Actually keeping Irving makes sense because LeBron is most likely leaving CLE after next year any way so Kylie has a chance to be the man again.

Even so, Kyrie doesn't want to stay because Cleveland will revert to a dumpster fire when Lebron leaves.
FWIW I saw Bledsoe was ranked #4 on this list of the top 5 contracts for each position. He is on a fair deal, that looked like it could be a bad contract when signed but the increase in the salary cap makes it look much better.
Both Morris brothers are listed also, Marcus as #5 on the SF list and Markieff at #4 for PF's. Both those deals were originally penned with the Suns.

IT's contract is not on that list! That is an absolute oversight. The Suns did that one too.
I guess Goodwin will end up overseas? If he can't latch on with the Nets then he needs to work on his game, a lot, if he hopes to play in the NBA.

He mentions IT in the beginning as an expiring contract, which he voided from the discussion.
But the point is valid. McD has some really good contracts out there.
Interesting. And neither player was drafted by the franchise they played the 20 seasons for.

It seems the Bleacher Report makes their own rules regarding these contracts.

I still have hope for Archie Goodwin who played fairly well for the Nets. He definitely needs to improve his game to find a niche in the NBA.
However, he is still only 22 years old. Perhaps playing overseas might give him the opportunity and minutes to take the next step.

Waiting for someone to suggest signing Archie because he fits the "timeline."

Give Archie a year or two in Europe and he will not only fit the timeline, he will be a contributor.

I'm not holding my breath. He can't shoot. 4 years in the NBA and his outside shooting is still absolutely awful. Combine that with his inability to pass or defend... and there isn't a lot to work with. But hey, if you need someone to recklessly throw themselves into the lane... he is your guy.

I understand what you are saying.
My hope is Goodwin can find something to hang his hat on in the next couple of years. Maybe overseas he can figure it out, especially defensively.

I would like to see the whole play because it looked like the other player may have instigated the incident.

Not to be a jerk, but this is the ultimate "roll eyes" post.
Archie is GONE. Try to move on.
Archie was in Phoenix for 3 years, struggled to stay in the league last season, and is now without a team. He'll end up in the D-League or playing overseas. The chances of things clicking for him are slim. He's had plenty of opportunity and at this point if he hopes to make it back to the NBA he needs to show 1 or 2 facets of the game he can do well.
I know people knocked his ability to be taught or questioned if he was coachable and I think his last release shows it wasn't just an issue that fans on message boards had but a legit problem of his.

Apparently Suns management met with Booker to ensure him he's not being traded. I don't think any Suns fan thought Booker would be dealt but it's reassuring to hear that's something management has reached out to him about. I've seen his name mentioned in hypothetical deals with Cleveland for Irving or before the draft with New York for Porzingis. Neither of those players are considerably better than him now or have higher upside but that doesn't stop fans or local sports analysts from using him in trade scenarios.
Small moves like that help build up the teams perception around the league and help keep the relationship between Booker and the Suns good. The last thing we need is for Booker to get upset because his name is getting thrown around in trade rumors. That was one of the things that ended up hurting the Suns with Marion years ago. We do control his future since he won't be a RFA for 2 more years but hopefully they can get him signed to an extension next offseason. If he hits RFA then he'll probably get a max offer that is structured in an odd way that could hurt us. Hopefully we don't even have to deal with that though and get him locked him next offseason.

I've moved on from Archie when he was released by the Suns. However, I see nothing wrong with voicing my opinion about him as a player.
I continue to see what the Suns saw in him when they drafted him. Now it's up to Archie to prove disbelievers wrong by developing an NBA game. Playing overseas may help him. I do not believe it is too late. Sure the odds against him.

Your post overtly referenced Archie fitting the "timeline", i.e. returning to the Suns. You have most certainly not moved on.
When Tyler Ennis is still getting a contract while Archie has not, doesn't that tell you something?

I think he was responding to my joke about the "timeline."
