I could see the Lakers making a play for him if they strike out in free agency.
Re: Suns News: 2019 Off-Season
I hope so. I hope they take on that contract.

Stop over reacting. He only averages 41.3M dollars a season and he will only be 36 the final year and he only misses about a quarter of the season each year.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2019 11:42 amIf the Suns go after Chris Paul I'm going to barf. That would be a disaster.

Re: Suns News: 2019 Off-Season
I would be delighted to see the Lakers get Chris Paul. This would doom them for the next 2-3 years to be a fringe playoff team that gets bounced in the first round. I would l-o-v-e it.

Re: Suns News: 2019 Off-Season
Bringing Randle in would get me legitimately excited. He's got a PO for 9mil so he'd have to opt out.
Re: Suns News: 2019 Off-Season
We’d have to create some more space as we could only offer a 10.1 million starting salary.
Re: Suns News: 2019 Off-Season
Him and a competent PG and I'd be through the moon.

Re: Suns News: 2019 Off-Season
He's not a great fit with Ayton on either side of the ball, but he's a legitimately good player and fits a position of need, so I'm in favor as well.
I did think it was interesting how Bender outplayed him in their last matchup after Randle crushed Bender last season.

Re: Suns News: 2019 Off-Season
Rather keep Bender. Awful fit even if I like him as a player. We have to run 4 out I think like Orlando did with Howard. We need shooters not paint cloggers. I have a feeling with Jones comments recently we may be looking at building a traditional half court team though.
