Around the League: The Off-season

[INFORMER]

This is the deal I would have expected for rubio

Beverly was praised for his play in the playoffs, while Rubio really hurt his team in the first round. Rubio gets $11 million more. Go figure.

Rubio isn't walking around on a knee that had both a microfracture and meniscus tear. I don't think Beverley makes it to the end of that deal.

Awesome move for Memphis. I wish the Suns had used their cap space like that.

I’m sorry, but you can’t be serious. You wish the suns, after 9 years out of the playoffs, had used all of their cap space on Iggy (who would either demand a buyout or be our 4th small forward) so we could pick up a 2024 first rounder???

Not that it makes a difference to you, but I read that tweet wrong. I thought Memphis was getting three first rounders.

Why wouldn’t it make a difference to me? Pretty reasonable explanation.

So, DLo ends up getting a max $117M four-year contract from the Warriors on a sign and trade. No wonder we had no shot at him.

Super money before super friends.

Unless you’re in the Justice League.

12.3 per. Gambo said we could get him for 7-9 per.

I would much rather have Rubio for 4.7 million more per year lol.

Holy shit. That Rubio deal's starting to look like a downright bargain relative to the other deals. Of course, most of the more expensive deals will look like white elephants soon enough. But Rubio's deal's only 3 years.

Super money before super friends.

Seems to me like he was trying to use us as leverage, but Suns didn’t bite.

lol, beverley is not a PG. he is an undersized 2 guard who defends PGs.

I think they used Wolfs for that bcs they knew Suns wont give him that money...

I'm not sure I like DLo's fit on the Ws.

And FWIW, I'd rather have Rubio for 17mil than Joseph or Beverly on their deals.

[ShelC]

Inf will make a big deal about this one and while I love Ish, Rubio's better for us even on his deal.

[ShelC]

[Hermen]

Don't the Bulls have a lot of guards now?

I don’t think it was a matter of fit for the Warriors. I think it was the only way for them to keep Durant’s cap space.
