I think that number is vastly too high for the Suns if you believe at the very least the teams has PTSD from the last two HOF signing that didn't work out here.

You could be right but I don't think so unless the Suns get an offer they can't refuse. I think they want him as insurance. If someone offers something stupid the Suns have to consider it.
Precious would become the insurance.

Did you see he’s basically said F you to the nuggets and is signing in Greece? I saw that this morning.

It's interesting because Valanciunas is still under contract in the NBA with the Kings for something like $20 million unless the trade is completed.

He will need to look for a buyout to go to Greece. I guess we will find out more soon.

What are the rules on that?

that was collusion and rule breaking.

There is rule breaking and there is taking advantage of lax rules. Jerry broke no rules, they had to rewrite the rules because he was clever.

Minnesota tried the same thing a few years later with Joe Smith, a mediocre player, at best, and they got brutally punished for breaking a brand new and it wasn’t shocking because the wolves were a terrible franchise. Poor KG.

I feel like Ishbia thought he was being clever by blasting through the apron… but no… he was really stupid.

Mat found out the hard way that his brashness backfired.

The Rockets are trading Cam Whitmore to the Wizards in exchange for two second-round picks.

I wonder if some of that will come back our way when the Durant deal finalizes?

But I would rather have had Whitmore in the deal.
we couldn't have gotten this dude thrown in the deal?

this dude is going to beat ayton for the lukas starting spot - guaranteed - ayton will get butthurt and start throwing chairs around again - portland paid him to leave - lukangeles will eventually do the same

I would have liked to had Whitmore as well. Looks like the Rockets are trying to recoup some second round picks from the Durant trade.

The Pacers trade a second round pick and a swap for center Jay Huff.

Hmm the Richard’s market seems to be drying up. I don’t think we can find any takers for Grayson or O’Neal either. Looking more and more like our only way out of the 2nd apron is to stretch Beal. Not good.

kinda proud of ish for holding onto richards - we know there were calls - but i think all 3 will become more valuable during the season

Those extensions given to Allen and O'Neale are looking like a terrible idea.

The bad moves made by James Jones look to outweigh the good ones.

I’m surprised Whitmore wasn’t included if they didn’t value him much.

I read that we preferred the 2nd round picks to Whitmore. Used them to move up and get Fleming and Brea. Pretty sure it was a choice the Suns had and they preferred the picks.
That’s interesting. Where did you read that?
