2019 Free Agency

[Mainstreet]

I do not believe the part about giving up draft picks. As good as Westbrook's numbers are, his reputation is well known. His salary is high. I think OKC might have to include picks to dump his salary--and I do not think the Suns will get him.

The Knicks would be the place I think.

I know the Suns want another star but I don't think Westbrook is it. He is too ball dominant.

You may be right about the Knicks.

Westbrook really doesn’t fit anything the Suns need right now both in terms of his game, or where he’s at age wise. He’s 31 and didn’t look the same last year from an athletic standpoint. Once that starts leaving him, he will decline quickly. And that contract...eek.

Cousins is a poor fit because he doesn’t play defense anymore. They must be planning on AD taking some load management days.

His outside shooting is worse than Rubio. He is also very inefficient.

Lakers still not learning from past mistakes. They need SHOOTERS.

Evan Sidery nailed this comparison.

At this pace, their whole team will be done by today.

While Suns fans wait. Ugh.

Well the moratorium is up. Hoping to see some Oubre news today. Ugh.

Soon. Unless there's another deal with Oubre. Like Kawhi and Paul George last night announced at the same time. It took time to get that Paul George part worked out. So I am thinking Kawhi made up his mind faster than we thought.

If Westbrook becomes available in December, the Suns need to at least kick the tires. For all of the talk on this board about D'Angelo Russell, Westbrook is the super-charged, proven version of what Russell might someday become.

Westbrook has two years left on his current deal, so he wouldn't interfere with an extension for Ayton.

The deal would be something like TJohnson, Bridges, Saric, and picks. Whether that's enough would depend on who else is interested and how committed the Thunder are to avoid losing him for nothing. If both Westbrook and Oklahoma City are convinced that they need to move on from each other, they would be better off not waiting until 2020-21.

Just looking at the nuts and bolts. A resigned Oubre (15) plus Tyler, plus maybe Korver could work.

I do not see a Rubio, Booker, Westbrook combo as workable and Westbrook's deal is $38 million and more for the next four years. They will probably have to include incentives to move him.

No way. Westbrook will bring a nice cache of assets.

And James Jones is bringing in shooters, arguably. Just saying....

Again no way Westbrook has negative value at present.

But agree with knicks as landing spot.

I just don’t see it man. I am a Westbrook fan, but I think it’d be a bit desperate to pick up a 31 year Westbrook who’s constantly fighting injury and looks to be starting a decline with a huge contract. I don’t see him meshing with Booker. Both KD and PG wanted away from him.

Summer league here we come.

Shocker.

 

[Carolinacacti]

Let's not jump to conclusions here. We play the Lakers/Clippers/Warriors a grand total of 12 times in an 82-game season. And surprisingly enough, we tend to play better against good teams than we do against bad ones.

And you know they will rest players against the Suns. Hopefully Booker is the good Booker this year all year.
