The suns had no intention of keeping ariza after his deal expired. The sun's traded him for a guy the wizards don't want to pay.

Kinda what I'm afraid of. If the Clips don't throw an offer at Oubre (if they strike out on Kawhi) , we have some leverage but it could get ugly if we lowball like "hey, there's no more money out there. Take our offer or play out the year".

The optics are poor and that's definitely not a good thing for the Suns image as a franchise, but I'd be fine with Oubre playing out his contract on the QO.

I had very low expectations for him after the trade, so he was one of the few bright spots during a miserable season. But it was still just that, a miserable season. He outperformed essentially zero expectations on one of the worst teams I've ever seen. He may have turned a corner and is becoming a reliable role playing starter, but that's his ceiling. Only a fool would commit a long term contract for big money on a player like him.

If it were up to me, I'd let him walk for any offer over $13M/year.

Eh. I'm paying him up to 18M per. As far as it being a miserable season, it only had a couple bright spots. Opening night and that stretch where we beat the Bucks, Lakers, and Warriors. Plus, maybe the first road win over the Bucks.

What is it you don't like about him? Nothing at all indicates he's a cancer or ever would be.

I’d offer $16 and perhaps large bonuses for playoff games won.

Gambo also said that he expects all of the following players to be gone:

Warren, Jackson, Holmes, Bender, Melton, Okobo

I guess that means only 4 or 5 players will be left from last season? Booker, Ayton, Oubre, Bridges, and maybe Johnson. Perhaps Jamal Crawford also?

So every 2 to 3 years a new GM comes in and purges all the moves the prior GM made and we laud him and say how refreshing it is and how we’re back on track. Well we got rid of the knuckleheads though right?

I love this team but this offseason has not been any different than when McDo came in and did the same s***. Jones (or Bower) haven't done anything extraordinary. Oubre was our top priority and he remains unsigned. They settled on Rubio after they whiffed in Rozier (thank God)

We’re hemorrhaging picks left and right. There’s 40 million of buyout salary out there just in the last year!!!

He’s still got an incomplete grade because the offseason isn’t over yet. As of now we’re still trash but I guess it’s an upgrade from hot garbage though right?

All I’ve seen from Jones is that he knows how to clean house. But I’ve yet to see if he knows how to restock the cupboards.

I'm afraid you're just going to have to wait out the season to see the results.

Maybe Strange will let him borrow the Eye of Agamotto.

Eh, probably not. Strange is pretty protective of that thing.
