    Suns, Eric Bledsoe Far Apart In Talks

    Often they advice on all business matters and manage the players public image. They handle all negotiations for contracts and filter and/or seek endorsement deals. They in many cases manage the players finances/budget and taxes and seek employment for many of their clients (most are not stars...

    Suns, Eric Bledsoe Far Apart In Talks

    I agree, it's an odd situation. I will say that his clients obviously trust him which is important. I myself wouldn't choose someone as my agent just because I trust them, but it's their decision. Also, it's really not any different than the Suns situation. We have McD who performs all the G.M...

    Boozer is a Laker

    Thanks for the link. I found the Poll on whether the Lakers will make the playoffs very entertaining. ;)

    Boozer is a Laker

    Whoever helps get them above the 5th pick is aces for Suns fans too.

    Suns Sign Anthony Tolliver

    How is this a "heck of a signing" if you don't know if he's any good? Odd post.

    Why not Amare?

    Won't be a burden? We don't have the room to absorb his contract. It's a burden in that we have to send back $8-10+ million just to get the contract to fit. So who do we send to NY? Tpo me anyone on this roster is better than bringing Amare here. Than we also lose flexibility. This would be a...

    Boozer is a Laker

    Don't forget, it's not only the position that matters. Does the guy fit in the locker room? Is he going to disrupt the chemistry. That stuff really does matter. I dont' know about Boozer and Davis's personalities, but I have to believe the Suns took a look at both and passed on Davis for some...

    Suns, Eric Bledsoe Far Apart In Talks

    No, Rich Paul actually wasn't one of his childhood friends. I read they met when Paul was 21 and Lebron was 17 or 18 at an airport. Most agents hold law degrees, I don't believe Paul has an undergrad degree. But, the thing to remember is it isn't Paul doing the negotiations from what I...

    trade proposal (CLE)

    Yeah, I might be talked into Bennett, but I'm not a fan of Waiters. If we could somehow get Wiggins, I'm all in. Of course they really have no use for Bledsoe with Kyrie there, but who knows? Wait, with Kyrie and Bledsoe's seemingly constant injury status, maybe they could get a full season...

    Suns, Eric Bledsoe Far Apart In Talks

    I'm starting to sour on Bledsoe. I certainly feel the Suns are playing this one right and I'm hoping they don't break down and give him the max. If he and his agent (who's a joke IMO) don't come back to earth and accept market value I hope the Suns can get out of this with a sign and trade...

    Why not Amare?

    We don't have the cap room to bring Amare back without shipping out around $8 million salary in return. Had we done it first prior to signing/resigning anyone we could have squeezed it in, but I think people are misjudging what the Suns have to spend based on the articles that said we wanted to...

    Suns vs Timberwolves - Summer League

    I agree. I watch him out there and he just plays seasoned. I have to remind myself that he's a rookie. Although, I don't want to get my hopes too high. I'll be pleased if he plays himself a regular part of the rotation this season and averages 9-10 pts a game. But, I can't help believing he will...

    Suns Sign Anthony Tolliver

    Exactly. Just because we don't sign someone doesn't mean we didn't try. Like you said, he probably saw a better opportunity for minutes in L.A. With all the talk of our front court being historically bad this coming season, I wonder if those that believe that have looked at what they Lakers are...

    Suns Sign Anthony Tolliver

    Well, with the rule changes it's certainly moving in the Suns favor. One day their will likely be fouls for looking at a guy the wrong way. The hurt feelings foul.

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

    I know, but I thought I'd remind some and inform others why the practice started in the first place. People sometimes look at things that are done and although the practice works as it was designed, nothing is without flaws. Over time they start to focus on the flaws and want the practice...

    2014 Suns Free Agency

    I was going to walk away and drop it until I saw your post. So I'll reply and than I am done with it and will never say another word on the issue. Fair? You just made some outlandish assumptions about me. You don't know me and you know no details of my life other than what is listed under my...

    2014 Suns Free Agency

    Again, I think I was very clear as to my intent and to what I meant. In fact, the question was never posed to you. You chose to imbed yourself in the subject. That is fair of course, but I made a statement baed on my perception and you took it as my making a negative or unfair judgement. So I'm...

    2014 Suns Free Agency

    It wasn't meant to be "heavy handed" and I feel I was clear about that, or at the least clear in my attempt not to be while still asking an honest and valid question. I like elindholm and believe him to be not only a core of this board, but one of the better members. I have zero negative...

    2014 Suns Free Agency

    You are correct. I do get burned out on this board and than I disappear for a while. I really like it here and like the discussions for the most part. I don't see myself as a "homer". I don't like everything they do, not even close, but I don't spend a lot of energy bitching and moaning about...

    2014 Suns Free Agency

    It must really suck to be a Suns fan for you. I fail to see why you and some others here bother? Is this really entertaining for you? I'm not trying to be an ass, I probably am, but it isn't my intent. I honestly don't understand what fans such as yourself get out of it? I don't think of you as...

    Suns Sign Anthony Tolliver

    Yeah, I highly doubt he will squeeze Warren out of anything. If Warren shows half of what he is in SL, he will be a regular part of the rotation. Tolliver will likely have many DNP's and be used in spot duty, especially should (and when) injuries occur. I have much higher hopes for Warren than I...

    Suns Sign Anthony Tolliver

    It also makes sense as he and Bledsoe's signing likely will get them to the minimum salary limit (which also will depend on what Bledsoe gets). It (including Bledsoe) will also get them to the minimum team members. I think they gave him that amount as it's a good salary for a trade filler and...

    Suns Sign Anthony Tolliver

    Eh, $3 million... smells like they signed a trade filler for down the road. If he can help while he's here, great!

    2014 Suns Free Agency

    The thing is, there haven't really been any outside options to slip away. The only PF I would have wanted would have been Bosh and he wasn't going anywhere. I think the only attractive option for the Suns is through a trade if they want to get something done this summer. As other teams use up...

    Ersan Ilyasova

    I know nothing about him other than he plays a position of need. I like that his contract has only the 2 years guaranteed so it's not a long term commitment if it didn't work out. Does his style fit with the Suns and what would we have to give up to get him?
