It's rich and full-bodied, like an ultimate woman ...

Haha. I prefer their Amber or Purple Haze.

Turbodog is tasty, but after two, I feel like I have eaten a plate of prime rib. Filling.

Purple Haze is good. Actually, I have a couple in the recroom fridge, chilling ...

John Treloar ended a five-year run as Suns director of player personnel after the June draft with a commitment to become Louisiana State’s associate head coach. He late backed out of that for a NBA job, which was revealed last week when he was announced as Atlanta’s director of player personnel.

I think ours is Bogdan Bogdanovic. Bojan is the one in Brooklyn, right?

That is very interesting.

I thought I posted about that a while back. Maybe not. I follow LSU pretty closely (don't ask me how they landed Ben Simmons other than the coach connection thing...) and was kind of relieved that Treloar backed out. If you hadn't guessed I wasn't a fan of his drafts, which included picking Markieff over Kawhi Leonard & selecting Kendall Marshall.

Honestly I have been reading every link posted in a while and this just caught my eye today.

I didn't mean it like that. i meant I don't know if I'm repeating myself about Treloar because sometimes I forget if I talk about stuff here, on RealGM or on Twitter.

It was a trick question! Nice try, djy2j! He's never coming as we don't have his rights. Bogdan on the other hand is looking like next year.

With the signing of Chandler and the re-signing of Brandon Knight as the main catalysts, the Suns are now 16th in the NBA in total salaries committed for the 2015-16 season (thanks to spotrac.com). 27 of 30 NBA teams are above or within $1 million of the $70 million cap, because the CBA requires teams to spend at least 90% of the cap every year so they just plan on it anyway.

The Suns haven't been above the salary cap since 2011 (15th). They dropped down to the bottom of the barrel after Steve Nash exited: ranking dead last (30th) in 2012-13, 28th in 2013-14 and 24th in 2014-15, all according to spotrac.com. Those numbers do not include the annual $7.5 million to Josh Childress, who was amnestied in the summer of 2012 so his salary would not count on the official player payroll. Nor do they include the $5+ million to waived Michael Beasley from 2013-15.

Chandler's contract is the most the Suns have given to someone who'd never before worn the Suns colors since Tom Gugliotta got $60 million in the wake of the Antonio McDyess defection in 1999.

Penny got a seven year, about 90M contract.
