Something tells me we know we are getting couple of the high profiles vet role players on minimum deals come free agency.
Like Dillon Brooks…
We kind are the perfect situation for him. He’d be starting on contending team, Hed fill an immediate weakness. If he plays well and we gets to a finals or win the championship, Someone will definitely pay him a bag next summer.
Yes, there have been reports that some of them want to come here for less money.
James Jones did try to trade/think he was trading for Dillon Brooks once before.
"I'm a Deandre Ayton guy."--Al McCoy, September 21, 2022.
I think Brooks is too far up his own ass to consider a minimum deal, he really thought he was the man in Memphis.
Yeah, nothing about Brooks seems like he'd have the self-awareness to realize that he's just a role player. He seems to be a dumbass with delusions of superstardom, and we've got enough of those players already.
Are we sure college is a higher level than the g-league? I’d think the other way around. Sure the top few college teams might be better, but I think the overall talent pool in the g league is better.
Do they not practice daily in the g-league? You seem to have a very different understanding of what the g league is. I don’t pay much attention to it, so I don’t really know and maybe my perception is wrong, I just didn’t see it as so low level.
I think college helps instill fundamentals better than the G-League does.
How about this…we call up Washington and see if they are interested in Darius Bazley. We can sign and trade him(say 3 years 21 million) and attach Payne/Ish to him and take back Monte Morris and Delon Wright.
I’d front load the Bazley deal and give him 8 million in year 1, plus Payne’s 6.5 and Ish at 1.9. That puts you at 16.4 million and we could take back 110% + 100,000 which would be 18.1 million. Wright and Morris make 18 million combined. Washington would need to want to take a chance on Bazley though.
Probably makes more sense to just go after 1 or the other. Could do it by just packaging Bazley with Ish.
Unfortunately, James Jones is more satisfied with the team than you are. I don't think he is very motivated to change what we currently have.
Is it that when Trae Young takes one step towards the hoop he goes from great to terrible???
OK, you mean the Durant thing.

Team B (featuring Booker, Barkley, and Bridges) is a clear favorite. But I thought Team D (Dragic, Walter Davis, Durant, Jared Dudley, Boris Diaw, Richard Dumas) was also enticing. And I had a laugh at Team J (featuring Kevin, Dennis, Joe, Cam, Eddie, and honorable mention Frank) Johnson.

Hard to believe that Suns legend James Jones didn't make the J team.
