2019 Free Agency

[Yuma]

Suns decline option on Ray Spalding. Not a lot of cap gain. This lowers the bigs on the roster to 3. In my opinion we need another PF, or PF/C. Perhaps this signals another big coming in? Or trying to get max money for Dlo?

This is a non-story. He is a minimum contract player, we can easily sign him or a player of a similar caliber later.

How many guys smoke weed in the NBA? I am guessing a high amount..

Is there any other amount?

Dr. Dre music is playing in my mind now....

Or that management doesn't know what it's doing. I would have been okay with Spaulding getting time at PF. Now Saric is officially the only PF on the roster.

Leilani Mitchell probably the best PG in Phoenix right now. Maybe sign her off the Mercury?

Leilani Mithchell 18 points 11 assists 5 rebounds tonight versus tough Indiana!

Wow, that is weird. I thought he had another 4-5 years in him.

His agent told him he was going to play for the Phoenix Suns!

Yes, the total numbers of NBA players smoking weed are undoubtedly high.

Was about to post the same thing. There are also pictures where people recognized D'angelo's tattoos

Hooray for cyber-stalking

Bickley & Marriota were jokingly speculating this morning that Booker could be behind the D Lo billboards in PHX.

Once it became apparent that the Suns were going to be one of his better options, he took the dignified way out.

 

[Hoop Head]

On 98.7 today, one of the national guys said he didnt think the Suns would have to add an asset to get rid of JJ. Color me a bit shocked.

And Brian Whinhorst said that the Suns could easily dump Jackson within the next 24 hours if they wanted, that was including no assets. It's all in how Jackson is viewed and I think you can count on there being 1 stupid GM out there.

If nothing else, trade him to Cleveland for JR Smith so we can waive him. His deal isn't guaranteed so we'd free up space that way. The Cav's GM was so high on Jackson when he was drafted that he wouldn't do the trade for Bledsoe without him. You know Lebron had to be pissed about that but he held firm. Jackson is from Michigan also so he'd be closer to home in Cleveland and you might take the chance that he'd straighten up in a new location.

At some point we are going to stop ripping on our own team and take pride in it again.

If they keep Oubre and bring in a good point guard I would feel some pride and hope immediately. Adding Russell or Brogdon to this team (hell, maybe even Rubio) and one more rotation vet for depth, I think with with good coaching, that is a team that could make the playoffs.

If they bring in a lesser point guard, like Joseph, I will be deeply disappointed. What is the point of dumping contracts for cap space and then going cheap?

If they bring in a lesser point guard AND lose Oubre... man... I will probably be as low on the team as I was in the Summer of Beasley, but I won't have the energy to rant, I will have lost hope.

The Golden State Warriors have extended a qualifying offer to forward Jordan Bell, making him a restricted free agent, league sources tell ⁦‪@TheAthleticNBA‬⁩ ⁦‪@Stadium‬⁩.

 

[thephoenixson28]

It's not happening - you should start getting prepared to be disappointed.

Oh I know this probably has the least chance of happening

Darren Collison is retiring at 31 so that is a name off the list.

I think this where the Suns are.

They have a golden opportunity to take a step forward and it shouldn't be that hard to do.

Here is what I think is happening. DLo is trying to decide what to do right now. He is going to have offers on the table from the Lakers and Suns. There is video of him in high school saying his fantasy was to play with MJ, Lebron, and AD. He has two of those three sitting in front of him right now. He also has his friend really working him to come to Phoenix. Last, there is the faint possibility that the Nets could match an offer that he gets.
