Free Agent Targets
Re: Free Agent Targets
That's just lazy. Collison already said he would take less to go to a contender than play for the Suns.
Rubio isn't a good shooter. I think you can cross him off the list.
Joseph? Meh to yuck.
Beverly is nice as a tough guy and culture setter, but is he still a starter anymore? I'd love him as a backup if they got a guy like DLo though.

This thread should be one giant sad face emoji.
Re: Free Agent Targets
I know this isn't a free agent, but what about a couple trades of Josh Jackson.
Perhaps Jackson to Sac for Bogdanovich?
Or Jackson to Detroit for cap space?
Jackson to Detroit for Glenn Robinson III(team option or expiring contract)?
Jackson to Detroit for Reggie Jackson(expiring contract)?

Re: Free Agent Targets
Is it sad that I’m at the point that I hope we sign Rubio? I’ve been pretty against bringing him in, but if it keeps us from Joseph, I’m all in.
Re: Free Agent Targets
The logic doesn't make sense. If we aren't pursuing Rubio because of his lack of shooting why would we go after Joseph?
Joseph 41/32/70
Rubio 40/31/85!
Plus you get better defense and better ball movement with Rubio. I'm not advocating either but rather I'm pointing out the lack of logic at play.

Re: Free Agent Targets
Yeah at least Rubio is a starting NBA point guard. And having one of those on our roster would seem like a miracle at this point.

Re: Free Agent Targets
My money is on Rubio at this point.

Re: Free Agent Targets
No it’s fine. We need to scaffold up every year. They need to build a competitive culture and add every year to the roster. Small market teams spend too much time losing holding out on building their rosters always swinging for a championship star but never really getting them and just standing pat until the perfect situation presents itself. Go for Dlo or Brogdon but settle for Rubio.

5th largest city in the country and we're somehow small market.

We are 11th among metro areas: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of ... ical_areas
But still, I don’t know why everyone calls it “small market.”

Re: Free Agent Targets
We don't spend like one. I'm not sure what the local tv contract is for the Suns but it must not be that great.
Go Suns!

It doesn't help that huge portions of The Valley are transplants or front-running LA/GSW/(insert winning team) fans.

Re: Free Agent Targets
Metro Phoenix is a spoke, not a wheel. And it doesn't have the hinterland that a city like Boston (smaller "metro" area) does:

Another issue is that Phoenix is more of a spoke than a hub, and lacks the corporate power of New York through Atlanta.

Re: Free Agent Targets
Gambo's been reporting names like McGruder, Aminu, Kaminsky, ThadYoung, Joseph, Mike Scott. Nothing too exciting but solid, playable guys. I've always liked Ish Smith and would probably like him more than Joseph. But these are stopgap players just to hopefully make us respectable. More than anything, we gotta get someone who wants to play here.
