Took me a little while to figure out it was locked a new thread started... haha

I like Tucker, he is a scrapper and plays with heaps of effort.
But unless he is willing to accept a low salary, I rather develop Warren.
And Tucker will get paid, I'm thinking 6-7 million a year... And he has NO REASON to take a cheaper salary. This could be his last big long secure contract, the guy deserves it.


If Frye can get 8 million a year for 4 years... Tucker will get paid also.

I'm actually happy for Frye, to cash in while he can. He getting same money as Dragic, kudos to Frye and best of luck (except against the Suns).


Yeah I never thought PJ would get more than 4-5m but after Frye's ridiculous deal anything is possible. If PJ only gets a 3/12-type deal it would be crazy not to match. Even in year 2 when Warren takes over that's still manageable backup $ for PJ.

Ray Ray-
Lebron will hear today the Suns last pitch.. He will then make the his decision. Once the decision is made, you'll see the Suns make multiples moves with it without Lebron.

I'm apologize for not being able to get into specifics, buts that what all I'm being told. Dragic future with the Suns depends on Lebron's decision.

Take it for what it's worth..


Yes, it's widely known the last pitch is today.

Of course the Suns will make multiple moves with or without Lebron

Glittering generalities taken for what they're worth.

I think that the Suns have been used as a pawn in the game. the Suns can offer the most out of anybody so of course the agent will want to keep the Suns engaged and in the picture to leverage the others. Don't think the Suns are a serious possibility unless everything else falls down.

As for Frye, he was the main leader along with PJ so there is a big void there that needs to be filled. By who?

Uhhhh...nope, not widely known that the Suns get a direct pitch to Lebron today. Show me any source that says that.

Basically radio just said they believe The Suns will know by tomorrow what's going on. Just they're opinions.. nothing more.

Just Gambo and Burns discussing LeBron. They think we are def still in it. Reason being is, last week we said we would pitch to his agent and move on after a couple days. They don't think we'd still be waiting if there wasn't a real chance.
He thinks the brass needs to ask the agent, "listen, are we in this or not?". If we're being used to get LeBron leverage elsewhere, then we're wasting our time and need to move on.

That's basically what they just said on radio about lebron.
I hope that isn't the case.

I think it's more likely that LeBron saying yes means Dragic gets dealt for Love or George or someone.

Who knows maybe if they miss out on LeBron they say screw it the west is crazy deep and blow it up for more young players. I know some peeps would freak out but it wouldn't be the worst strategy.

I feel like McD and especially Babby (since he used to be an agent) would know if we were just being used. So hopefully we actually have a legitimate shot.

if this is the case, we have the reasons we need to hate Lebron for the rest of his career. I almost wish he would just come out and say we're out if that's the case.

Well, at least we get one last shot. I for some reason can't see us moving Dragic if we get LeBron. But that would most likely be up to LeBron, so who knows.




My guesstimate

Lebron says yes scenario
1. Dragic, Morris brothers, 2015 wolves pick to Wolves for Love
2. Bledsoe resigned
3. Pau Gasol signed for 3 years 30 million
4. Ray Allen signed for 2 years for LLE
5. Tucker resigned

Lebron says no scenario
1. Deng for 3 years 35 million
2. Tucker signed and traded to either Grizzlies, Pistons
3. Green plus 2015 suns pick for Ryan Anderson
4. Ennis for Terrence Ross

In both scenarios Suns plan to have young players to play heaps of minutes as bench/back ups.
