Anyway, we don't have a lot of cap space left once we sign him before the tax.

Suns: Damian Jones signed a two-year deal with the Suns to be (hopefully) their third center and not a rotation player. Jones really struggled in Atlanta last season and I’m surprised he got another NBA deal. Phoenix has $13 million left below the tax line to re-sign restricted free agent Dario Saric and use its biannual exception on another wing (they should have gone after Bazemore). This deal suggests to me that veteran center Arron Baynes won’t be back.

Blegh, shut up Hollinger. I hate when media write rubbish like "they should have gone after Bazemore"... easier said then done, and sometime players would rather go to Golden State than the Suns.

Hollinger has been crapping on the suns pretty hard lately. Kind of annoying. Nothing we've done has been that boneheaded

And just like that, a team with "no cap space" can so easily make room for whomever they want.

I don't really like Bazemore. It sounds like this was written before the Moore signing, so I understand given the needs at that time, why he would wonder why we'd sign a big first, especially if he didn't expect him to be in the NBA.

Flynn? Do you not understand they have their MLE?

Unlikely considering that's under the MLE and Toronto hasn't used it yet. Unless they have other players they want to sign with the MLE, it doesn't seem a S&T is in the works.

IF they're trying to compete, I'd do Baynes for Ryan Arcidiacono, Gafford, and Felicio ( expiring contract) but still a big body at 6'10 260 lbs as a backup big.

Why not for TSatoransky? Solid veteran SG/PG backup.

Very good point.

Can we do that though if he'll ( Santoransky) will be making more than the MLE? He'd be solid, But would also add another 5 million to our salary in 2021 in a buyout.

2021 $5 million guaranteed (@FredKatz),

Suns could ask for a guy they are not bringing back for a double S&T, like maybe Boucher or RHJ...but they could bring Boucher back too. Or Suns could just sign one of those guys with the BAE.

Suns probably won't do much except sign Dario and sign a guy to the minimum (or guarantee Okobo's minimum deal).

Or I guess (think) that Saric would give them 13, leaving two more roster spots, so they could use the BAE and minimum or one of them and Okobo.

They also have one more two-way spot, so GoK, maybe you should spend your time now on scouring the undrafted rookies who still have not signed with someone....or really good G league performers not signed to a 2 way.

7 mil a year for Aaron is a good bargin.

Is Javale McGee really worth a second pick for the Lakers to get Gasol. Unless the lakers are sending cash

Gasol still only gets 2.7m but the lakers stay under hard cap

Raptors brought back Boucher

Good signing by the Raptors -

Still not sure why the Cavs wanted McGee - but maybe the lakers are paying part of it

A S&T with Baynes seemed like a stretch to me anyways, Good luck to him.

TheLogician · Post #3219 » by **TheLogician** » Mon Nov 23, 2020 1:28 am

Any word on backup PG? Reggie Jackson for min or BAE?

Teams this year aren’t doing press conferences with their new players? Would love to hear Chris Paul, Jae Crowder and Jalen Smith. This is still something they can do virtually. I wonder if it’s because the season is around the corner. Also, will there be media day this year? Can’t wait for the season.
