I think because his last name closely aligns.

Bingo. Plus, the bad news (that seems to be unfounded based on Woj's last tweet).

Dude. Cavs signed Shumpert for $10M/yr too? Their tax bill will set records next summer.

Agreed. I only know of him from hoopshype news. If DA and Woj say we're in it, then we probably are. Not that that really means anything.

Most overrated player in recent memory.

Only if you actually think having them on your team is a good thing.

Duuuude. What a steal.
Yep. I really wish the Suns had done that, instead of giving Chandler the deal they did.

I'm gonna guess you aren't a fan of LMA if he signs here either?

And no I'm not a fan of those 3 players but the contracts handed out today make those contracts a bargain imo.

I think LMA is an express ship to mediocrity. He's a nice player, but he isn't taking a team anywhere significant. The team the Suns are putting together isn't any better than the one that has been assembled in Portland. If everything pans out the way the Suns want in terms of acquisitions, they will have built a perennial 2nd round exit at best.

Yes. That is what happens when you don't have a James, Harden, Curry, Davis or Paul.

That's a silly statement to make. No one before last season counted Steph Curry as a player that instantly makes your franchise a contender. He is a great player, for sure, but he plays on a great, great team. It's a similarly shaky claim to make about Harden. He disappears every other game in the playoffs, and in the pivotal game 6 against LAC, he was on the bench the entire 4th quarter. Again, great player, but he's not getting you to the promise land by himself. And Chris Paul has never even been to a Conference Final.

Really, it's Durant, Anthony Davis, and LeBron. That's it.

Truly. Use the LA nightlife etc to sell a bball free agent, and then let Kobe talk. Worst way to recruit a FA.
kupchak isnt an idiot. the best thing re the lakers is the LA weather. you dont mention kobe bryant's name.
