2021 NBA Free Agency and Trades

sign Dieng and Adam Silver can just hand us the Championship trophy now. I really wanted to get him on late last season on the buyout market. I wanted to take him #5 instead of Alex Len. I love to get McGee and him. Sorry to see Craig go to Indiana. I was hoping we could bring him back.

I hope Doug McDermott talk is just that.

it was. he signed with the Spurs.

I think we are trying to get something bigger than an mle player. Siakam???

More likely that bigs are scared off by the apparent desire of James Jones and Monty to play wings at the power positions.

With Portis, Olynyk & Noel off the board it's down to Gieng, McGee, Whiteside or Kanter for big men depth.

I really like Kanter but I think he stays in Portland.

 

[Mainstreet]

it's really weird to watch some big men FA go by and not hear about the Suns signing them or using the MLE immediately... and still being extremely confident that James Jones will get something positive done in FA to improve the team moving forward.

what a freaking difference a couple years make.

Jae Crowder was signed day two. The Suns are hopefully waiting for bargains to fill a deep roster.

and they also probably think Jones and Monty have cooties too!

lol come on man. Relax.

With Portis, Olynyk & Noel off the board it's down to Gieng, McGee, Whiteside or Kanter for big men depth.

At this point, the Suns need to overpay for Dieng, Whiteside or McGee. They are the only legitimate bigs left on the table. Kanter can't defend.

What other explanation is there for bigs the Suns need signing with lesser teams for half of what the Suns are offering?

Zeller is still an option.

Zeller is still an option.

He can't defend, either.

Zeller is still an option.

He is a Monty type of player.

 

[Mainstreet]

It's only day one of free agency and it's a lot more exciting than the draft.

 

[Finito]

Can’t wait to watch The Jump and Shannon Sharpe lose it and tell me how big Trevor Ariza and Dwight Howard signings are for the Lakers

I would have taken him here at this point. It's baffling that the Suns are clearly the contending team most in need of a big, and yet they can't even beat out the likes of the Pistons, Knicks, Spurs, etc. for one, even at twice the price.

It’s been rumored Pacers want to move Myles Turner. He makes $17.5/yr. is there a package we could be looking to create for him?

 

[jlove]

Zeller is still an option.

I would be happy to get McGee and Zeller. McGee can play the 5 and Zeller can play the 4 and 5.

 

[Matt L]

I really like Collins but his foot injuries are pretty scary for a big guy

 

[Folster]

Ellington is a great signing for the Lakers. They need shooting bad!

 

[Finito]

I would be happy to get McGee and Zeller. McGee can play the 5 and Zeller can play the 4 and 5.

that would be great

 

[1Sun]

He is a Monty type of player.

You mean yet another big who plays below the rim and can't defend?

I don't want Howard around Ayton.

Saric, Crowder and maybe Jalen. Myles would be a great 4 for us.

I would be happy to get McGee and Zeller. McGee can play the 5 and Zeller can play the 4 and 5.

At this point, so would I, and I am not a fan of either. The problem is that it is looking more and more like that we will be spending the MLE on the likes of Frank Kaminsky and giving Jalen Smith significant playing time.

I love that CP3 and Payne are back, but losing Saric and Torrey Craig and gaining only Landry Shamet is a major step backwards, in my opinion.
