No, he just disappeared without incidence.
I am concerned about him. He's been on these boards since at least 1995. That's a long time.
I'm always concerned about him. Here or not. Have you tried PMing him?
Yes, nothing yet.
He PM'ed me and said he'd kind of tuned the Suns out at the moment, which is completely understandable. But he's doing all right.
Good to know. Thanks for the update.

Glad to hear that he's around and well. Maybe a break from this Suns team is needed for some folks. Hope he'll come back someday when he's ready.

This isn't real, is it? It's facts though.

Kind of insane that it feels like Brooks has had a bigger positive impact than KD ever did. KD did have a massive impact, on the negative, unbothered side.

Ah, right. I wasn't thinking about negative impact. KD would probably win if that counts. But (Brooks positive) - (KD negative) = a huge positive.

… because the suns are under the aprons and there aren't more cap gymnastics needed at the moment?

Yabusele would be an interesting trade target

Perfect. Trade our backup center for another shooting guard. Why?

Unless they're sending Green out somewhere.... maybe Sabonis?

We are overthinking it. Convert an expiring contract for another expiring (I assume) and second round draft picks. I think it is time to throw Maluach into the fire anyway.

Virtual has it right. Send out our worst center for a pick. I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Agbaji is expiring and makes about 1.5 million more than Nick Richards too.

If they can get the trade done soon, they can repackage him with other salaries at the trade deadline.

I'm wondering if that's really the most we can get for Richards? Maybe it's just about the 2nd rounder? Also, would that affect any future deals if we don't have his $5mil to throw in?

Does increasing our cap by $1.5m push us back over the tax threshold? I thought we were just barely under it.
