What do you think the suns do next after Beal is bought out?

[JeremyG]

What about Allen & Richards for Kuminga? It would allow Golden State to re-sign Kuminga at about $22 million for the first year to make a sign & trade deal work.

Well if we waive and stretch Beal at the assumed amount(he gives up 14m), then we don’t even have to include Richards. We can take back more salary at that point, up to the 1st apron. So we’d have about 6ish million we could add onto Grayson.

We would still be above the cap, though, so we could only take back 125%.

It’s 100% + 8ish million now

I don't think Kuminga is the right fit for what we need. It's not horrible, but Green and Kuminga on the same roster is a little rough.

Ah thanks, I was probably confused because it’s still 125% for amounts above $29M.

He’s got 9 more hours:

Not likely to happen overnight.

Maybe 24-48 hours meant 1 to 2 days, meaning Monday or Tuesday? I’ll give him until the end of the day before saying he was actually wrong.

OK, sure. We're giving you the benefit of the doubt, Gambo!

$30M to Giddey is the way

[Superbone]

Well, that would make two of you Giddey anyway. I know ol' Popeye has hair envy.

[TOO]

Interesting, if the Suns part is already done, why we waiting on a Beal decision?

I'm sure the NTC has something to do with it.

Beal probably won’t sign until he has his next move lined up.

The fact that he is giving it up?

[Split T]

Well he has to give it up if he’s bought out…but he values the NTC, so he’s probably just being very picky…he was pretty picky in choosing us the first time

Right, but if they are going to part ways no matter what, what's the issue? He can pick his team after he's waived, no? Not like he's gonna change his mind.

[O_Gardino]

Possibly the amount he gives back depends on what the next team pays him.

I don’t know what’s going through his head…I just think it’s possible the suns are not the hold up here. Beal for whatever reason may just not want to sign the buyout until he knows exactly what his new situation is. Maybe he could change his mind.

[Superbone]

There are a myriad of reasons. Bottom line is it will all be over soon enough and then we can all take a deep breath.

[ShelC]

We can't even give this guy money to just go away. Suns need to tell him to sht or get off the pot and stop holding things up.
