    2014 Suns Free Agency

    I know but Hoopshype is a terrible source for cap information. http://www.basketball-reference.com/contracts/PHO.html Is closer to the truth and when up to date is pretty accurate. Also, a cap hold is 150% of last years salary. That isn't his cap-hold, it's his qualifying.

    2014 Suns Free Agency

    They could have created the money by not resigning anyone and cutting a few others. As it stands we have about $15 before signing Bledsoe. Of course they can go over the cap to sign him so anyone they bring in will need to sign before he does. His cap hold though is around $6.5 so they actually...

    Could Lebron leave Cleveland again?

    As said above, he only signed for two years because it makes financial sense. He will be able to sign for far more in two years than had he signed for 4 this year. It has nothing to do with leaving again. I highly doubt he will. Of course, outside of making financial sense, he has the option to...

    Summer League 2014

    I'm pretty sure that after 3 years in the league teams cannot make someone play in summer league, but they can if they choose to themselves. My guess is Derrick wanted to for obvious reasons. He needs all the help he can get. I'm sure he's also trying to make an impression on the Kings front...

    Suns vs. Bucks, 7 PM (Arizona Time), summer league

    Yeah, I was just thinking about Green as he has performed with the Suns. So if Goodwin does have a Green career, at least he'll move on to many other teams. :) I agree, Goodwin is not ready for a nightly role on the team. He'll likely get spot duty here and there and will likely only see the...

    Suns vs. Bucks, 7 PM (Arizona Time), summer league

    Not sure why that's a worry? He was the 29th pick in a terrible draft class. If he turns out to be like Green, he would have a role off the bench and we would be lucky to get that out of such a late pick. I think he will be better than that, but I'd be ok with his turning into a backup SG.

    Heat reaching out to Bledsoe

    Another difference is Thomas put up his numbers against mainly Western Opponents while Irving played in the East. Cleveland overpaid IMO 1) because they have a poor track record on judging talent and 2) its Cleveland. Also IMO I would much rather have Dragic, Bledsoe, or Thomas than Irving...

    Heat reaching out to Bledsoe

    Or it could just mean no team has approached him with the contract he is looking for. He knows the Suns will match and he knows what their offer is. Why bother going on a visit if the team in question isn't looking to pay him what he wants? If their offer is the same as the Suns are looking to...

    Sub forums and Stickies. Let's clean this place up

    If memory serves, the sub forums were created because we had Laker fans posting topics/discussions about their team and annoying the rest of the board and we had some dummies who posted their ridiculous trade ideas countless times. So I'm fine with them going away, but careful what you ask for...

    Present depth chart

    Just as you can't read too much into a guy doing well int he summer league, you can't read much into a rookie doing poorly in his first game. Brown is nowhere near ready, but he can shoot. I suspect nerves and unfamiliarity had a large role in his poor play. The only thing I took from...

    Heat reaching out to Bledsoe

    Exactly. The kid was taken with the 29th pick and is only 19. That he doesn't get much court time is absolutely zero indication that the team doesn't want him or does not believe in him. My God, the "evidence" some use to come to their conclusions is absolutely baffling to me. I think the Suns...

    Heat reaching out to Bledsoe

    No offense meant, but you seem out of character and ultra paranoid this past week. We've heard Milwaukee and Miami so far as teams interested in signing Bledsoe to an offer sheet and yet we've heard nothing of him planning or taking visits to either team. He's looking to make as much money as he...

    Suns vs. Warriors, 5 PM (Arizona Time), summer league

    I was thinking of your comment, but among many others over the past day or two. There is 1 PG on the summer team that will be on the final roster and he will likely spend most of his time as a practice playmate and D-League trainee. Most of the Summer league team will never be on this team. The...

    Suns vs. Warriors, 5 PM (Arizona Time), summer league

    It's not being talked about. It's being exaggerated, critiqued, whined about, ect. This board went from let's not make any stupid moves because we are still building and developing to let's throw money at any deadbeat dude with a PF or C label. All this NOW NOW NOW mentality sounds like my 4...

    I do not share your take on what he said. We did not leave with the same understanding. I'll leave it at that.

    Suns vs. Warriors, 5 PM (Arizona Time), summer league

    All this BS talk about too many PG's is going to drive me crazy. Best I just ignore it. But, there are 3 PG's on the summer league team, that's not heavy on PG's by any standard. On the season roster we have 4 and one of them plays SG and another is a 19 year old raw rookie. I will try to make...

    Isaiah Thomas To Suns

    I like what works. It depends on who your playing. If small ball works against some teams use it some, the ones it doesn't, don't. It really doesn't matter what groups they field next year, they will not be competing for a championship. I like everyone else want the young guys to get some play...

    2014 Suns Free Agency

    But trade who? Unlike most, I don't think we are steep in backcourt help. I see Bledsoe and Dragic starting with Green and Thomas coming off the bench. I can see Goodwin getting spot duty and replacing Green the following year. Kid is only 19 and so is Ennis. I really don't expect much from...

    Ok .... Here We Go ..... Bucks To Make An Offer To Eric Bledsoe

    Keep reaching Riley. You have nothing to offer in a trade and so the Suns will just match and keep your account frozen for 3 days. Have a nice day.

    Lakers Pick Watch 2015

    Even if the Lakers get a top 5 pick next year, the next year the pick is protected top 3, and the year after no protection. It's about time for the Lakers to suck for awhile. Of all the bitching about Sarver not getting top talent to come, hey they were so confident that Howard would never...

    2014 Suns Free Agency

    Personally I don't want him. Not at this point in his career, but let's say the front office did. Maybe they did place a call? Maybe he's demanding high pay and multiple years? Let's see what he ends up agreeing to before complaining we didn't bring him here. Bosh was not available. Neither the...

    2014 Suns Free Agency

    Man, everyone went from I'd rather do nothing than make any stupid moves to let's sign anyone who's 6;9" and over. It's a crappy year for bigs in free agency. The Suns aren't going to contend this year, to think so would be foolish. Why run out and sign someone just to get someone. Yes, we need...
