I’m glad that Frank the Tank had his best game in the bubble
What's even crazier is that the Suns have a clear path to potentially moving into 8th after these 8 games. That would be huge as we would only have to win one game to secure the 8th spot for the playoffs.Not even @cheesebeef could write a script where 4 teams are within a 1/2 game with a day left for 2 spots.
The thing most noticeable about Cam Johnson is that he plays like he belongs. He carries himself with a calm sense of self-confidence and his mind is in the game.
Jevon Carter is like that too. I love Jevon. Even if he is not the first pg off the bench, his full-court D is so disruptive. It is a great weapon off the bench, especially when you want to change the flow of the game. No one plays full-court dogged defense like he does, no one in the NBA. There might be players who are more effective, but there is no one that is a dog like him.
That was a cute way of doing the starting line-up s for the Suns.
What happened to Dario starting back in March? He had 24 points twice in the 3 games before the bubble and now this... It’s not like Nov-Feb weren’t contract months either.

what do you think is a realistic number to try and get Dario back? he's a great big off the bench and gives the second unit a guy who can actually create his own shot and stretch the floor. 8 mill per... 10?

I think there are going to be a lot of 1 year deals because of covid.

Look at his last season in Minnesota and he did the same thing, didn't get going until February or after the All-Star break. It might take him time to get comfortable in his new surroundings with his new teammates. Since he's done it before, I'm not concerned with it being a contract year thing. He was fairly consistent in his first 2 years in Philly so it's not something that is ingrained in him permanently.
We can match any offer for him, provided we tender the qualifying offer ($5.14 million), and I think letting him walk for anything less than $10 million annually would be a mistake. I'd like to see him retained for 4 years/$30 million but think I'm lowballing it. That's trying to project financial hit from the pandemic into account though. I think that's fair for a spot starter/first big off the bench with his skill set. It also isn't too high where he couldn't be dealt later, if needed.
