Courageous of Chris Paul giving it his all in the Finals.

I posted exactly that (don't be surprised if Paul has offseason surgery). Everybody that had watched him all season long could tell something was not right during the entire finals. He couldn't hold on to the ball. His passing was beyond suspect and his shots one day were on and the next everything fell short.

The injury could have happened on a foul by Beverley.

I believe it's also the same hand he tore ligaments in Game 3 of the Clippers series.

If it was Beverley that is certainly frustrating. And appropriate.

Yup. Happened at the end of the Clippers series, flared up at the beginning of Game 1 of the NBA Finals, and aggravated during Game 2 of the NBA Finals. The effect was palpable seeing Games 1 and 5 in person.

It's more important than ever for the Suns to add a third point guard with Paul's injury.

They need to be able to rest him when needed.

It was when Beverly undercut him...on purpose...and then mocked him. The entire point of that dirty play was to get Cp3 to fall awkwardly and hurt himself.

Anyone that think Beverly didn't purposely try to take out 2 best players is fooling himself. Now the question becomes if Ty Lou and the rest of the coaches were in on it??

When you get that far into the playoffs, it seems to be a legit strategy to send out a thug to injur star players. Worked for the spurs for years!

If a player gets suspended for a clearly dirty play, coach should get 2X the number of games. Only way to stop the tactic

Need a legit back up 5, a BIG 4/5, backup 1/2, backup 3/4

Here, Cory Joseph would be ideal (as opposed to as a starter, as was speculated a couple of years ago).

I agree. There will be some good players left out of the first waive of free agency.

Jae Crowder was signed on day two.

 

[Chaplin]

CP3 is back.

CP3 is back.

YES!!!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Oh boy that’s a big # in dollars and years.

 

[Mainstreet]

It looks like there could be incentives at least for the final year.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

But depending on how it’s structured it could be a blessing if it’s $30/year (I can’t believe I am capable of typing that sentence).

I guess it would be asking too much if the fourth year is a team option or only partially guaranteed.

I’d be shocked if that’s the case.

but what about next year when Ayton and Bridges get paid

 

[jlove]

Suns only team that could offer a 4th year. It was already reported that the deal may have a 4th year due to dealing with the PA President and the Over 38 Rule. Most likely the deal is as what was talked about before $30 mil per with the 4th year either being a TO or partially guaranteed only. If it's a TO, then it's basically a 3/$90 deal. If it's partially guaranteed for say that $10 in the 4th year, then it turns into a 3/$100 with $10mil dead money that 4th year for salary cap purposes.
