just repeating what’s being said

What's been said is that Paul has someone in mind who is going to follow him here, not necessarily that it's Gallo. Looks more and more like it's (gulp) Carmelo. The MLE would actually be a ridiculous overpay for Carmelo, so of course I expect James Jones to do it in a second...

Carmelo is the only player connected to Paul (and also to Booker) who is available and whom the Suns can afford.

if you’re wrong here, will you promise to only post the same thing once a day instead eleventy billion?

But while nowhere near ideal, Gallo can rebound and defend better than both. Plus Cam has the body of a 3, and Saric has the game of a stretch 5.
Cam is probably a better perimeter defender and Saric is a pretty solid interior defender. Gallo is definitely the most complete of the 3 players though, but we likely can't afford him at this point.

We definitely can't afford him at this point. I was just addressing the question of what he would provide that we don't already have.

thers no way Gallo comes here for the MLE.

I bet he is. 1 year deal.

I don’t think you guys realize there is like 3 teams that have more than the MLE to offer and they all suck. Charlotte, New York, and Atlanta.

Gallo won’t be at the top of their lists to spend money on either.

It has to be a sign and trade or he picks a team with an MLE, and we have the advantage there because he is friend with Paul and book.

Flex said on the podcast today we have a deal to trade down in the draft for a vet lined up.

I think he said it was an expiring contract and an interesting name.

I am mentally trying to prepare myself for a Desmond bane pick.

PJ Tucker a possibility as that vet? That would be an interesting name to us.

It also makes sense as Houston seems to be blowing up their roster so PJ could be looking to move on.

Aaron Gordon? Expiring contract and the magic were supposedly looking to move up in the draft.

Have no idea how we'd take on his contract with the Chris Paul trade though

I highly doubt they would trade Gordon just to move up five spots. But I would be happy if you were right.

he said it was a similar move to Dario last year.
