Danny was offered a better player, looked straight across and said, Two better players, or no deal.

Not wishing injury on anyone, again his career history says otherwise. Check the amount of games he misses in an average season since entering the league and then then correlate that with his age.

I follow the #s not some crazy biased thinking.


He played more games than Ricky Rubio last year. In fact, Ricky Rubio has played in 76% of possible regular season games over his career compared to 83% for Chris Paul, but I don't recall your constant concerns of Ricky and his ankle injuries. Numbers though, right?


Well, most of Rubio's were early in his career. Before this last year, I think Paul averaged like 60 games a year or so the previous 3 years. But maybe that's all behind him.

Pretty sure I mentioned that one fluke season doesn’t change anything.

Suns went 8-0 in the bubble. But I don’t see anyone placing bets on them as favorites for the title next season.

Are we at the point yet where both Baynes and Suns decide he stays?

Well, he was never going back to Miami, but with all the free agents drying up, if we do end up using our MLE, it's a good possibility.

But we may not use our exceptions since we are at the cap and may just plan on filling out the roster with minimums, especially since Sarver is cutting all staff salaries by 20%. May not feel he should unnecessarily spend another $9-$13 million before minimums.

Frank can still come back for the minimum.

I was wondering if Flex was still tweeting out updates every 20 minutes or so with excitement because I hadn't seen any posted here, but then realized the person who usually posted them hasn't been here, so I had to check....and have no fear...

I still wonder about Westbrook for Batum and Zeller - clear a bunch of cap in Houston or maybe they are strategic - granted this Hayward deal seems excessive

Theres still room to find ‘cheap’ players but they’re running out of options for ‘good’ ones lol

I'm going to take a nap so that guarantees the suns sign someone in the next hour or so. You guys jonesing for a move can thank me later.

Also someone better at the cap than me figure out if Baynes can go to Boston in a in a 3way S&T with scary Terry coming back here. There's some weird **** with base year rules that would let the suns take way more back if Baynes signs at a certain amount.

I remember that Scary Terry crap lol. At this point, wouldn't touch any of the C's players with a 10ft pole. Stevens is really pulling some alchemy there, it's ridiculous how much better all of them look in Boston.

Well Zach Lowe said Charlotte has to clear some salary so maybe a sign and trade for like Zeller and who knows what

but yes, Turner and Doubie Buckets is probably better than what Charlotte will give them
