Re: Trade: CP3
Gambo talking about us having the MLE and then tweets this:

Re: Trade: CP3
Gambo says Dario is coming back tho. If that’s true can we still sign Gallo to the MLE??
EDIT: never mind I saw the gambo tweet

Re: Trade: CP3
You know me. I've called him CPMe for a decade. Not a huge fan of him *as a person.* He's a hell of a basketball player and when healthy can really improve the Suns. Just the space Booker will get when opposing teams have to move that much more to cover Paul on the perimeter. It will make the team better. I view it as a make it or bust move for this iteration of the Suns. The Booker-Ayton-X version. We now have our X and we'll either get to the playoffs in that 4-6 seed range or this will all end badly. I do wonder what happens when we plateau. What comes 'after' Chris Paul?
Go Suns!
Og Snus!

Re: Trade: CP3
Depends on if we're waiting until after 11/22 to complete the deal. If we wait until then we can use all our cap space. If we do it now all we have is the MLE & we can of course go over the cap to sign our guys like Saric, Diallo, etc.Wally_West wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 11:47 am

That I think is the dream scenario. If Gallo will sign for the MLEWally_West wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 11:47 amGambo says Dario is coming back tho. If that’s true can we still sign Gallo to the MLE??

CP3-Book-Bridges-Gallo-Ayton
Payne-FA-Nesmith-Johnson-Saric
Could still have Carter/Nader too. Use bi-annual exception for another guard.
I also wonder if you could agree to like a deal with Saric under his cap hold, sign him first. Then you could have like 10-12ish million to give someone like Gallo a little over MLE. Have to release guys like Payne and Nader for that I think though. But could use room exception or minimum contracts to bring them back. They are already on minimum contracts, so maybe they agree.

Re: Trade: CP3
I think it's close if we're bringing back everyone & completing the trade like today. I don't think that's what's going to happen.
Go Suns!

Re: Trade: CP3
Trade Ayton for Giannis now.
Sign Gallo and Augustin to vet mins
Paul-Booker-Mikal-Gallo-Giannis
DJ Augustin, Cam, 10th pick, FA Big.
A guy can dream can’t he?

Re: Trade: CP3
I don't think I like the idea of bringing in Gallinari. He's a good shooter, but I don't think I like him as a fit here. He's old and slow and not a great fit for our young team and up-tempo offense. He isn't a great defender. And he's an injury risk on a team that already has a prominent injury risk in Paul. Plus Gallo will likely command a decently large salary, and I'm not sure I'd want to pay it to him.
I think I would rather see our PF minutes go to guys like Cam or Saric or some other free agent PF.

Re: Trade: CP3
I'd do this trade. THeyre not giving up that much. They did well without Oubre in the bubble and CP3 is a much, much better player than Rubio.
CP3 is older than dirt, but at least theyre trying.

The transaction stalled initially because Sarver insisted on getting Jake from State Farm in the deal.
I'll see myself out.

Re: Trade: CP3
I would prefer Wood over Gallo. CP3-Booker-Bridges-Wood-Ayton is a nice starting 5.
And honestly, I'd rather start Cam over Gallo at the 4.
