A lot of money tied up between two PF's.

I'm assuming he hasn't actually been inked to that deal quite yet, just agreed upon so we can sign other FA's first.

Well, no one can sign until July 9th(?) when the moratorium ends.

80m between four guys: Irving, LeBron, Love and Thompson

I actually think they will keep Bledsoe if they get Aldridge. That is a selling point. Aldridge with Len, Bledsoe, Knight, and Tucker or Warren at SF. Granted, if you get Aldridge, a trade has to be made to get under the cap. You bring in a back up center and point guard.

What do we need to do to get under the cap enough to make an offer for LA

Well, if you sign Aldridge - does he want PJ Tucker here?

But I think if you bring in Aldridge and need to get enough to max cap - that's about 8m - so that means at least Markieff Morris.

I have said it all along - that Haywood contract makes sense for the Suns and adding the Morris twins makes sense for the Cavs bench. Marion, James JOnes, Mike Miller - they didn't score enough. The Morris brothers - that's a perfect role for them - just score the ball off the bench, no pressure. That would be my best guess as to how the Suns create the cap space.

Whoah. That's out of the blue, and likely planned all along.

There's no way McDonough pulls this off... right?

Makes no mention of PJ Tucker
as lets face it - if you get LMA - you are dumping PJ and the Morris twins

I think this means Brandon Wright is gone. Which is okay as Tyson Chandler, have wanted this guy for 5 years or more. 2010 - they win the title dammit if Sarver doesn't take the 18m saved from Ben Wallace but trades Wallace for Tyson as was reported as part of the Shaq to Cleveland. They would have won the bleeping title

What a ballsy, unique, and quite possibly BRILLIANT approach to bring Tyson into the LMA meeting. Let Tyson do the talking on why he just decided to choose Phoenix literally minutes/hours before this meeting.

Brillian McD. Just brilliant. Sign Tyson and keep it quiet until the moment you walk into the room with Alderidge. Place maybe the most ideal C in the league for him to play along side of, the utlimate role player, and let him talk.

Our chances are still small, but they just went up.
