3 years $61m. Out of our price range for sure.

Well, duh. And I think Ibaka is getting at LEAST $15 million per season, as is Jerami Grant.

Realistic targets who could potentially help as a stop-gap include:

Paul Millsap
Bobby Portis
Taj Gibson
Harry Giles
Chris Boucher
Marvin Williams

I'm glad Dwight Howard is out of the Western Conference.

Don't other teams ever run out of money.

Did you not just see McDonugh's tweet. We are now in a buyers market. ATL money is now also gone.

When other teams run out of money the Suns can play hardball.

Feel like this was always how this free agency would go for us.

The teams that have the cap space will get first dibs and once that money dries up we have our chance to sign some players.

Only watching all this money float around.
Meh. Some of it has been teams resigning their own free agents and some has been the few teams that actually have cap space.

We will just have to wait for the teams that can afford to overpay to start running short on money.

It's not a bad strategy unless a team wants a particular player.

Not really hard ball. Lot's of teams have the MLE - money is no longer the issue, it's then about convincing them your situation is best for them.

this is why it’s so important to have guys like Paul to recruit

Like guaranteeing a PF a starting spot on a playoff team. Hopefully that nets us a good PF.
