Per Gambo, it appears the Suns do not have interest in Kemba Walker.

He’s beyond done.

Why not bring him in? We couldn't use a guy who could put 10 in and dish 4.5+ assists per game coming off the bench?? Isn't that what he averaged even after all that he has gone through? Maybe he is done but I think it's low risk. We are bringing in "bench" type guys anyway. To me it's worth it to see if he can still play.

 

[Cheesebeef]

The Suns are dumb then. We couldn't use a guy who could put 10 in and dish 4.5+ assists per game coming off the bench??

Dude, he is BEYOND washed.

Dude, he is BEYOND washed.

Walker played in 37 games during the 2021-22 season for the averaging 11.6 points and 3.5 assists per game. I realized he struggled but you don't think in spot minutes we could use those numbers off the bench as a possible 3rd guard? Not saying he should be our primary backup. He is definitely no longer a starter in this league for sure. I have not watched him play so I don't know. As desperate as this team appears to be for a backup guards I think they should at least explore it.

agreed. We would benefit more from a young hungry and healthy pg.

He is 100% unreliable.

Odds he would be available and useful in the playoffs are virtually a zero.

Would far far rather give minutes to Washington.

The Rockets plan to waive Derrick Favors.

The career of Ty Jerome continues with the Warriors, but this time on a two-way contract. I guess three year veteran players qualify.

Jordan Poole gets a 4 year/ $140 million extension with the Warriors.

Glad Poole got is bread. There’s zero chance Draymond is a Warrior after this season and the same probably goes for Klay in two years. Wiggins is probably the priority now.

 

[Mainstreet]

So Jordan Poole gets his pool money, perhaps from money that might have gone to Draymond Green.

 

[Mainstreet]

A familiar face, Ty-Shon Alexander, signs with the Hornets.

I would think point guard Devin Cannaday (26) will get picked up by another team.

I’ve said from jump that Ayton contract is going to look like a bargain soon

I'm already getting sticker shock. Ayton's contract is already looking like a bargain.

I hope the Suns new owner has deep pockets and willing to spend the money to improve the team.

The Mavericks are stocking up on point guards.

McKinley Wright IV was on the Suns summer league team.

The Suns had Justin Jackson on their roster last season. He will be on the Celtics roster.

Better prospect than Lebron and it’s not even a hot take anymore.

God I hate the Warriors
I like Favors

Andrew Wiggins of the Warriors gets a big paycheck as well, a 4 year/ $109 million extension.
