Do we have the Room Exception once everyone signs?
No, that was used on Kaminsky
Ah, that's right. Forgot about him.
And in 2 years we all will too. Hel be added to the list with all the other under the radar signings that stayed under the radar along with: Sonny Weems, Josh Childress, Stromile Swift, Marcus Banks, Trevor Ariza,

Ehh, I don’t expect anything from frank, but he’s a cheap contract that I doubt we’ll ever worry about.

Jamaychal Green got the same 2/10 contract. Would have him rather than Kaminsky by a mile.

Agreed, but he wasn't signing that deal here.

Denver traded a protected 1st to OKC for Jerami Grant. LOVE that deal for Denver. He's perfect next to Jokic and would have been great next to Ayton.

Great deal by Denver. Would not be shocked if they won't the west nxt year.

Guys I'm a little confused. Is there a typo in this Woj tweet? He's saying that OKC traded away one of their promising young players, saving $39m in the process, and *received* a draft pick back? A 1st-rounder? That's a typo, right? You have to trade *away* a pick to get rid of a talented young player, right? Is Woj confused or something?

Not trying to defend the warren trade, but we traded him at the worst possible time if we were expecting value in return.

They had to hurry up and get under the cap so they could..they were doing it to resign...they were gonna use the cap space to go and get...

It’s the Suns. It’s what they do. :lol:

Ya, I know why we did it when we did. Just pointing out theat capspace is the most valuable right before free agency. I bet we could have traded him at the trade deadline for an expiring contract and an additional asset.

Well you know more than me then. Since we haven’t signed Oubre, I’m not sure why we did it. I mean partly for Rubio but I’m not sure why we were in such a rush

I think we did it so we could add Saric and Baynes and still have the cap space to go out and sign Rubio.

I believe we still could have had the cap space by dumping Okobo and renouncing Oubre. It’s gonna look really bad if we lose Oubre and could have still had Warren.

That's a shame. The Morris Twins are nothing but class. I hope this doesn't change the perception on them.

Good point. It would be a real downer if after such perfect behavior thus far, this one mistake would ruin their stellar reputations.

We want to keep Oubre, I’d much rather give up 32 to dump warren than lose Oubre for nothing.

I’m also not worried in the least about Oubre. He’ll sign at some point.

And then be unhappy the rest of his time with the team...like Bledsoe? I don't like the effects of these summer-long standoffs.
