For the Suns it is more fishing and less hunting. We have the 9.7 MLE and that is it for the upper players. We just kind of have to throw it out there and hope someone takes it. We have no real way to sweeten it.

It looks like the Suns still can't attract top free agents.

We can give more years and add a PO. Credibly offer starter minutes.

you’re upset we didn’t spend money we don’t have on Bertans and Gallo, the only two guys that fit what we want to do?

Well we apparently never had a real shot at Bertans if he resigned with Washington.

Spending $20 million on Gallo at this point would not be wise either even if we could have made the cap room.

It does kind of make sense now why we decided to not renounce baynes now, very clear top free agents were all priced out of our range even with 18 mil.

I thought Paul was supposed to be bringing players here with him. Once again, we fall victim to the "other shoe" speculation. The Paul trade is looking worse and worse...

Got a feeling suns never even made an offer to him.

There has to be something wrong with that guy going to a new team every year.

this whole time we have been hearing guys are going to sign for less money because teams aren’t going to be throwing money around this year due to all the money loss


But nooooope,

I’m not mad go get paid but this is the last time I listen to certain guys

“less money” meaning like maybe $1 or $2mm AAV not 5/6AAV

He is better than anyone we have at PF...by a long shot...

Don’t want his toxic ass here. Also, he negates a lot of Ayton’s massive rim running value. And he sucks at defense. Would rather have Dario/Jalen tbh.

Are they not operating over the cap? How could they offer that deal if they are?

Nevermind, it's a sign and trade.

well if we lose Rubio, Oubre, Baynes maybe Saric and only add a 35 year old often injured Chris Paul that’s not good. We have no depth

Saric definitely coming back.

Paul played ~same number of games as Booker last three years #factCheck.

Harrell is a phenomenal defender. If you want an example of someone who sucks at defense at the 4, look no further than Saric. The only two worse defenders at the 4 in the NBA are Carmelo and Kaminsky.
