Sign Collin Gillespie to the regular roster, even if the Suns have to waive or trade another player later on.

The Suns will need him going forward, if not this season, in future seasons.

We don't need to sign him now. No one can take him from us and we have restricted rights this summer, so long as they tender a qualifying offer. It'll be fine. The time to sign may be in March or April.

Hopefully the Suns will match any offer when Gillespie becomes a RFA in 2025-26, but I like wrapping up players long term at bargain prices.

Don't know if this is a great mindset or not. Obviously, the goal isn't to stay there long term, but you don't want to play like you don't want to be where you are either. Probably just reading too far into the quote.

Another breaking new ground move by Ishbia. I think this is fantastic, even if I'm not in Arizona.

It's another team for me to watch.

I may drive everyone crazy when they find a player I like. I'm already there with Collin Gillespie.

Jalen Bridges does show NBA potential, but my guess is you are joking about the Suns needing more small forwards.

Bridges does seem to be improving on both ends of the court.
