Breaking News: Suns reach verbal agreement with Nash

[Weenus O'Baggins]

I imagine about 6 million. We should be able to get a center with that.

 

[Freddie]

The most logical salary schedule is this.

1st yr 11
2nd yr 12
3rd yr 13
4th yr 14
5th yr 15

That equals 65 million.

EDIT: Just projections, I'd give or take 500,000

 

[Evil Ash]

Is 65/5 yrs max? I assume it isn't - i'm happy with the signing. How much does that leave us in salary cap?

No its not the max. The max exceeds $100 million over 6 years.

A good question on how much we have left. Some people are saying its for $9-10 million his first year, so if true $6-7 million left

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

HOLY CRAP!

I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH BAD THINGS ABOUT THIS MOVE. EITHER WE WERE NEVER IN THE RUNNING FOR KOBE, IN WHICH CASE, SOMEONE REALLY SHOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING IN ORDER TO QUELL ALL OUR ENTHUSIASM (CUZ NOW EVERYTHING PALES IN COMPARISON), OR THE COLANGELI (OR WORSE YET, SARVER AND HIS CREW) ARE COMPLETE IDIOTS!

WE JUST MORTGAGED OUR FUTURE AND VAUNTED "FLEXIBILITY" ON AN AGING POINT GUARD?!? A POINT GUARD WHO CANNOT TAKE OVER A GAME?!? A POINT GUARD WHO AVERAGED 14.5 PTS AND 9 ASSISTS LAST YEAR?!? A POINT GUARD WHO PLAYS OLE' DEFENSE?!? A POINT GUARD WHO HAS HAD INJURY CONCERNS?!? OOOOOH, NOW IT ALL MAKES SENSE, THAT'S WHAT THE SUNS DO THESE DAYS, SIGN INJURED OR WAITING-TO-BE-INJURED RISKS! DID WE LEARN NOTHING W/ GOOGS/PENNY INJURIES? AND NOW WE'RE TYING UP THAT MUCH CASH FOR HOW MANY YEARS AGAIN?!? I THOUGHT THAT WAS WHY WE WANTED OUT FROM UNDER GOOGS AND PENNY'S CONTRACTS?!?

I JUST KNOW OKUR'S COMING NEXT . . . I JUST KNOW IT . . .

YEAH I'M F&$#ING PISSED OFF! NOT JUST AT THE NASH SIGNING, which is okay if we really weren't gonna get kobe, BUT AT THE FACT THAT WE SIGNED HIM FOR SO MUCH FRIGGIN' MONEY AFTER COMPLAINING ABOUT ALL OUR DEAD CAP SPACE WITH OLDER INJURED PLAYERS!

COME ON JERRY AND BRIAN, BRING OKUR! BRING HIM! I WANT TO BE REALLY MAD!!!

okay, i took out the size, color, and bold. but my sentiments remain the same. i am pissed and i have a right to express it. sorry if everyone took offense, it was not meant to offend any of YOU (though I REALLY wish that the folks down at AWA could have seen it posted like it was originally intended to be posted, like a fuming yelling irate fan).

 

[Cheesebeef]

Ouchie and Cheese sit back with disgusted looks on their faces. They didn't want to go back there - but that's where they are THE DARKSIDE RETURNS on a new board!

The song - The BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN blares as people start calling each other out as true fans - let the summer of ripping each other apart begin - eh, actually - now I just don't really care - this move sucks.

 

[slinslin]

Stop that crap, come on. You are filling this board with garbage. That's absolutely not apropriate.

 

[Chaplin]

Stop that crap Ouchie--you are rapidly becoming a troll. Disagree with the signing all you want, but don't act like a 3rd grader.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Stop that crap Ouchie--you are rapidly becoming a troll. Disagree with the signing all you want, but don't act like a 3rd grader.

I have to agree. You should show some self discipline and edit your post Ouchie. No one outside of you and your buddy want to read crap like that.

chap, i apologize. i'm just so pissed and i'm sitting in an office where i can't exactly let out a primordial scream.

and it's not that it's nash. he's okay. it's nash at the ridiculous numbers. it's nash as a result of everything we've given up, including last year's painful season, all in the attempts to add SIGNIFICANTLY to our core, which i just don't see 'cuz i view nash with THIS CONTRACT as an extremely albatross-like bandaid. i'd have been happier if we'd never have traded marbury honestly (unless it was all about clashing w/ amare, which is just a rumor at best).

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

and how am i rapidly becoming a troll? everything i post either contains legit basketball talk, frustration (to which i am certainly entitle as a fan), or some humor. gimme a friggin' break.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Good lord - yhou know how many times I've seen people do that kind of stuff - if someone's enraged - they should be able to express it here - why not just get back to the topic at hand instead of bitching about someone else - I mean did it hurt you that much?

Sorry but I don't buy it. You were so mad that all you could do was take the time to write a gigantic flaming red vent that took like two pages to scroll through?

If you can take the time to do all that, you can certainly take a deep breath and act like an adult.

Cheese, I have never...ever seen someone write in gigantic red type some impossible to read vent.

It isn't funny. It is just annoying. It is done solely to piss off the people who read it. How does that add to anything? Oh just because he is mad it is okay? That is a load and you know it.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

In any event, thank you Ouchie for changing it. I don't mind the content, it was just the way you displayed it was really irritating. Now go ahead and continue to be pissed off.

Some of you guys are going to be no matter what.

It isn't meant to be funny Chris - it's meant to display absolute rage - it was the first thing I actually thought to do, but I'm too computer illiterate to figure out how. I don't think Ouchie cares enough about the people here to go out of his way to spite them - that's just stupid IMO.

go back and read what i wrote in my edit (obviously before i wrote this response). i have never meant to just generally piss people off, why would i start now? that's never been my style.

i appreciate the board and the people on it. always have, but yeah, i AM pissed at this and this board is my way to vent! i suppose a lot of you don't read the cards board or y'all would be more accustomed to people venting. sorry if my size/color hurt your eyes.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Some of you guys are going to be no matter what.

meaning what exactly Chris? And to who is this directed at? I'm not taking it as such but this is pretty annoying to me when someone says this kind of stuff - either just say who you are talking about or don't say anything at all in regards to that kind of crap.

No, it definitely isn't your style, which is probably why you're getting such a negative response. There's nothing against not liking the signing, but you're not known to just go off on huge tangents that deflect from what you really want to say.

 

[mribnik]

Sheesh, I'm only 19 years old, but the first thing I did when I heard about the signing was took a breath, and thought positive. I was mad at first, but had no thoughts of typing in huge red letters and acting like a child.

You are reading into this cheese. I am just saying that some of you guys are going to be angry no matter what I say. I can't sway your opinion so why bother. I feel this way a lot on the P & R board.

That's it.

yes, continually calling me a child is a sure way to ensure that i'll calm down. thanks for the uninvited dig you mature individual!

like with quipps like "Quit Whining." Yeah - that was a mature adult response to someone talking basketball and being upset with consequences of what they think is a bad signing in the face of what's been out there and what is out there this offseason. You're a hypocrite Chris - no matter if you use small type or big bold red type and the above post is just ridiculous.

 

[mribnik]

Funny I only remember calling you a child once.

my bad - but today is a day of high passions - you gotta be ready for an explosions - both positive and negative - especially on sports boards where we all care about the same team.

As far as the P & R board - well - i think you should be sainted (no sarcasm) for all the crap you have to deal with over there - I can barely even go there anymore.
