Suns updates and discussion for the 2022-23 season

[GatorAZ]

I already put up the deal


Collins only makes 23 million.

Crowder, Dario and 2 1st would get it done. They get two expiring contracts and picks to put back what they gave up for in the Murray trade

maybe that's because you have no character this season.

But... but... he's snuggly soft.

That's an overpay by the Suns for a guy that the Hawks have been trying to offload for a couple years.

Agreed. Might do trade of a pick and a swap.

I don't think teams can eat salary in NBA / NFL trades like MLB, right? So ATL can't eat some of Collins' contract in deal?

Collins started off season with a bang but has really regressed the last couple of weeks.

I'm thinking Cam Johnson should have taken the 4 years/ $66 million extension if that was the offer.

See tweet below.

I know it is low (I would have paid him more) but it is more than what Brandon Clarke received who signed for 4 years/ $50 million.

Props to the kid for betting on himself.
A bird in the hand and all that rot.
Sux for Cam

CJ will get paid for than that on the open market once he's a rfa. FO shooting themselves in the foot on this one.

I hope Cam Johnson does get paid.

As much as James Jones likes him, I have to wonder if this is more of an ownership matter.

That’s a ridiculous insult for one of the best 3 point shooters in the NBA.

I don't agree. You have to love his attitude, his effort and his potential. But IMO he's shown two things to be true; he can make the open 3 and he misses a lot of time. And all those little injuries were coming in limited bench minutes, who knows what would happen once he was elevated to a starting role? And those injuries and missed time didn't just start once he reached the NBA. Frankly I'm surprised we offered more than 60M.

I have zero faith that Eric Gordon can stay healthy. Dude makes Anthony Davis look like AC Green.

I’m going to push back on this a little bit. He’s a fantastic 3 point shooter who has an otherwise average offensive game, is not a good defender, is a subpar rebounder and after this latest injury will have likely averaged missing over 25 games per season (his lowest number of missed games will be 12 in a shortened season). He’s never even averaged 13 points per game until this season and he only did it for 8 games. And he’s had injury problems dating back to college and I believe high school. No matter how much you like cam - and I like cam - you just can’t throw big $$$ at him.

There are so many made up rumors out there. Crowder ending up on the Bucks seemed to make some sense.

I asked Cam Payne about how his former 94 Feet backcourt mate Jae Crowder has been playing: “Wooooo! He hoopin’! He hoopin’! I’m happy for him. I’m glad he getting the opportunity.”

Yeah there were too many times we let someone just walk down the lane without a single defender for a dunk. In a one point loss you look at those breakdowns and say, WTF?!? And many of these guys have been playing together in this system for a long time. That stuff shouldn’t happen. Only saw it once with jazz and they’re virtually all new teammates. We did it like 4 times.

I agree with most of this, but I'd say he is a +defender. He isn't going to win any defensive awards but he's not been anyone we need to cover for on the defensive end. And being a great 3 point shooter and solid defender is something that gets paid a lot of money.

I think it depends who he’s guarding. He gets run over by stronger players. As a wing he’s a pretty good defender, that’s true.
