2023 Suns General Offseason/PostSeason News Thread

[TOO]

So long as he's not posting hatred or sheer stupidity, who cares?

I'd imagine it gets old having thousands and thousands of people daily shitting on you from behind a computer screen.

[Mori Chu]

KD's social media is super cringe. And the making burner accounts to defend himself and trash his former teammates is especially lame.

[Flagrant Fowl]

I would bet at least 50% of the league does the same thing or has a proxy do it for them.

[specialsauce]

He comes across like such a clown. And it's silly how much attention he gives to these insignificant tweets.

I think he enjoys trolling people, it’s fun banter. It’s like me posting here. Thank God you guys have so many bad opinions, otherwise I’d lose interest fast

[Superbone]

Yeah, clearly you were right, KD.

You tell him, INF!

[Superbone]

[AmareIsGod]

Oh no. Informer, Mori and a few others are going to lose their shit.

Was doing some fun contact stuff and realized we might not be far away from the first 100 million in 1 season player.

If the cap keeps jumping 10% each year for the next few, Booker will be able to sign a 5 year super max deal starting after his current contract ends(first year of new deal would be 28-29) with a first year salary of 76.67 million. With 8 percent raises he’d get 82.8, 89.4, 96.6, and finally 104.3 million in year 5(33-34 season). He’d be 37 that season. The full deal would be 5 years 450 million.

All this is to say we are probably within 10 years of a player making a 100 million salary and Booker could be the first. It’s probably going to be someone in his generation. Book, Tatum, etc.

[Mori Chu]

Eh. I am not very impressed with his social media behavior but I don't waste much energy thinking about it. He can spend his time how he wants. He does sometimes crack me up with how willing he is to trash talk random people he finds talking about him online.

He probably gets off on knowing how much it raises people's blood pressure by taking it so seriously or caring so much about how he takes it seriously.

[Superbone]

At least he's self-aware, INF.

True, but it does show a pack of mental toughness if he is so easily rattled by random stuff posted on social media. For a guy that seems so disciplined when it comes to honing his craft, its a bit paradoxical.

Is it really a salary dump if they're just going to add someone else to the vacant roster spot?

[Shabazz]

We don’t have a vacant roster spot. We were at 16 players. Cutting him would have cost that much money.

[pickle]

We didn’t have a 2030 pick swap before? I guess there’s some value to it if that’s the first time we gave it up. Otoh if Ishbia continues to make these bigger moves guess we will never just totally suck either.

Toumani isn’t on a two way?

Signed a full deal.
