He is plenty skilled, just not as quick or tall as he needs to be.

Phew, dodged another SDC bullet.

Or maybe he is just duping everyone so that they hold out for something that isn't going to happen while the Heat swoop in on the lower tier FAs that they should be pursuing.

Curry, Plumlee, Harris... Does Stockton have a brother?

I am curious what the starting lineup is going to be. This is going to be must watch TV this summer. I might even have to make a trip to Vegas, Baby!

On paper at least, that's a heck of a summer league team.

It's 'only' three years so in a way it's not that horrible, but if Meeks is getting more than 6M per after putting up what looks like the proverbial empty stats on a team going nowhere and fighting for nothing, only God knows what the real prices in FA will command. And for Detroit it's not just th...

Agent Henry Thomas, on report clients Bosh & Wade will take $12M/per & $11M/per, respectively: "all the BS you are reading is just that." So does this mean that there is more or less of a chance that these guys are possibly bolting the Heat? Is it the Heat that are putting these n...

I am confused. Is it just me or does that seem insane for Meeks?

Gives him more flexibility to not get stuck into a bad situation.

Wow, that would be something.

I can imagine Riley and his face getting red, veins bulging out screaming at them to take less because they shouldn't be pussies to try to win a title in frustration.

I tend to think that Hayward, Parsons, Bledsoe, and Gortat will all get more than their suggested AAV. In fact, if history is any indication, all the top FAs will get more than suggested.

Tucker | SF | RFA 2013-14 Team: Phoenix Suns Salary: $884,293 Suggested AAV: $4.0 million/year, three years, non-guaranteed third year Tucker emerged as a high-level defensive wing, and the addition of a reliable corner 3-point shot makes him more valuable.

17. Trevor Ariza | SF | UFA 2013-14 Team: Washington Wizards 2013-14 Salary: $7.7 million Suggested AAV: $5.7 million/year, four years Ariza kicks off a string of full midlevel exception caliber players: vets who can fill a role immediately, but aren't necessarily cornerstones or building blocks. Ar...

12. Marcin Gortat | C | UFA 2013-14 Team: Washington Wizards 2013-14 Salary: $7.7 million Suggested AAV: $9.0 million/year, four years Gortat did everything he was supposed to do in a contract year: stayed healthy, shot efficiently at the rim, protected the defensive glass. He's a nice finisher with...

10. Gordon Hayward | SF | RFA 2013-14 Team: Utah Jazz 2013-14 Salary: $3.5 million Suggested AAV: $10.0 million/year, four years Hayward bears similarity to Parsons in style of play, but did not benefit from the high-level help that Parsons did. He's the better player, but struggled mightily in his ...

Here are some other Suns related/linked FAs 8.

7. Eric Bledsoe | PG | RFA 2013-14 Team: Phoenix Suns 2013-14 Salary: $2.6 million Suggested AAV: $11.5 million/year, four years Like Monroe, Bledsoe is a restricted free agent who is going to benefit from a lack of free-agent options at his position (his main competition is Kyle Lowry and Isaiah Th...

Also read that Hawes is demanding around 8M per from the Cavs. Maybe that's why they are looking at Frye, who supposedly he can't command that. Elhassan broke down what each free agent should be commanding. Here is Frye's: 14. Channing Frye | PF/C | UFA 2013-14 Team: Phoenix Suns 2013-14 Salary: $6...
