Re: Suns News: Offseason
Waiving Kaminsky, Diallo and Okobo impacts our ability to improve the roster and only means Sarver saves money. Those contracts could have been used to trade for a rotation player fallen into disgrace. Bah.
Re: Suns News: Offseason
They also just take up a roster spot. Perhaps we have free agents in mind already. And we haven’t waived Okobo yet.

Kaminsky and Diallo have zero value.
Okobo has next to zero value, otherwise I think he'd have already been dealt. They've just been keeping him for the contract hold to trade, and if they waive him it'll be to free up space for a rotation player.

Re: Suns News: Offseason
As much of a nice guy that Kaminsky is people know he's just not that good of a basketball player and is not worth 5m per year.
For me waiving him is the right thing, and Diallo as well.
Our weakness is the bench and if they can bring in better basketball players to strenthen it then all good.

Edit: that’s literally all it said
League sources say Evan Fournier is trying to find his way to a team like the Clippers, Suns or Nuggets.
Re: Suns News: Offseason
Forgetting that cake is a trash desert when there are so many other options... If someone has a cake, aren't they expected to eat it?
Re: Suns News: Offseason
Well, so much for Houston and GS. Looks like Brooklyn will have the most dominant backcourt if Harden is able to hook up with Irving. As Shel pointed out, Portland should also be on the list.
Re: Suns News: Offseason
Nobody would want Kaminsky's $5m/yr contract, not even as ballast in a trade. It's right to let him go. I am a known critic of Sarver and his cheap-ass moves, but I don't blame him for cutting Kaminsky off and saving the $5m for other purposes.England Sun wrote: ↑Fri Nov 20, 2020 2:22 amAs much of a nice guy that Kaminsky is people know he's just not that good of a basketball player and is not worth 5m per year.

Re: Suns News: Offseason
Harrison has nothing to do with Payne. Payne is a PG. Harrison is a SG. Harrison would replace Carter, not Payne.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.
Re: Suns News: Offseason
Harrison is more athletic and a better rebounder. But Alexander is the far superior scorer/shooter, or at least has the potential to be.

Carter has earned his stay. I'd offer BE money, even up to half the MLE (we have his rights, don't need to actually use the MLE).

He’ll get like 2 year 6 million or something. That’s fine.

Re: Suns News: Offseason
Sure, but how much more? He's a 6'1" PG with no real PG skills. He can defend some & shoot it quite well from deep.
