    The Durant Sweepstakes

    the last time i heard talk like that, it was about us having no doubt Stephen Curry would be a Sun on draft day

    The Durant Sweepstakes

    sad, but so true those 2 words were the proclamation of the end of another Suns group with real championship potential destined to end like when Amare moved on, or Joe Johnson before that and Barkley to Houston before that we knew in that moment we would never realize the potential of Ayton or...

    The Durant Sweepstakes

    the damn shame of all of this is... instead of being the next Durant team after his Nets fiasco, if Ayton wasn't a primadonna and was happy with a 4 year max, i'd much prefer that we just had another crack at the ring with the same team next season and we'd still have the young core of Booker...

    Booker signs Super Max Extension - 2022 Offseason

    i think it is fair enough to say this payday is banking on his upside potential and yet, it is just as fair to speculate we've seen his best, with the best ever Suns team playing beside him another problem with this is that with great pay, comes great responsibility and it puts a lot of...

    Booker signs Super Max Extension - 2022 Offseason

    even if praise from a couple of big-name fans equated to "recruiting skills" that will be negated by a team being cash-strapped soon with him sucking up $56 million per year in cap space the compliments were somewhat driven last year by Booker being underrated -- and him being the star on the...

    Booker signs Super Max Extension - 2022 Offseason

    this super-max deal will likely be a ball and chain. it's nice that we've been loyal to Booker (and his agent) but he's one of the very few we haven't been cheap with over the years -- and this deal will sustain that trend. The best management model has been San Antonio and Golden State who won...

    Gents please…

    true. Durant did warrant it's own thread. but once it's started in the prior thread, the only way to do it right is for an admin to move all the posts to the new thread and they don't need the extra (volunteer) work. It's worse when there's 2 conversations going on the first person to post the...

    Durant will be 34 in 3 months and there are health risks that go along with that. Ayton, Cam and 2 picks is more than fair. I wouldn't give up more than that.

    right, "nobody is absorbing that SuperMax" except us, as of today. mark it. another 1tinsoldier "i told you so moment" to look back on every time in the future someone complains about Booker coming up short in a game while being payed like a top 2 player in the world

    that's the thing. he'd have to get substantially better -- more like Curry level (and be consistently healthy) to compensate for the salary sacrifices we'll be making. honestly, he made All-NBA because of the campaign that was happening, mostly from being on the "best team in the league." But...

    Brunson was right to move on. Both he and Doncic are score-first point guards. It does hurt Dallas to lose him, since they had a backup pg who played like a starter.

    Suns Off-season Thread

    losing a key role-player like McGee is awful. but get used to it when you're paying a guy who is barely an all-star 53 million a year interesting that not one poster has mentioned a reservation about that -- even though he has recurring hamstring problems and played a major role in the great...

    Suns Off-season Thread

    i don't believe KD still wants to play with Kyrie for 1 minute. If he said otherwise it's just to save face because getting together was both of their ideas -- but a complete failure. And Kyrie was a total pain in the hole.

    so the Suns player we can't agree on being called a "superstar" will earn the 2nd largest yearly salary in NBA history?

    Suns Off-season Thread

    help me out. in the middle of all this Durant talk, did Devin Booker (a top 15 player) just become the highest paid player in the NBA?

    Suns Off-season Thread

    that's what i was about to post. Durant, Booker and CP3 would not be a title lock and we could indeed end up like the new Nets. for one thing, we're no longer a top defensive team without Ayton and Bridges

    Suns Off-season Thread

    so if Ayton gets an offer and we can't trade him if we match, should we sign Ayton to the max first -- so we can trade him? the clock is on Jones to make the right move!

    Suns Off-season Thread

    trading Ayton, Bridges and Cam constitutes "gutting the team." you know Durant has a say, and it also doesn't work for him to join a "gutted" team. he wants out of Jersey because the Nets' window has closed. he's looking for an open window. that's also why trading Booker is a no go

    yes, Ayton's priorities fist came into question when we acquired him, when he was already focusing on his big re-signing payday. regarding Durant, he has a history of saying stupid stuff. For the Suns, i would compare the move to the Barkley trade. he was an idiot before he joined us, but by...

    so, right after we lost game 7, THIS was the "unique opportunity" someone leaked, that would become available to the Suns! (the tease sounded like someone of Lebron or Duran's magnitude)

    Suns Off-season Thread

    i don't like Durant -- personally. as in, his personality. but there's nothing to not like about him as a player (though, i'd much prefer him to play less one-on-one, he's one of the few players with the cred to pull it off) that being said, i think we're in desperation mode in regards to...

    The Ayton Plan

    so, unless we change our perspective and start getting excited about salary and luxury tax savings there's not much to look forward to next season and beyond?

    The Ayton Plan

    imo, Gobert is OVER-rated. doesn't seem to impact the game as much as his stats would indicate. and why does he not get along with Mitchell?
