What can McDermott offer that Alec Peters cant? Yes, Peters has had 1 good game ever, but he offers the same skill set McDermott does at a fraction of the price.
Re: Around the League: 2018 Offseason
Unless his name is Kawhi, PG or LeBron, I don't think the Suns should be pursuing a middling FA SF. I mean all targets need to be big time difference makers, IMO.

Hey, there we go, there's our stretch 4! Dirk's going to be a free agent and he's not looking for a lot of money!

Re: Around the League: 2018 Offseason
Would you trade Bridges/Warren/Dudley/2019 first/2021 first/MIL first for Kawhi? That could be enough to get it done, but might have to include Jackson.

Sure, if he signs an extension.. But he won't, so I wouldn't bother
Re: Around the League: 2018 Offseason
Apparently, him wanting to only go to the Lakers wasn't exactly true. I heard a report that he's willing to go to some other teams, and it may include Phoenix, but I can't remember where I heard that.

Re: Around the League: 2018 Offseason
VanVleet can shoot; he's a good 3-point shooter. Mack is a mediocre shooter. And let's not talk about what I want. What I want is for the Suns to stay away from this abysmal free agent class. But it isn't about what I want. So under the unfortunate preferences of our questionable management, I'm just trying to find some decent options with some value.

Re: Around the League: 2018 Offseason
Honestly, I'd be perfectly fine with giving Peters a try in the starting lineup with (insert point guard)-Booker-Jackson-Ayton.Superbone wrote: ↑Wed Jun 27, 2018 2:05 pmAnd Peters has got momentum!TheOriginalOriginal wrote: ↑Wed Jun 27, 2018 11:49 amWhat can McDermott offer that Alec Peters cant?

Re: Around the League: 2018 Offseason
I agree; I don't see any FAs who I would want us to sign. I kind of like Aaron Gordon, but I don't think I'd want him at the price he will probably cost. I think if we want a veteran PF, I would rather trade Cleveland for Kevin Love after Lebron leaves them and they switch into full rebuild mode.INFORMER wrote: ↑Wed Jun 27, 2018 9:48 pmVanVleet can shoot; he's a good 3-point shooter.

INF, dunno if you posted this already in another thread, but do you have any players you'd like the Suns to target in trades?
Re: Around the League: 2018 Offseason
ESPN is reporting that Paul George has notified OKC that he will opt out of his contract and will become a UFA. Sounds like he's gone.
OKC really botched their post-Durant rebuild. They got 1 year of George, and now they're stuck with the decaying corpse of Melo at huge money. I heard on the Zach Lowe podcast that their payroll could be north of $200m for next season with a big luxury tax hit. All for a mediocre team that did nothing in the playoffs. That is one of the rosters in the whole league that I'd least like to have.

Re: Around the League: 2018 Offseason
I think George was always opting out.. Don't think this says anything about his decision. Although I do think he's gone.
