    2014 Suns Free Agency

    No offense, but I've lived in Phx and I would never go back there after living in the NW. Portland is a great place to live.

    That's true if they are really available.

    2014 Suns Free Agency

    Well at least they are shooting for the moon. Since the chances of even getting a meeting are slim to none since it appears they have a plan in Miami, I'm happy just knowing McD and staff are doing what they can to build a contender. We may not get a top guy this year, likely won't, but I have...

    Wade, Bosh, Haslem opt out.

    I honestly don't recall that, but I was taking 18-20 graduate credits a term that year, working full time, and my 1st child had just been born in May. I don't think following the Suns off season was high on my list at the time. I admit, I have no rational argument. I don't begrudge the...

    I'm not saying you are wrong, but I don't recall the "had to talk him into it" part. I think his point though was with all the complaining that Sarver hasn't brought in a franchise player, there were two with the team for a lot of the years he's owned it. He may not have been the one to get them...

    Wade, Bosh, Haslem opt out.

    You're correct, my logic has fallacy written all over it. It's not rational, but as I said and will say again. I don't believe I'd like it anymore if it were the Suns they came to play for. There's just something about it that rubs me wrong and it's not because it's not my team. To be honest, I...

    Time will tell who has the better career, but Warren played against better completion and had nobody to help on that team. He's two years younger and I think he'll get better shooting the 3. JMO, but McDermott doesn't have much higher to go while I think Warren will improve. I for one am glad we...

    They are overpaid period. It's disgusting what athletes and entertainers are paid. Speaks to the backwards priorities of society, but it is what it is.

    Exactly. The guy was never as bad as Jerry Jones, but leaned in that direction. He made mistakes in who he hired and I think the fans and media love of this current front office and coach shows him what it is to be a good owner.

    Wade, Bosh, Haslem opt out.

    I read somewhere earlier today that teams have been trying to set up meetings with James for the beginning of free agency and his agent isn't listening. He's not leaving, never was. This crap will end up leading to the next CBA having a slotted pay structure IMO. Sure you guys can play...

    The point for us is to be entertained. As far as the owners, it's to run a profitable business. To what degree is different for all of them I suppose. Having our team win a Championship would be thrilling, but I'm just a fan. I don't lose sleep when they lose and I don't get paid when they win...

    Wade, Bosh, Haslem opt out.

    Do they even have to take pay cuts? Can't they sign a mello and a Lowry and then resign the others? If the owner is willing to pay the tax can't they go over the cap since they have (at least I think they have) the bird rights to the ones opting out?

    Wade, Bosh, Haslem opt out.

    Agreed. I really hate what the league has become. As much as I'd love the Suns to win a championship, I don't think I'd like it if they did it this way. I know most likely won't agree with me on that. I hate, but respect San Antonio. I have zero respect for Miami. The way younger fans...

    Wade, Bosh, Haslem opt out.

    Jorge Sierra @hoopshype Update: Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh opting out. bit.ly/1hKUSdo So none of them are likely going anywhere. Pay cuts all around to make room for more talent.

    I can agree with that, but it's still far from a sure thing. I also think you have a skewed memory of JC. Don't get me wrong, I loved him as an owner, but he made many many bad moves and never brought a championship to the city. Saver has made his share of bad decisions for sure, but he's not...

    Thank for posting it again, I did see your other post of this. We'll have to agree to disagree here because I believe whatever criteria they are using to call someone a "star" is not the same as I would. IMO there are very few "stars" in this league, nowhere near the number they must conclude to...

    Thoughts on this draft...

    Correct. Plus, even though it's been shortened to 3 days from 7, it's still a long time to ask another free agent to hold with a maybe we'll make you an offer when they could jump on a sure thing before that.

    You're telling me 70% of first picks are stars? What qualifies as a star? Because I would disagree with that by what I believe a star to be. In the last 20 years only 2 1st picks have been a won championships. Since Shaq, 3. I don't recall if any 1st pics were on a team that won one, but I'm...

    Which is true of anyone whether drafted 1st or 25th. The lottery is a crap shoot. There are more disappointments than not in the top 10. How many teams have played the lottery game and came away disappointed with a guy who many thought was a sure thing over and over again. IMO the Suns are doing...

    I could be wrong, but in 15/16 the year Klay is due (after next year, not two) for his next contract they have Bogut @ $12m, Lee @ $15.5, Iggy @ $11.7, and Curry @ $11.3. That's around $50.5 just for those 4. If they do give Klay a max they won't have much left for the rest of the roster. Maybe...

    I agree, they are better. I'm just saying that they get all kinds of hype, but looking at their future, I'm not seeing one as bright as ours. They have a lot of money wrapped up in those 3 players who missed a lot of time. Bogut is an injury waiting to happen or more a healthy player waiting to...

    I did think about that since there was the rumor, but I doubt it. They probably took the player they felt was best available.

    Yes, and than he posted that it doesn't mean he's leaving, wants to leave, or I'm gone.

    Jesus... can we at least give McD and coach a few years to see what they can build? In one year they managed to not only increase the wins by 23, but they also changed the attitudes of the players. They brought in Plumlee, Green, and Bledsoe who IMO all 3 outplayed anyones expectations. They...
