    Suns In Talks To Get Rudy Gay

    No they couldn't because there is no guarantee they will not owe the Bulls the pick next year or that they will receive the Min pick this or next year, thus leaving them without a 1st round pick in consecutive years. The only way the deal could work is if the included one or more of the...

    Suns In Talks To Get Rudy Gay

    Moot point since I'm pretty sure the Bulls own the Bobcats protected pick. Unless you're suggesting this as a deal that would be done on draft night.

    Goran Dragic: Good or Bad Deal?

    Some of them may not be legit contenders but all the legit contenders are listed. 1 of the 2 listed has a trio that isn't going to be replicated by any team under the current CBA, the other is the oldest team in league history. Is it your contention that the Suns should be signing aging vets...

    Goran Dragic: Good or Bad Deal?

    Drtg such a useless stat, especially for a guard. How do you expect Dragic, or any PG to have an impact playing with such a porous interior? Tucker must be an even worse defender than Dragic with his 110 drtg right? The Suns main problem in defending opposing PGs is off the P&R as it has been...

    Suns In Talks To Get Rudy Gay

    Sad thing is Blanks is billed as a Moneyball type and in his interviews around draft time the front office bragged about their analytics process. Not surprisingly the team Blanks honed his craft(Cavs) seems to be using the same flawed process with their recent over-drafting of Thompson and...

    Draft Pick Watch

    They updated the pick information then because that was the site I used to verify that the protection dropped off back in October. But yes, it does appear that they didn't trade a 1st round pick outright to Orlando.

    Draft Pick Watch

    No this is incorrect. The stipulation of them having the right to convey a different 1st round pick were they to acquire one is just a hypothetical I provided and has never actually happened in any trade. They would have needed to include such a provision prior to the deal being completed and...

    Draft Pick Watch

    The league wouldn't allow that. The only possible protection they could have done is add verbiage that if the Lakers were to acquire an additional 2013 or 2014 first round pick prior to the 2013 draft they would have the right to convey that pick instead. There would be no reason for the Suns to...

    Draft Pick Watch

    You are correct. The Cavs received the rights to swap the lesser of their picks in 2013 as part of the Sessions trade but the Lakers pick is lottery protected in that swap. The Nash trade with the Suns has no protection due to the Stepien rule you alluded to. The 2015 pick was initially top 5...

    Ideally the Wolves will make the playoffs as a lower seed in 2014. A mid first next year is much better than a late first this year imo.

    Suns In Talks To Get Rudy Gay

    No. You can only renegotiate a NBA contract after 3 years of the current deal and it can only increase the value. To my knowledge this has never actually happened as usually teams will just have the player sign an extension.

    Suns In Talks To Get Rudy Gay

    There is no guarantee that Frye will not be back and you are not accounting for the rookie contracts or roster minimum cap holds. If there is no medical waiver given for Frye the most the Suns could offer is the MLE. If Frye is given a waiver they will likely be able to give a contract...

    Yeah, a pick in the back half of the lottery.. Btw the Suns won't be able to afford Mayo, or any significant FA if they add Gay.

    Suns In Talks To Get Rudy Gay

    Dudley and a 1st round pick are certainly assets, as is cap space. Houston opened things up and then left them open until they acquired a star, they didn't waste resources on over paid under-performing players. They flipped their role-players for draft positioning so they could make a...

    Draft Pick Watch

    I think the wording of the Min pick is misleading. I originally thought this scenario to be the case, but now believe that the Wolves need to make the playoffs in order for the Suns to get the pick. The following shows a breakdown of the conditions of the pick and why there is confusion...

    Rumor: Phx is considering offering Gordon max deal (4 years, $58 million)

    His shooting is abysmal since coming back. Their success since his return is that literally any SG is a major improvement over Rivers. As bleak as things look with Marshall I'm still glad the Suns didn't end up with Rivers.

    Suns In Talks To Get Rudy Gay

    They could easily sign a FA as good as Gay without having to include any assets and if they were smart they could hold out and trade for a player better than Gay. The Rockets were able to acquire Harden because they were patient with their rebuild, they never would have sacrificed assets and...

    Suns In Talks To Get Rudy Gay

    Anyone who wants Gay should realize the Suns could very easily sign Ellis to a better contract in the off-season without giving up any assets. I'm not promoting this idea since I think both would be terrible additions, but Ellis would be the lesser of 2 evils(Igoudala could also be an option).

    Suns In Talks To Get Rudy Gay

    I'm not, but I certainly wouldn't put it past Babby/Blanks to pull the trigger on such a short sighted move. Especially with their contracts expiring and the terrible talent acquisitions they have made in their short time in charge.

    Suns In Talks To Get Rudy Gay

    Terrible idea, reeks of signing Gordon to the max only worse. Suns need to be looking to move Gortat and Dudley for young prospects on rookie deals of 1st round picks, not overpriced under-performing pseudo stars. This move would kill my interest in the team until the draft order is determined.
