patience is a virtue

Oh Suns why do you do this to me.

We are moving right along with the rebuilding process and by all accounts it's going great. Devin Booker is 20 and looks like a legit star, draft Bender, pull off a great trade for Chriss and steal Ulis in the second round, Suns do nothing and Josh Jackson falls in our lap.

Booker, Jackson 20
Bender, Chriss 19

Why on earth would you even consider giving big money to guys like Blake and Milsap. Let's just stunt the growth of our young super athletic power forward with a broken used to be Athletic power forward who's never made it out the second round.

Let's just stay the course please Suns.

This article does a pretty nice job of summarizing both sides of this argument.

How does it "stun the growth?"

As long as it is a free agent signing, and not giving up the young assets, i'm ok.

Moving any young assets will make me sick... i worry after signing blake, sarver then trades some young assets for paul george

That's where I stand as well. I think Blake would HELP the youngsters develop faster by winning now. That said, I would not have any interest if we are trading away the youngsters.

Youngsters develop with minutes, IMO. And learning to win together.

Really wish we'd just stay the course here. I don't want Chriss on the bench next year. He was super raw but developing as a starter in the second half of the season. Putting him on the bench to learn makes very little sense to me. And with Griffin and Chandler AND Chriss in front of him, Bender will never see meaningful minutes to develop.

And beyond all that... I think Griffin maybe gets us to the 6 seed... if he can stay healthy... which he's shown repeatedly he can't.

I also worry about Griffin from a leadership standpoint. He's a baby who shrinks when the chips are down. That's the last guy I want the young guys learning from.

Blake would take a lot of minutes from Chriss and Bender.

Onward to Paul Millsap if Folster's tweet is correct?

Oh well. I guess it was just another power play. Isn't it about 9 times out of 10 that free agents sign with their original team?

 

[hsandhu]

Hell no to millsap, healthy blake is still a top 15 player, why I was in favor.

Concentrate on moving knight, signing williams..... and wait for market to determine what len is worth. Stay the 2020 course

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

Seems like more often than not these decisions are dictated by people not in the Suns organization. LMA, Blake Griffin.............

For the LOVE OF GOD...

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I'd just as soon if the Suns could be a facilitator and pick up assets but teams seem to be doing nicely on their own for the most part.

Many asking so I'll answer - Yes the Suns meeting with free agent Paul Milsap is still on.
