Looks like Sun's mgt aren't the only ones questioning DAs 'max' value...

Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
We're putting way to much stock in articles written by people who really don't have any special insight into the situation between the Suns and Ayton.

Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
Well, I think every team in the league is probably interested in Ayton at a less-than-max contract level.Vladimir_Taltos wrote: ↑Sun Jun 26, 2022 7:16 amLooks like Sun's mgt aren't the only ones questioning DAs 'max' value...

Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
Everyone's favorite rumor meme is apparently risking it all as he made an appearance on local Phoenix TV.
At this point, if Kyrie leaves Brooklyn and KD doesn't end up in Phoenix, Suns fans might lose their shit.

Can’t find the post, but just wanted to concur with the person that summarized the recent Empire of the Suns episode - Kellan nailed it. One other point that he didn’t really hit on: if you’re going to have an outside-the-box, bare-bones draft strategy like Jones does, you better freaking nail the pick when you make it.

Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
Let’s go fellas! KD coming in 3 way trade, right?
Here’s hoping we don’t lose more than Ayton + Cam J and more than one pick to get him.
Let’s see what the Nets are gonna work out.

Yeah, his "this isn't shades of grey, this is black and white and what the Suns said is 100% wrong" was right on the money.Shabazz wrote: ↑Mon Jun 27, 2022 12:31 amCan’t find the post, but just wanted to concur with the person that summarized the recent Empire of the Suns episode - Kellan nailed it.

The part about the entire billion-dollar Suns organization has 14 people in Basketball Ops. FOURTEEN! TOTAL!?! Other teams have more than 14 scouts.

Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
What does this mean? Is that standard procedure? Can we still offer the 4 year max or does another team have to offer it and us match? If nobody offers him a contract, is he stuck with only this offer from us? I've been following the NBA forever but never pay attention to these kinds of details.

Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
Definitely took the bait!
Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
It's standard procedure. If we didn't tender the QO, DA would become unrestricted on Friday. Now he's restricted and the $16mil is kind of a placeholder. He can still sign a new deal with us or someone else, and then the first year's salary of the new deal replaces the $16mil. If he doesn't sign any deal, he plays out next season for $16mil and becomes an unrestricted free agent next summer.Superbone wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 12:22 pmWhat does this mean?
