Of course Kokoskov likes Teodosic. It only makes sense that he would.

Isn't that called tampering? :shock:

Btw, I think you meant to link to this article: https://www.eurohoops.net/en/nba-news/7 ... enix-suns/
It would only be tampering if he had specifically talked to Milos prior to July 1st—the Suns FO can talk about him all they want.
Not true. He is not allowed to mention his name in any free agency context.
Exactly. When you read the actual quote, he didn't say that they are targeting him or that they want to sign him, or even that the suns are interested. It just says that they talk about him, like all FAs.

Not to mention that Milos opted in on his deal. Apparently they are a little more lax about the tampering rule when Coaches do it versus Front Office personnel. However, this is really blatant and I could see a fine coming his way.
Go Suns!

Milos opted in, but I think there is speculation that the Clippers could wave him.

I don't know, I think you're just fanning the flames. (Sorry, but you come up with a better "wave" joke.)

To be honest, the Clippers are probably going to be a little sad afterwards, because I just dont think Milos is going to wave back.

It would be just like the Suns to get in trouble for tampering with Milos Teodosic.

Damn dude. You are really down on this team. Been a long time since you've been optimistic about the squad. Maybe after McDonough is fired.
Go Suns!

He is down on McDonough. Everything he does is shit in INF's eyes.

That's why I gave him credit for the Dragic trade. That's I said I loved the Okobo pick. Come on 'bone, lazy posts aren't your style.

And I love how we are going to pretend like my opinions about Ryan are completely unwarranted.

It's the offseason alright. Cue the "sky is falling," "glass half-full," "why are you always so negative" obligatory posts.

You're right that it was a little lazy but I think you're overreacting. Of course he hasn't been great or even good. Look at the results so far. You have made it very clear that you hated the move for Bridges. Let's see how it pans out before completely panning it.

Things INF likes: Draft picks and Europeans

Things INF dislikes: Trading of draft picks and not drafting Europeans

Simple really. :lol:







This is obviously a joke. Carry on.
Love, Hurts.

Kokoskov preferred Ayton over Doncic:

That's what Gambo's Suns sources told him, so the team wouldn't get fined for tampering. :lol:

So if he actually wanted Doncic, for example, you'd rather he come out and say it now?

Did you read the article? If he really preferred Doncic to Ayton I wouldn't want him to say that Ayton was the "unanimous" pick.

Here are Kokoskov’s full comments on Teodosic:

“I think all the best about Milos, he is my friend and we had the opportunity to meet here. He is basketball legend. These are the names we take a look at when it comes to free agents, but of course, everything is far from a decision. What I can say is that Milos is absolutely an NBA player. He has done a lot both at the level of the (Serbian) national team and at the EuroLeague level, so his path now is the USA – he had a good season and certainly is one of the names we [Suns] discuss.”
