2019-20’:

Knight - 15.6
Warren - 11
Ayton - 8~ish (based on Fultz)
Jackson - 7
Bender - 5.8
Chriss - 4
Bridges - 3.6 (based on last year’s #10)
Reed - 1.6
Okobo - ?

———

Roughly 57 mil added up not including Booker... Obviously Warren, Chriss, Reed might not be here and Knight could be stretched.

So if the Suns do not trade for a PG do they start Okobo. Somebody needs to get the ball to Ayton, Jackson, Bridges and Booker among others.

Maybe McDonough is sold on Knight?

It's like deja vu all over again.

Surprised that Houston kept Gerald Green for that little. $2.4 million is a steal for him, honestly. I know he's had his problems but he seems to have turned himself around. Too bad he hasn't been able to sign any sort of long term deal since his time here in Phoenix. With Houston paying Chris Paul that much though they really don't have the cash to spare for him and staying in a winning situation is probably something he values.

I wonder how Capela's deal will play out. I'm glad we're not throwing max money, or close to max money, at him. Thank the basketball gods for the lottery getting us Ayton.

Sign Ayton and Bridges to their rookie deals, sign Booker to his max waive everyone without guaranteed contracts(aside from JJ, Chriss and Bender), stretch Knight(in 2019 not this year)renounce all rights then just manually add 1.5mil for the deal Okobo signed that is not yet included. Then you can play around with where you think the Suns will pick to decide how much of an impact it will have. That is how I got to 20-30mil.

The projected cap next year is listed 108mil but the last projections I saw were that it should go up to at least 109.

The Suns have lots of mentors in Dudley, Chandler, Ariza and Knight.

Doesn’t matter. Knight will start unless a trade happens. Period. Not sure that’s even a question right now.

I'm glad the Suns did not try to throw a back loaded contract at Van Vleet.

McDonough counted on Knight to be the Suns starting PG when they traded for him. We know how that turned out. What could possibly go wrong now.

The Suns need a PG that can pass the ball to Ayton, Jackson, Bridges and Booker. I'm not seeing that player on the Suns roster at the moment.

Maybe it will go wrong. Doesn’t change the fact that’s how it is right now.

No one is disputing the facts of the situation. The Suns have improved their team this off season but they have a glaring hole at PG.
