Same here. I'm pretty much 50/50 at this point, it'd be cool to win again but I'd like to develop the younger core more.

Like signing the SideKick before the Target? (Sorry Chandler, altough we sure dodge a bullet there)

If we're adding people next to Griffin, we'd have to have deals lined up to dump Dudley/Knight/chandler
Not just for the cap space, but for actual roster room. Wich makes me fear about the posible roster casualties...

yes this where I'm at. some of you guys get to listen to Gambo so what is said about TJ ? National media never mentions him , Suns really needed a SF (Jackson) is what most say so do you guys think he would be a "young asset" possibly traded ?

Not much is said about TJ, although the Suns are still high on him and think he was one of the best 2 way players last season after recovering from his head injury.

Celtics are having a difficult time getting a sit-down with Blake.

http://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba-f ... e-meeting/

Does Blake have the same agent as Josh Jackson?

BJ Armstrong? I don't think so. Pretty sure he has the same agent as Barbosa.

Oh I was just kidding. I was picturing McD having to answer to the press about why Blake couldn't schedule a meeting with Boston just like they couldn't with Jackson.

Well now we know why. One rumour dead, hope we are not serious about Millsap

All this. Please, Suns, don't try to build us around the injury prone 2nd option on a first round playoff team.

Now that Blake Griffin is going back to Clippers, expect Phoenix to go hard for Paul Millsap. They're fans.

Eww to Milsap. They were fine with Chriss starting last season why the sudden change? Maybe I can understand if you get Griffin but not Milsap.

I will be pretty happy if we don't add anyone.

The good news , we are supposedly meeting on Sunday but Nuggets and Wolves are before us

Frank Isola‏Verified account @FisolaNYDN 2m2 minutes ago

Source close to free agent Paul Millsap says Denver and Minnesota have emerged as frontrunners. Sacramento and Phoenix still in the mix.

The most frustrating thing about all of this is that the Suns don't seem to have learned any lessons from previous FA signings. Did they not see what signing Chandler to a starting spot in front of Len did to him after he was here for 2 years and starting the most of that second season? Are we going to do that again with Chriss? I guarantee you Millsap isn't coming here to be anyone's backup. What did they think would happen signing IT a clear starter in this league and putting him behind Dragic and Bledsoe would do? I'd rather not go down this dumb rabbit hole a third time if it's o.k. with you lot.

Its been a chronic issue with McD--its all about accumulating talent without worrying as much about basketball fit. Its absolutely been his Achilles heel the last few years.

I think it's just saying in order to offer him the max we'd need to do a sign and trade. I really like Millsap, but he's too old. I'd feel better if it was a 2 year deal, but I doubt it. Hopefully he really likes Denver.

At least Millsaps game will age well, its the little things right?
