Suns Off-season Thread

[Proximo]

I think San Antonio is the obvious third team.

They just got picks they could trade, and they have cap space.

Ayton signs offer sheet, and this is all over.

We're gonna get the football pulled again eh?

 

[Cheesebeef]

Yeah, I could maybe see them liking Jalen Brown, but is KD willing to go to Boston?

Why wouldn’t he be? They were two games away from winning a title. Does he have bad blood with anyone over there?

I am swinging back and forth between bursting with hope and settling into the depths of despair.

Yep that could sabotage the entire thing.

P.S. YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH TOO! LOL.

I don't think thats true, pretty sure we can match immediately - unless there is a restriction on trading him then.

Gambo on air acting like Tim freaking Perry and Andrew lang are equivalent to Mikal and Cam Johnson.

BS!!!!

Tim Perry was not even an NBA caliber player, and Andrew Lang was a fringe starter at best.

This makes the late pre-Barkley Suns look even better. They started a fringe starter and a player who didn't belong in the NBA, and they still won 53 games and reached the semifinals? It sounds like how the 2010 Suns started Jarron Collins in the playoffs and still took the Lakers to 6 games in the WCF. It made my jaw drop that they got away with starting a third-string center in a deep playoff run. It was like starting four players!

Stuff like that is why past Suns teams impress me more than Chris Paul's team.

I'm talking about any KD scenario...

 

[Folster]

I can't handle these child drowning commercials on 98.7. Absolutely heart wrenching.

 

[Covert Rain]

The NY radio guys, at least one of the hosts isn't buying the Nets don't want Ayton. They think this is typical beginning negotiations to see what they can pry out of the Suns. The other guys think the Nets might be after other young players and picks.

Suns match and they can't trade him until December and he will be able to veto any trade for the first year(except for the team he signed with which cannot acquire him until 1 year after the offer sheet was signed).

No, those 2 guys along with Hornecek is what we traded to get Barkley.

However, Oliver miller / mark west were basically also fringe starters.

Hmm, well that's not good.

Hope Ayton isn't in the mood to screw us.

 

[Raindog]

Yeah, it's all posturing. There likely isn't any offer they are going to get that includes anyone better than Ayton.

 

[1tinsoldier]

so if Ayton gets an offer and we can't trade him if we match,
should we sign Ayton to the max first -- so we can trade him?

the clock is on Jones to make the right move!

Well - New orleans could offer Ingram and Zion concievably.

That would be a sign and trade. The Suns are not going to do that without a deal to trade him because they don't want to pay the max. It could be the Nets don't want to pay him max either. When you can trade him also changes on a regular deal.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Well - New orleans could offer Ingram and Zion concievably.

That doesn’t leave KD with a title contending team.

 

[Raindog]

Well - New orleans could offer Ingram and Zion concievably.

But I don't see that as being likely at all. And I can't imagine Durant wanting to go there in any case.

Unless it is a sign and trade he cannot be traded until December, whether it's from the Suns matching an offer sheet or signing him outright.

Durant seems to have narrowed his list to Miami and Phoenix. KD is not going to NO.

 

[Proximo]

Eh, I don't know.

They pushed the suns without zion, and Durant is a big upgrade to Ingrahm. They also have some good 2nd year players.

Even when it sounds like it makes sense? Superstars go where they want to go. NO hasn't even been mentioned anywhere.
