_Wanted]

Rodney Stuckey to the Pacers, one year.

Brandon Rush to the Warriors, two years.

DeJuan Blair to Washington, 3 years (team option) 2M per.

Former Suns warmup great James Jones to Cleveland on a one year vet him contract.

[ShelC]

I've always liked Blair. Wish we could've gotten him. As much as I like our team and FO/coaching staff, I hate that we're approaching the frontcourt the same way as in the past.

Usually it seemed to be get a great PF and partner him with a crap-ok C

Currently we only have the later.

It's a little sad that we're throwing tens of millions of dollars this offseason at point guards but we have almost nobody on the roster who is worthy of being in an NBA big-man rotation. I like Markieff and I like Plumlee, but that feels like a good bench to me, not a pair of starters.

It's frustrating for sure. Though our attack was obviously based on guard play last season it would have been nice to at least improve the position. Instead we've gone backwards.

[Wally_West]

Good for Jay Humphries but didn't D'Antoni hire him over Tom Thibodeau?

Yep.
