Getting worse.

Guess the teams finally realized how fishy it looks to start announcing signings right away.

When has that ever stopped them? I'm surprised the Suns haven't announced a signing.

Lots of prep work going into how to introduce Bridges.

feels like there's still another big move coming - bigger than the free agent guards gambo is alluding to - ish has first round picks lol - you know they're burning a hole on his pocket

You know what I want them to do.

Gotta reemphasize it again. Brian Gregory got all our in house guys resigned before free agency. Makes a trade for a PF before free agency starts. Realizes we need a shooter, and fills that roster spot in the first day of free agency. You can argue they may have wasted an unconditional first round pick, maybe not optimized assets, but the SPEED in which everything got done was spectacular.

They got what they wanted first and did not wait around for scraps to fall to them.

I have a hunch that a lot of NBA players would like to play for Ott.

 

[leclerc]

I wanted Mike Conley. He's old but he would help Booker and teach our young guys. The Celtics picked him up.

I am looking at the Laker's situation. LeBron not staying in LA to play with Luka. Kennard choose us over LA. Previouly Kennard said he wanted to play for a playoff contender. Ouch. Just from the outside it looks like no one wants to play with Luka.

Talk about a guy who takes up all the oxygen in the room. Especially in competition with a guy (Bron) who is no slouch in the oxygen-huffing department himself.

You REALLY have to wonder what was going down in Dallas when they let a generational talent like that go off their squad for a guy who can't stay on the court. Some day that whole story is going to come out. It's probably going to be fascinating.

That is in entirely apparent. It seems like no one much likes him as a teammate. Watching his entitled attitude on the court during the game, it's not hard to imagine why. I would wager he's just as bad in other contexts.

I am almost positive now Jalen Green is getting traded.

We didn't just sign Kennard and Spencer with no minutes available for them.

I have no idea who it would be for, maybe Sengun? Trey Murphy? I don't know, but I feel a deal is coming.

I don't know. I look at Spencer's stats and he certainly look like a two-way guy. His 3 point shooting is ok. 36%.

Well, he is older and not a lot of teams want to use a 2 way spot on a 29 year old. I'm not saying he's a great player, but he is a like a 10th man on most teams.

Spencer is a Two-Way player and Kennard can easily play SF off the bench. He isn't a starter or a Sixth man. I think you're reading way too much into things,

It's not just this, this is just the final straw.

We already know Bridges, Brooks, and Green all want to get their fair share of shots up, there really isn't room for all of them in the same lineup for things to work well. Then you have the fact Jalen's got a player option next year, so if we don't want to resign him the only safe thing to do is trade him before then. Also, the starting lineup is missing a good 3pt shooter.

Gillespie could easily be made a starter and fix all those things.

Agree. Green isn't going anywhere, definitely not replaced by the Kennard and Spencers.

The only thing is Green is all we really have left to trade. Those first round picks we have are just sweetener. Plus we have no roster spots open. We have to trade.

Green isn't a trade asset. If we could trade him for a positive return he'd already be gone.

I'd love to move off Green, but I don't think these signings have much of an impact on his status... a two way player and 9th man shooting specialist... these are dudes any team could use.

I will have to admit with guys like Simons signing for 6 million a year who is probably 80% of Jalen it is giving me pause on how much trade value he does have.

That contract really shows how much the market has changed.

Anywhere did I say he was a GOOD asset? LOL. Basically, if we don't want to trade our young guys, and even if we move our highly split first rounders, we have to move someone because we have no roster spots left. Green is the most likely shoe to drop. Maybe not this season. If the Suns show ANY patience at all, Green becomes and expiring contract next season and would be way more desirable at the trade deadline.

I think the fact that green averaged the minutes played when he was healthy is a direct contradiction of your perspective that the suns view him as a negative and just can’t rid themselves of him.
