Signings, Trades, Rumors including Suns and NBA

I think this was a horrible trade. Smith seemed to be getting better and they sent a 2nd round as well. Not a fan of it.

It fits the Suns window for a championship run.

Craig was a free agent. I don't believe the Suns were offering it or he would have stayed here.

After all the Suns had Nader (sarcasm).

That’s my point. The Suns didnt offer it and they should have. As well as picking up Stix’s option. They could have had both.

Montrezl Harrell going to Charlotte.

Won't the Pacers be similarly handcuffed by Smith's option issue? Perhaps they'll have cap space?

 

[Muggz]

no reason we couldn’t have matched that or at least given him something almost exactly like it starting a 2 year deal at the remaining 4.5 left in the MLE.

But then how would we pay ShameT?

Oof

Yeah, we know the Suns should have picked up the option on Stix. I believe the Shamet trade effected it.

Looks like budget decisions to me.

Aaron Holliday to Suns

The worst part is they’re paying a 9-10th man $5m next year which limits their ability to add another piece. Shamet’s deal escalates next season.

It's too bad we didn't get Stix when we Sucked for like the Bender time period.

That is an excellent pick up. Tough defender and gritty hard nosed.

Yes. There is the insurance point guard.

I like Craig but he’s not what we need especially with Bridges taking the next step on offense

 

[mjb21aztd]

[Muggz]

Brother of Jrue. His numbers look pretty good. Much better than Payton, who may be apart of the trade. Looks like a solid acquisition.

He was gone after the season.

Question really is which player helps us more in the playoffs, and I think the answer is absolutely Craig. He saved our butts last year in the Clippers series, and could do it again for us against the Warriors.

I don't mind this deal.

I do hope we get a buyout guard to replace Payton though.

Craig can play both forward positions and small ball center. It's not a flashy move but a very solid one IMO.

Plus the Suns know he fits.

Ok, there is the Payton upgrade.

What did we trade for him?

I disagree, we need every wing defender we can get our hands on for GS.

Torrey Craig won’t make an impact in the playoffs unless a forward goes down. I like the Holliday pickup.

This right here. The starters have to sit sometimes against the great teams in the playoffs. There will be little drop off when a guy Craig comes in to sub.

Huh?

He did last year, and we have the same forwards.

No updates on that yet. Rumor is Payton and possible draft pick
