Suns @ Trail Blazers Thursday game thread 3-11-2021

you know what your right. I’m sure the Suns just made it up to fool everyone, but you are clearly to smart for all of this.

because being in great shape mentally and physically often prevents players from getting injured. Just look at guys like Klay, Steph, KD all horribly out of shape when they got hurt.

This isn't about being smarter than anyone. Its common sense. Instead of saying you misspoke or are sharing fluff info you got from somewhere else, you want to try and turn this into an argument between you and I. That's childish.

When a player has suffered numerous ankle injuries over the last 4 months and battled Covid within the last 2 months, all of which caused him to miss more games than the previous 4 years combined, it doesn't make sense to claim they're in the best shape of their career, especially how you worded it by stating "he's by far in the best shape of his career". You never tried distinguishing whether you meant physical or mental shape until I pointed out how it doesn't make sense based on how many games he's missed so far.

There's a chance we'll lose any player when their contract comes up, I don't get the "due to the cap" part though. Won't we have the right to go over the cap to sign any of those guys? Meaning, it won't be forced on us because of the cap, it will be a choice made by the Suns and the players.

Yes - except we are very close to luxury tax - and I don't believe for a second sarver is willing to pay it.

 

[Mainstreet]

Only my opinion, but I think Sarver will be willing to pay close to the luxury tax at least for the two year window Chris Paul is under contract.

I thought that, and said it several times, prior to the Paul trade. But the Paul trade changed my thinking. I just can't see him taking that kind of money onto the payroll unless he was willing to spend. Winning costs money but it pays big too, hopefully he's committed to making money as a winning team.

The Suns made a fluff piece about Dario to kill time during a game. YOU are the one who came here talking about how he's in the best shape.of his career, by far. This about what you said. Quit trying to pass your bad take onto someone else.

So your saying he’s not in great shape and hasn’t changed his diet and workout routine and it was all just made up by Suns PR?

riiiiiiight.
