Conley really refresed last season but is still a Top 10 PG but at his prime he was a legit floor general and the best defender at his position (CP3 was always an shoo in for first team undeservedly), but he became so criminally underrated he is the opposite now. Memphis plays an old school slow paced game wher he has to feed ZBo/Gasol in the post and takes a lot of time off the clock and less possesions. He far outperformed his peripherals, he was basically Dame tier but now not much better than Bledsoe

Not that he'd sign with us, but I'm sure McD has interest.



Better watch how you phrase that, BW will call you out. :wink:

Pacers look good.

They have a lineup I was hoping Suns can follow.. Basically Jefferson will get single coverage and open space to operate inside because he is surrounded by shooters and slashers...

Hence I still would like Okafor. Which means develop Len as a hybrid PF/C similar to Mason Plumlee role.

I can imagine what the media would have said about Len if his Feb/March run was for OKC. Last's year's per was 14 and 12....LOL! And some of you guys are griping about his shooting percentage.....put him on the line with a Hack a' Len and watch him shoot 73%.

Adams, Gobert, TT, and the rest of those "studs" are offensive bums who can't be trusted to be on the court in close games because they can't shoot FT's, pathetic, and that neutralizes their defense when it matters most.

If we told Len to just run around and play D and reb he'd be just as good as those guys, but we told him to go be Shaq or Tim D shooting from the elbow, then get pissed when he isn't and envy guys who shoot well because of dunks and put backs....


Stop making sense JMac, you'll only confuse the complainers. They need easy numbers to compare--42% FG% does not equal 55% FG%--nevermind that the guy that shot 55% shot 80% of his shots from within 10 ft, and the 42% FG% player shot 60% of his shots outside of 10ft, and while his FT% is 75%, the other guy's FT% is 60%.

If Dudley wants more than 18 million for 2 years, I would not come close to signing him. The Suns already have a full roster. Who is Dudley an upgrade over? You cannot sign a guy for big money just because he is a good locker room presence. The Suns harped on Chandler being such a great locker room presence and look at all the good that did. Talent wins games, not mediocre players that happen to be good guys in the locker room.

I've been told Dudley definitely wants more than two years.

Barnes will re sign with Warriors for a 4 year 80 million contract now IMO. After seeing Turner's new contract... Warriors have no reason to offer less.

Does Hayward come close to $200m with the rising cap?

That's it, I'm making a YouTube mix tape showing me draining 3s. I feel like I can contribute half of Dellavedova's production. $19M/4 years here I come!
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

We can only offer 4 years so I think it'd be closer to 120 for 4

I hear they're high on European players who can make threes. That's pretty much all I can still do being almost 40yo and with more than 2% body fat :-) I'll be happy with $2M per, a true bargain these days. GMs, feel free to PM me, it's gonna be short negotiations.

Gambo might be right about this because he probably talked to Dudley

The thing about saving for Hayward - seems like more fake Gambo nonsense

He has been really wrong on free agency lately

As for the Suns - they are playing it smart. No reason to give out big money

The Grizzlies gave Conley and Parsons - 240m - that's stupid

If he re-ups with Utah, he'd likely get more than 5/150. 170? 180? With the cap rising from 94 to 110+.
