Bets or what you would like to see...

Durant, Booker, Beal, Ayton, TJ

Schroeder
Bryant
Watanabe
Landale
Goodwin
Camara
Biyombo

Under contract:
Booker, KD, Beal, Ayton, Goodwin, Payne, Todd, Camara

Re-sign: Craig and Landale

5 openings:

I’ll guess 2 of Bazley, Biz, Ish, and Okogie return.

That leaves 3 vet min openings:

I’d love Watanabe, J Green(Jeff or JaMychal), and Thybulle.

If we get Watanabe and Bryant I'll be trilled

Suns need 3% shooters.

Watanabe makes sense. Resign Lee (dont know why Monty totally dropped him from rotation). Georges Niang would also help. These guys on Vets minimums make a lot of sense. Not gonna be enough to fill out bench though.

Jalen McDaniels, Brook Lopez, Harrison Barnes and Jacob Poetl make most sense for how our roster is constructed just dont know if you have the capability to add any of those guys with zero maneuverability.

Thomas Bryant would be a good fit too.

I don't know. 3% is pretty low. I'd prefer they shot closer to 40%. (Sorry, rookie! )

Sorry I was looking up Shamets % when I typed that

I like it split

Why no interest in Okogie?

I’d take him back…we just can’t pay him more than the min. But if you want to make Camara a 2-way and also bring back Okogie or Lee I’d do it. I think Goodwin kinda makes Okogie redundant. I’d rather use the roster spot to add more size, shooting, or ball handling.

When you say can’t, is that because of CBA reasons? Thought we were gonna overpay our own guys so we can use them as trade chips (tho I’m not sure we have any other assets besides cash considerations to combine with slightly overpaid role players to make this a reality) so that suggests we should be bringing these guys back, no?

Ya we don’t have bird rights or even early bird rights on Josh. Only thing we can offer him is 120% of his last salary, which is like 2.3 million. Vet min will be like 2.1 I think.

Reality starting to set in for me on roster spots 5-15 and it’s kind of depressing.

We’ll be fine. At least 1-2 names you wouldn’t expect will take the vet min. to come here. Book it.

Someone not on my lists above? Who would fall under this unexpected list? I hope you’re right, I’m curious what level of player you’re thinking of.

I'm still holding out hope that 1-2 surprise guys choose to sign for us for cheap. But that may take a few weeks as guys don't get the bigger offers they want in free agency.

Jabari Parker isn’t on your list…
