Blake Griffin is a bum!

[Folster]

Never liked the guy!

Might end up being the best deal the Suns never made.

Blake Griffin has indeed agreed to return to the Clippers on a five-year, $175 million deal. Talk about short order...

But...as a free agent...why not?

That's why not...buh bye Blake!

Thanks Blake for two days of meaningless mental masturbation.

 

[NashDishesDimes]

Geez, totally used Suns as a little leverage to get clipps to pay up

 

[Cheesebeef]

Good. Stay the course!

How long is the course again? I feel like we've been on it for a loooong time.

We've actually been on it for like a year lol

I know, I hate when people say suns have been tanking for 7 years, they picked warren and booker with 14 and 13 picks because they barely missed the playofffs, including a 48 win season.

They only started really tanking last year when bledsoe got hurt in january.

This course started with Booker.

It's alright to officially dislike Griffin again.

I'm starting to warm up to Millsap.

Until it turns into Millsap instead.

Why?

From the Suns perspective getting Milsap literally makes ZERO sense. He won't be able to put us in the playoffs, he'll cost a lot and he'll take playing time away from our young talent.

In what way shape or form does signing him make any more sense than signing Warrick/Turkoglu. We do this and it's apparent to me that Sarver has learned ZERO lessons and we're going to be a joke forever.

As you can see by the smilie I was joking but Paul Millsap does have a brother playing for the Suns.

The Suns do like uniting families.

Maybe the Suns pay Millsap instead of Len?

Also I'm wondering if the Suns could use Knight in a sign and trade with the Hawks for Millsap.

Considering, this would not be a bad trade.

Yeah, I was trying to be objective debating Blake but I got nothin.

Knight for Millsap, make it happen.

However, I'm not totally sure if it can be done.

That's a bit extreme, millsap would be terrible but hard to say it means we ll be a joke going forward. Sarver, as big an idiot as he is, did tank brilliantly the last two years and strongly built up up our young assets.... but

I'll be lying if I'm not worried he'll do something dumb and trade some of the. But so far, so good the last couple years. Besides philly, and healthy milwaukee i'll take our young stockpile over anyone else.

It's a bad trade regardless because it stunts the growth of our youngest power players.

Do you really want to see Chandler/Milsap as our starters next year? That accomplishes NOTHING but winning a couple more games.

It's idiotic to even bring him in. His own team isn't going to overpay for him because he doesn't do anything to move the needle there. WTF would we do the same thing?

(Main... this is mostly geared for our FO, not you. I just see absolutely ZERO upside to this move and all downside).

The upside is the Suns move Knight without giving up assets for a player (Millsap) that would actually contribute.

However, Millsap would have to be accepting of the role of developing the younger players.

All he would contribute would be being another MASSIVE contract on the books who will take much needed playing time away from guys who should be the future.

They're not going to sign someone to a massive contract to play the role of "developing other players". That's not realistic thinking, IMO.

 

[Folster]

Yeah. Millsap is not the guy. Let's keep our capspace, develop our young guys, and wait for the next opportunity.

It would be mostly about moving Knight's contract. I agree, it's hard to see how it works right now.

I'm not sure how much it would take to sign Millsap though. Maybe a short term contract makes it workable?
