I'm sure he didn't expect that type of reaction from Cleveland or he wouldn't have done it that way. His free agency in 2010 was the most talked about day for 2 years before he even became a free agent. So he went big. I'm a suns fan I would live Bron in phx, but be real. Wade is his best friend. Miami is his new home and he loves it here.

As much as I'd hate to see Dragic go, If he does I think we gotta bring Bogdan's ass over here with the quickness.

I don't think we can bring him for at least 2 years

So I just asked my most reliable source Nick, my German shepherd on if LeBron's coming to Phoenix or not. 1 bark for yes he is, 2 barks for no he isn't.

.....


Nick barked 3 times :o

It just better not be Dragic for Rondo or I will :banghead:

I don't fear that McD will do foolish things. If he does something, and I think it's foolish, I plan to check myself. No worries!

LeBron and Hibbert will be our max cats. We trade Goran for Rondo somehow.

Bledsoe
Rondo
Hibbert
LeBron
Tucker

The sickest defensive starting 5 in recent memory. Only need to score 90 ppg since they will hold opposing teams to 82 ppg.

Your welcome! :lol:

letsgosuns wrote:No I am including the cap holds, especially with Frye no longer having a cap hold on the team. His was almost 10 million. Look at this quote from the Yahoo article last week: "The Suns have $33.5 million in salary-cap space and could shed the next $10 million needed to sign James and Anthony to maximum contracts without unloading the young core of guards Eric Bledsoe and Goran Dragic and center Miles Plumlee that pushed the franchise to 48 victories in the Western Conference last season."

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/suns-to-pu ... 46302.html


I wasn't including Frye's cap-hold just adding up salary...

Love - 15.7
Bledsoe - 6.6
Len - 3.6
Green - 3.5
Warren - 1.7
Ennis - 1.3
Plumlee - 1.2
Tucker - 1.2
Goodwin - 1.1
Beasley - 0.78

36 mil + LBJ (21m) = 57m

The Suns would have to dump Len or Green so I guess it would be possible if Pau were willing to start around 8-9m...

With Love and Lebron at the forward spots, the priority is interior D over post offense, IMO. Stick with Plumlee and Len.

This is pretty much how I feel: if you think they're making everything up and just taking us for a ride, then just let them take us for a ride. You don't have to come along.

Even if what they say turns out to be fantasy, it's still entertaining.

Hell, that's why most people play the lottery.

If you expect Hibbert to start we have to run a completely different offensive system. That guy is as stiff as they get hence why they had to bench him in the playoffs.

Why would we take on Hibbert? 10/6 for what he is getting paid? :banghead:

We're not that bad, are we? I like to think we're a bit more realistic with our proposed deals.

Are you kidding me? That's actually trending over there?
