    The Official Trade Idea Thread

    ??? You have $21mil in salaries going out...$6mil coming in... ...not even Charlotte has enough cap space to absorb that. The salaries need to be within 125% + $100K for the League to approve.

    The OFFICIAL off-season Suns plan thread!!

    1. LA is one of the largest stages...and they have a history of signing high profile vets 2. He could sign for the minimum...and make up the money in endorsements (something SA, Dallas, or Detroit can't offer)...and don't say money doesn't matter...it matters to all players. 3. Like him or...

    Teams rarely trade within their division...plus LA is not trading Brand.

    The OFFICIAL off-season Suns plan thread!!

    Fair enough. It's just that the Suns salary last year was $68mil...slightly over the luxury tax threshold...but Sarver (who has made it clear he doesn't want to pay the tax) agreed to do it because he thought that the Suns had a shot at the title. Due to Sterns actions we may never know...but...

    Huh? Kobe could get hit by a bus tomorrow too... When healthy, Amare has proven to be a top ten talent...a big man who has speed...can rebound...block shots...and score at will. He's a good Character guy who hasn't had major legal problems... ...and your response is that a prior injury COULD...

    The OFFICIAL off-season Suns plan thread!!

    I call BS! If Garnett was here for the one year...and we didn't win a title... ...he'd be looking for the one thing that has eluded him his entire career...(a Championship). He has money...a certain hall of fame spot... ...if he failed to win a title with the Suns his first year...and Kobe...

    Are you serious??? We have not one but two First Team All-NBA players....and you want to trade one of them away??? Amare will be a force in the League for the next decade..... ...Garnett has the ability to opt out of his deal next year....and sign where he chooses... ...you want to "rent"...

    He's not an UFA...he has a player option for $10,129,870 this year and $10,909,091 next year if he exercises it...and he will since only one team has enough room under the cap to offer him more (Charlotte)...the most any other team can offer him is the MLE.

    Do We Really Need To Change Anything?

    Kurt's not going anywhere unless he's part of a salary purge (in which case Diaw's $9mil is a better purge option). KT's salary is scheduled to be $8,091,187...and only one team (Charlotte) is more than that under the cap (Orlando, Washington, and Atlanta will just be a few mil under). That...

    Do We Really Need To Change Anything?

    We'll know Tuesday after the lottery...Atlanta had the 4th worst record...but if they are lucky in the lottery and land one of the top three spots, they keep the pick. We'll get the pick if it is 4-7. We also have Cleveland's #24 pick and our own at #29. History tells us that unless there is a...

    Do We Really Need To Change Anything?

    Someone's going, make no mistake about it. Sarver doesn't want to pay luxury tax...not only is it a dollar for dollar penalty...but the team doesn't share in the revenues. This year the Suns were about a mil over the tax...but Sarver lived with it because he thought the team had a legitimate...

    The Official Trade Idea Thread

    Payroll for next year is $76mil for 10 players....with the draft pick(s) plus scrubs to get to roster minimum...salaries will be around $82mil...if the luxury tax threshold is at $68mil...total team payroll will be $96million... ...doubtful that Sarver goes there (with San Antonio's payroll at...

    The OFFICIAL off-season Suns plan thread!!

    It's clear from his recent comments that Sarver believes this team is close to championship level (although because of Stern's stubborness we may never know for sure). It's also clear that the long term goal is to avoid the luxury tax...so there's little chance for the Suns taking on KG's $22mil...

    The Official Trade Idea Thread

    I like Garnett as much as the next guy, but no way is Sarver paying $22mil for a single player, regardless of how good he is. Any trade will have to reduce salary in the process while staying within the 125% rule (ie sending out 20 mil...taking back 15).

    The OFFICIAL off-season Suns plan thread!!

    They're both over the cap so the salaries have to be within 125% + $100,000 for the League to approve the trade.

    Shawn Marion's Goodbye?

    With the luxury tax around $66 mil...and the 10 players under contract for 2007-2008 at over $76 million (before adding the $5mil for draft picks)... ...someone's gone. I can't see Sarver paying over $100mil in player salaries (with the dollar for dollar tax).

    The OFFICIAL off-season Suns plan thread!!

    The luxury tax threshold is $60 some odd mil...we are scheduled to pay out $76mil for ten players... ...you think that Sarver will shell out another $5.8mil for the MLE...plus another $5+ mil for the draft players...for an $87mil payroll? Counting the dollar for dollar tax, it would be around...

    The OFFICIAL off-season Suns plan thread!!

    I like D'Antoni and unlike many on here I do think his style can win a championship...the Laker's "showtime" was a wide open style. However...he is going to need to change his substitution patterns. The Spurs have one franchise player in Duncan...and two very good complimentary players in...

    The OFFICIAL off-season Suns plan thread!!

    The Suns are slated to pay out over $76,000,000 in salaries next year to ten players (well over the luxury tax threshold)...and that doesn't count the draft picks or the free agent signings to get to the full roster. While Sarver may pay the tax if there was an excellent shot at winning a...

    The OFFICIAL off-season Suns plan thread!!

    Ratliff will make $11,666,666 next year...Allan Ray $687,456 for a total of $12,354,122. Marion will make $16,440,000 and Jones $2,904,000 for a total of $19,344,000. And I tried the trade machine and the trade failed.

    The League would reject your trade since the salaries aren't within 125% + $100,000.

    Put this series loss on D'Antoni

    You're a snarf...someone who pharts in the bath tub and bites the bubbles. Tyson lives here in Phoenix...if we wanted to we could have signed Mike as a free agent...and had him bite at Duncan's ears when he went inside the paint... ...but that's not basketball. The Spurs played an excellent...
