A ton of this depends on the direction they go with DA.

If they trade him it just entirely depends on what they get in return. If we snag Brogdon and Williams for DA, then our needs are entirely different than if we keep him.

Green would fill acouple of holes, but he brings a lot of baggage and he's going to want a lot more than the minimum.

I also dont see Westbrok, Schroeder, Richardson or Brooks signing for the minimum. But I guess you never know until the market plays itself out.

I just don't want to see the Suns do what they've done with free agents the last couple years - they need to be more proactive.

Draymond's skillset would fit what the Suns have in terms of needing an agitator and running a lineup without a true point guard. He's just such a clown, I don't think KD would want to play with him again (yes, I know they did a podcast together), and he is aging fast.

I don’t want Draymond anywhere near this team. And I believe Ishbia would have to overrule Jones on it.

You guys talk about minimum Green as a possibility. Ain't happening.

Don't the Suns have the tax payer exception this offseason? (I know they won't have it next offseason).

No, have to stay under the 2nd apron for that. From what I’ve read they will enforce that this off season.

We will have our trade exception from the Saric trade.

I will happily bet that Green will be a Sun or a Warrior next season and you can take the field :)

Okay...That's what I thought. Afraid to put your money where your mouth is. :P
