Weren't we known to have shown interest in him in the past?

Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
Yea we've kicked the tires on him before which is why I mentioned him.
Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
The real question is: Would Monty want him as a son-in-law?
Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
We tried to acquire him in 2020. Fell through.
I would LOVE to acquire Kennard. Dude is one of the best 3-point shooters in the NBA. He'd be a great fit on a team that has guys who suck in defenses on the P&R or can nail mid range shots. His defense is sub-par, but given how BAD the Suns second unit was last year on offense, I think we need some floor spacing. (44.9% from 3-point range is insane).
Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
I think we have our version of Kennard in Landry. Kennard is a better shooter. Shamet is a better defender. Neither is great at breaking down defenses and attacking the basket.
Kennard was getting targeted badly towards the end of last season and his salary is pretty high. I don't think he makes a ton of sense with our roster makeup. Definitely a JJ type.

Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
I was surprised to see that 1/3 of all of his 2pt shots are unassisted. Not surprised to see that 91% of his 3s are assisted.Shabazz wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 12:11 pmI think we have our version of Kennard in Landry. Kennard is a better shooter.

That’s the most flex shit to say… just commenting on a comment he made that he got from another comment.
Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
Who is actually left that can give him a full max and wants to?
Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
What if he doesn't get a max offer and just gets something like 120/4? Think Jones would be happy to pay him that?
Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
And I guess that talk for CamJ and the #7 pick was real. Sounds like it didn't work out, but those talks were going on.
Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
30m/per is basically Ayton's actual value to the Suns. Dunno if if DA turns up his nose at that.

Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
Would be pretty damn hilarious if the end result is Ayton re-signing for a less than max contract. I'd love to keep him around on that kind of deal as long as he doesn't pout about it.

Spurs looking like a potential match with DA.

You would love to keep him for $30,000,000 per year? Where did this come from? But for $32,775,000 you want to discard him like yesterday's garbage?Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 8:35 pmWould be pretty damn hilarious if the end result is Ayton re-signing for a less than max contract.

Not wanting him on a max contract isn't treating him like garbage. Stop with the hyperbole already.JeremyG wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 9:45 pmYou would love to keep him for $30,000,000 per year?

An average of $30M/year is a good deal, IMO. It's a much bigger difference in annual salary when compared to the 5-year max.
