2021 NBA Free Agency and Trades

[Folster]

Damn. Sucks to lose TC.

 

[Covert Rain]

Unless Payne is their back-up plan to start at the 1...

Dude....it's a great contract no matter what. You are not going to find a "back-up" plan at the price the Suns can afford. Seriously with this?!?!?

 

[Chaplin]

That's nuts.

 

[jlove]

And the Suns can split the MLE if needed.

IMO Suns need legit 5, a BIG 4/5, another 3/4 and another 1/2.....Craig and/or Nader could be brought back as that 3/4

 

[82CardsGrad]

That just makes no sense to me, and I like McConnell.

Makes total sense... when you stop & realize they don't have JAMES F'n JONES as their GM baby!!!!

 

[Chaplin]

Hate losing Torrey. There's gotta be something cooking.

As I mentioned before, I LOVE the Payne contract. My point was just that it doesn't necessarily mean CP3 is returning.

 

[Covert Rain]

Now that we can use the full exceptions. Go get em James.

Where did Craig go and for what?

 

[1Sun]

Damn. Sucks to lose TC.

And for only $5 million a year. That's a headscratcher.

 

[1Sun]

Where did Craig go and for what?

Pacers. 2 years, $10 million.

 

[Mainstreet]

Chris Paul signs with Suns, 4 years 120 million.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Chris Paul signs with Suns, 4 years 120 million.

Oh boy

 

[Chaplin]

Where did Craig go and for what?

Indiana 2/10

I disagree. There is no way you sign Payne not knowing the dollars Paul is going to cost you. There is the chance that the deal turned out way below the teams expectations but I doubt that. The Suns know what Paul is going to cost them.

Update: There it is. I told you.

 

[1Sun]

Oh boy

Had to be done. The Suns had no other viable options. They are going for it, and I love it.

Yeeeeeeikes! That fourth year is... ouch.

okay... gotta load up for the next two years to win a chip to make that last year easier to swallow.

 

[Cheesebeef]

thank god.

We gotta scramble to find out what the "over 38" rule is, because it definitely applies on that last year.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Oh boy

Exactly what was expected... as Bobby Marks said this morning regarding signing a 37 year-old to a multi-year deal, "it is what it is...".

 

[Chaplin]

thank god.

My thoughts exactly. He gets more than the MLE.

 

[1Sun]

Relieved there.

 

[Covert Rain]

That fourth year is likely what put the Suns over the top. This contract is going to haunt us in 3 and 4 but it had to be done. I knew the Paul deal was a done deal. It's only made sense after announcing Payne first.

 

[Folster]

Relieved there.

All that teeth gnashing for not.
