Richards for a vet min or less than vet min salary and 2nds would be great. I’m not worried about what we do when one of our top 2 centers is out

Maluach will be able to space to the corner pretty early in his career, and there's some smallball Center potential with Fleming.

Richards is going to be pretty valuable at $5M, so they should really squeeze teams who want to make a deal for him.

The way our FO does things, we will trade Richards and we'll have to include a future 2nd just to get off his salary.

What happened to that positivity you were going to bring? That didn't last long. No need to assume the worst.

You do know we could have just let his contract expire? It wasn’t guaranteed.

My guess is that CP3 lands in LAC, but we need CP3 more than the Clippers do. We are aching for a real PG, and for tough veteran leadership to teach our young guys.

I'm just being sarcastic. There's no way we would bundle picks with Richards to get off his deal.

That's the coaches job. CP3 isn't a fit for what Ott wants to do. Movement and pace aren't exactly what you're gonna get out of a 40yo PG.

That screams THT to me.

I'd rather have a go at Josh Minot than THT.

I'd rather have an empty roster spot over either.

Someone tell TOO that Bob Sarver hacked his account.

Taurean Prince could be a target for that player type/role as well. I think he'd probably command more than the Suns can offer at this point because he played pretty well last season in Milwaukee.

THT is Klutch

THT would aggravate me so much. He's wing Westbrook without the fun highlights.

Here we go! I completely forgot about him and he was awesome in the Euroleague this past season.

Definitely remember the name from a few years back. 6-8 245lbs with a 7-3 wingspan. We definitely have a type.

NHD seems to be more of a Royce O'Neale replacement than anything else. He's a bit light in the shorts to play real PF minutes in the NBA.
