That would be nice. They could give Baynes 1 year.

We could then use MLE on E'Twaun Moore and get a cheap PG with the BAE. Or spend the MLE on someone like Teague or Jackson, but not sure how much I like them more than the cheaper ones.


You really like E'Twaun Moore dont you?


Of available options, yes. I just like solid 3&D guys and don't like the depth behind Booker much. Carter was our only player to shoot over 40% from 3 last year (unless you count Payne) and Moore did 2 of the last 3 years.

Thats tough, because even if it makes the Suns a little bit better you are then asking Sarver to spend even more, which could be an issue. On top of that you are making a dangerous opponent even more deadly.


Well, of course. I don't expect it to happen because I don't expect Sarver to spend the money or Miami to want Baynes. But they could trade him come Dec 14th too.

Celtic probably sign him though.

McD is a D bag. The irony of that tweet is the players did basically take an 18% pay cut with how the escrow works the next two years. Now that's not to absolve sarver for being a cheap prick who should sell to an actual rich person who will treat the team as a toy.

Thanks Gambo for letting us know you can't use this two years in a row. You'd think you'd use it the year you had Chris Paul for 2 years.

This team is really built around Ayton now. Every second of the game he will be surrounded by 4 shooters even when the bench comes in. No excuses inside now. Paul and Booker will be setting him up in space literally 100% of the time.

God, I would love to wake up some morning and see that Jeff Bezos is interested in tossing 1 or 2 of his 160+ billion $arver's way in order to own this team. I'll give $arver credit though, at least he's not selling draft picks anymore-yet.

like giving us solid 10-15 solid minutes spell out our guards. If Paul is out for any extensive amount of time we are pretty much f***ed.

Okobo can give you better minutes than Crawford at this point. He's a nice guy and can get hot every once in a while but he hasn't been a positive on the for the past 5 years or so. There are probably 10 guys still available who you could sign for the vet minimum that would be better.

Can you imagine? Talk about not worrying about the luxury tax, repeater tax, etc.

I love what you guys have done. The Paul trade obviously, but also the Jalen Smith pick (I am high on him) and the Crowder addition. No bad signings so far. James Jones making his case for executive of the year and we are just making our way through the beginnings of free agency.
