SUNS 2014: Free Agency

[Ring_Wanted]

Shut up, the King is not in the mood to concede hearings.

[Ring_Wanted]

Also: No to Deng and HELL NO to Ariza - neither offer an upgrade and both are fragile.

? Durability or marginal cost are concerns for sure, but I hink it is pretty safe to say that both are upgrades over Tucker.

James is the epitome of douche.

You are not to make eye contact with The King when addressing him. In fact, he will not attend any meetings at all. Any and all communication will be done through his agent as you are not worthy to be in his presence.

Part of me believes he actually has an attitude similar to this. I know MJ was a total prick, but at least to me, he didn't seem like one. LeBron on the other hand.. I'm pretty sure his bidet has a bidet.

THE KING HAS SPOKEN.

[Superbone]

I don't really see any big time moves coming for us with this FA class. Our biggest need is at PF but no FA other than perhaps Monroe addresses it. I could see us just resigning our own FAs and be done with it. Maybe McDonough will surprise us but I think the only surprises might come from trades rather than FA acquisitions.

[Ring_Wanted]

We're literally linked to every free agent (except Greg Monroe).

haha the guy I want the most...ofcourse.

Weird, they have a pretty formidable 4/5 combo already.

[ShelC]

You'd think James would have learned his lesson from last time about how not to be an asshole and treat people with respect. Guess not. I wish someone would call back and say, "LeBron doesn't want to hear our pitch in person? OK, best of luck."

Won't happen tho. Management and owners will grovel because he knows they will. Even Riley's been put on notice and been told to go out and sign guys that will help the team before the big 3 re-sign. If that's not the definition of arrogance I don't know what is.

[SwingMan]

Leave the SOB in his vacuum-sealed bubble - there's plenty who live in the real world that'd dig playing here as opposed to having people jerk-off their ego.

I'm for standing pat & taking care of our own.....

Maybe - how's about an upgrade over what T.J. Warren will be, though?

Regardless - though they're not made of Marcus Camby-glass, both Deng and Ariza are shaky at best on the long-term health front.....

I doubt this is true (and certainly not at $8M per), like I said, prepare for a lot of "Suns are interested" rumors.

The Pistons, Heat, Lakers, Mavs and Suns have all expressed interest, with the Pistons showing the most interest to date and numbers starting in the three-year, $24 million range. Talks with teams in playoff contention have started in the $6-7 million per-year range.

No way in hell do we need a 5' 9" gunner - hell, no way do we need another guard.....

Would love to bring in Chandler BANG! He'd be a perfect fit in are system, but like every player mentioned for us don't want to overpay. I'm hoping Houston gets tied up with the idea of adding Lebron and/or Melo allowing Parsons to slip through

[carey]

Right. Plus Thomas' situation reminds me of Aaron Brooks redux. Love watching the lil' dude play.

[Mori Chu]

Lebron is free to do whatever he likes as far as meeting or not meeting with teams. But if he isn't even willing to meet us in person, I don't think we should bother wasting our time meeting with his agent. It's obvious he isn't looking to switch teams if he isn't even meeting teams himself, so why waste our time and lower ourselves to him like that?

@SpearsNBAYahoo: Knicks free agent Carmelo Anthony's list of teams to visit still includes CHI ,HOU, DAL, LAL, NY with no additions at this time, source says.

Suns not even on the list of teams he'd consider meeting with. Bummer.

Bummer, my ass (no pun intended) - I want nothing to do with the fucking cancer.....

I'd rather overpay Parsons at 10mil than overpay Hayward 13.

Some rockhead tender Hayward an offer of 13 or something?
