I hope the Suns can make a trade for better players. It’s go time McDonough.

There are several flaws with the whole "wait til next year" perspective. First, next year's class isn't *that* much more impressive, especially when you consider the $$$ players will be looking for and the likelihood that their current teams will try to re-sign them. Second, most of the league will have cap space, increasing competition and increasing the cost of free agents. Third, what we've heard is that Devin wants to sign that max extension this summer rather than next, which greatly decreases the amount of space we'll have available. Fourth, everyone in this organization wants to compete ASAP, and further moves to delay our progress (like taking on a bad contract for another draft pick) will not be looked upon favorably by just about anyone. Fifth, if you do manage to get competitive this season, we'll have trade assets available to trade for significant new additions, and players will finally want to come here. Sixth, any four-year deal you sign next season (which is the likelihood for any decent FA, given the competition we'll face) will extend into the Ayton/Bridges first max year, at which time we can reasonably expect to have four max contracts on the books, before we include whatever FA acquisition we would make next season: not a problem for a contract we sign this offseason.
Phew! Guess that's more than a few. All these factors considered, I expect us to use this year's cap space.
)) there are euroleague players as well... not one mentioned here... Anthony Randolf just parted with real madrid, and he was led by igor in slovenian national team
