Booker or Knight
Tucker
Dudley
Chandler or Len

either way, our starting lineup looks like it's gonna be 4-out

I still think they will sign a more true PF. Dudley at PF with only Bender and Chriss behind him? That's a little thin. We can't go big at all unless we are playing a rookie or twin towers. I still think Leuer might be signed and a more far fetched one in Williams. Leuer makes more sense now for value sake.

Would be really cool to see all our young guys coming of the bench together this year.

Click on that tweet and look at the responses....one from TASTIC with four guys getting a pic with Dudley. I'm guessing they are all guys on our forum, but I don't know who's who.

.....and Dudley himself re-tweeted me.

Fully guaranteed deal.

it would be fun and kind of horrifying because I imagine they wouldn't be very good, but the sheer excitement of having them all out together at once would outweigh the horrifyingness

Ulis
Booker
Warren
Chriss or Bender
Len

that would be something

The PF spot is set if Len will continue to get minutes there.

I know people are eager to move Tucker but I like having him on the team...great on-court example of what it means to give it your all

plus his contract looks like a steal right now

I have a hard time imagining Dudley starting at power forward and guarding guys like Aldridge, Griffin, P. Gasol, Randolph, Nowitzki, and whoever else. Dudley's true position is small forward. I would much rather him start at small forward and the Suns acquire a veteran power forward for one year while Bender and Chriss develop. Honestly, I would start Bender or Chriss immediately but it sounds like the Suns do not want to do that. So the guy I am looking at is Taj Gibson. He is only signed for one year. He can come in and start for just the 2016-17 season and then the Suns can let him go. Idk what the Suns would give up for him but I would trade Knight for Gibson.

Sign David West or Amare for cheap and call it a summer.

Yeah, I guess it'll be a tough road but they'll get a really nice chance to start bonding as a group for our future.

Mulhollanddrive · Post #1793 » by **Mulhollanddrive** » Sat Jul 2, 2016 3:19 am

If Tucker and Warren are our SF, it wouldn't make sense to pay 30m for a squad player.

Be interesting to see what McDonough says about whether he's our starting PF.

Mulhollanddrive · Post #1794 » by **Mulhollanddrive** » Sat Jul 2, 2016 3:23 am

Bazemore $17.5m per year / 4 years to Atlanta.

blacksun · Post #1795 » by **blacksun** » Sat Jul 2, 2016 3:25 am

No reason to sign Leuer now. Dudley is definitely gonna play the 4 next season. $30M is quite a bit more than what i wanted but i guess it comes with the veteran tax like Chandler last year. Sign Price, pick up Jenkins and call it an offseason.

I just looked at twitter and watched it, and surprisingly, even though I just saw it posted here a few times, I had NEVER seen that. Good stuff. Spicoli, Miyagi, Norris, and all the Suns players comments were great. I'm surprised I didn't see that when it was made or I just don't remember it.

Yeah, I'll be surprised if we start the season with him at PF. I mean in the east it might be different, but in the west you are dealing with all the guys you named. Tucker actually makes more sense on those guys defensively at PF. I think they can work together ok if they are both still here, but with those two as our only vet PFs? And they are not really PFs? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

I'm glad they signed him though simply because I think he will make it a lot more fun for the rookies and everyone. No one on our team had much personality, but he will bring it out in everyone...it seems like most of them love playing for the Suns, but I think he will add a new dimension to that.

Oh, WOW, if we get him, we suddenly ARE a playoff contender. I know most are not as high on him as I am, but he is easily one of the all around best PFs in the league. He can do everything. If we add him, that changes the whole deal.

there is on way it's just picks though. Would have to be a three team deal or somebody else is packaged. Maybe Knight and tucker?

Which free agent(s) would you most like to go for? One or top two choices
