D-Will's problem is he's super unmotivated and spends most of his free time partying. There are games he's had as a pro that make you think he's going to break out, but then promptly puts up a bagel the following game.

At the right price, I'd take him as a rotation guy, but he's probably seeking a contract worth more than his actually value.
Wow. Sort of a Beasley.

I hope this is not our big splash in FA. It would be more like a belly flop.....AGAIN.

Well since it hasn't even started, it is safe to say it will not be.

AGAIN? Last year the Suns did OK in free agency, considering what was available.

Alex Kennedy is a hack. I deleted him from twitter a while back, because he just makes **** up. If he reports something, he's either parroting what a legitimate beat writer already reported or is just speculating. He and Steve Kyler at Basketball Insiders are horrible twitter ****** that incessantly post nonsense or repeat others. Just about every national insider is garbage who is simply retweeting Wojnarowski or blatantly plagiarizing him pretending like their sources tell them the same thing.

Huh? I think I was referring to if it happens. Not referring to tonight specifically. AGAIN as in the last two times the Suns anticipated making a huge splash and didn't.

Dragic just got 5 years 90 million from the Heat per Woj.

Exactly when was this to have happened? When exactly once, let alone twice did the Suns anticipate making a huge splash in F.A.?

What a joke! Thank you for being a prima donna Dragic! You saved the Suns from themselves AND fetched them some good looking draft picks as the cherry on top! Couldn't have worked out better!

Whoa. My man @Chris_Broussard just reported Orlando has offered Paul Millsap four-year, $80 mil max to give Hawks something to worry about

No thank you!

With Milsap worth ~$20mil per season and Dragic $18mil, the $14 mil we're paying Bledsoe and eventually Knight sounds like a bargain.

Very true.

There may be some very good leftovers after the first wave of signings.

Wow he is 29 and for a 5 year deal @90million. Good for him. I liked him as a player for the Suns, but no thanks to that deal.

I wonder what happens to Wade now. That team will be stuck with what they got for years.

No one really knows if that's an overpay until we see him play with a p'n'r specialist ie Bosh, then we'll see how much of a boneheaded move letting go of Frye was / if the 'dragic year' was a fluke or not.
