Signings, Trades, Rumors including Suns and NBA

[JerkFace]

Weird. I’ve been told over and over again how the Suns first couldn’t and then wouldn’t use a Disabled Player Exception for Dario anyway.

Actually, I recall being mocked multiple times for actually bringing up the idea.

Stupid me to suggest such a thing.

Lol… you were the one outraged that we didn’t file for the exception and I explained the reasons for what it takes to receive the exception. But you were wrong, they did file, which means that when he was evaluated by an outside doctor they deemed that he was progressing slower than an average acl repair, or that he had a setback. I literally was just explaining the rule and you were insistent on twisting the rule into some “the suns aren’t doing their due diligence“ outrage.

Mavs just got Dinwiddie, and still have Brunson.

I don't think Dragic is going there.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Man, what a wild trade deadline this year.

 

[Mainstreet]

Because James Jones didn't think to use it until he read Cheese's posts on here.

Actually this has been discussed before.

 

[Muggz]

I feel so bad that all those fools that got traded are gonna have to learn to get their asses kicked by the Suns on an entirely new team.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

That is an excellent pick up. Tough defender and gritty hard nosed.

I feel like we’ve been chasing a Holiday forever. This move definitely helps. Is it a great move? No. Is it a good tweak that likely doesn’t disrupt our chemistry? Yes. Paired with Craig move, I think we are better today than yesterday.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I like Craig but he’s not what we need especially with Bridges taking the next step on offense

Actually when crowder was out a guy like Craig was definitely needed. This makes sure Ish doesn’t have to see the court.

Agree
I hope we get that "new team" pop to his stats.

 

[Mainstreet]

As I understand it, the Suns still have the partial MLE although they took on Holiday's contract.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I disagree, we need every wing defender we can get our hands on for GS.

Yup. And we just added two in Craig and holiday.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I'm not sure about the Mavericks trade. I guess they really wanted to trade Porzingis.

Wow pennies on the dollar

Yes, I think it is pretty obvious we are better.

Holiday is better than payton, 100%

Craig is much better than Wainright or Nader.

Both can actually be played without wanting them off the floor ASAP, which you can't say about the other 3 this season.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Suns only gave up cash considerations for Holiday. #winning

Nice!

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns could still easily make another move by waiving a player to add a buyout.

As bad as Porzingas has been Bertans is worse - and his contract is longer.

I really think it was a stupid trade. But I'm good with it, keeps a West competitor weak.

 

[Muggz]

So FLEX was right?
Something did happen.

 

[Mainstreet]

Dennis Schroder goes to the Rockets.

Ohh How the mighty have fallen.

LOL.

Nobody wanted the amazing THT or Westbrook?

That was my exact reaction - no one wanted their trash

The buyout market gets overhyped every year. I was listening to a podcast where they were saying PJ Brown in 2008 was the last time a buyout candidate helped a team with a title.

Saric wasn't traded because the Suns applied for the Disabled Player Exception.

I can’t recall any suns team THIS deep. I know we said that earlier this season, but it’s even deeper now. Legit players everywhere except shamet.

Paul/Payne/holiday
Booker/shamet
Bridges/cam johnson
Crowder/craig
Ayton/mcgee/biyombo

That’s 11 legit nba players and . . . shamet.
