The 2021 Suns Offseason
Re: The 2021 Suns Offseason
Good number there for him, another young part of the core locked in.
Re: The 2021 Suns Offseason
Utterly disgusting. Why not give the $43 million to Ayton and sign a vet min. player instead? Spend the same amount of money and avoid disaster!

Wow, it's almost like James Jones knows how to sign guys to good contracts.

Re: The 2021 Suns Offseason
It is telling that there isn't a single contract announced this summer that I would say we overpaid on.
Re: The 2021 Suns Offseason
$207M - $172M = $35M
If we were willing to give Ayton the $172M, then we could have afforded even a supermax for Ayton if we hadn't extended Shamet for $43M.

Re: The 2021 Suns Offseason
We must feel pretty good about Shamet. It’s not a crazy amount, but it’s maybe a bit more than I would have spent.
Re: The 2021 Suns Offseason
We clearly just don’t trust Ayton as a max player yet. He can get that deal if he plays up to it this season.
Though I will say, committing this money to Shamet does make me think we might choose to move on from Ayton if we can find a reasonable replacement.
Re: The 2021 Suns Offseason
I think you're right. I bet they only gave Shamet the money once they couldn't make a deal with Ayton, because they are now planning on letting him go.

there is no way in hell they are letting him go. They may trade him, but they are not letting him go for nothing.JeremyG wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 2:37 pmI think you're right.

Re: The 2021 Suns Offseason
Ya by no means did I mean just let him walk, but S&T him next summer for a cheaper piece that fits what we want to do. Truth be told, Ayton has never been a great offensive fit in Monty’s system.
Re: The 2021 Suns Offseason
So how long until someone does a gif or meme of that block Giannis had on Ayton but with a bag of 207M instead of the ball?
Re: The 2021 Suns Offseason
Also can I just say how crazy good does that Cam Payne deal look now? Shamet got twice as much as Payne.

Re: The 2021 Suns Offseason
I don't know if he's twice as better, but Shamet is better than Payne.

Re: The 2021 Suns Offseason
Shamet might make Payne expendable by the end of the season. Hope not, but it could happen.

Well I hope so. I’ll have to wait and see on that.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 3:07 pmI don't know if he's twice as better, but Shamet is better than Payne.
