If the Suns are really costing themselves FAs on a great price tag because their waiting for LeBron then really ought to think if McD is the right person for the job.

At the end of the day, Hawes, LeBron and the Clippers will get the last laugh while the Suns sit there with egg on their face.

For the record, I don't think McD is holding off on signing FAs because of the 5% chance that LeBron might sign here. He's not that stupid imo.

Nt only that, Hawes would be the perfect big man to compliment a guy like LBJ.

I actually hope we continue to wait preventing us from signing average players.

Surely you aren't saying McD is a chump because he lost out on Hawes are you? :D

The thing is, it's not like we are missing any serious impact players by waiting. If anything, the longer this all goes on, the more bargains there will be if we want to spend the money. I know you're not a Frye guy, but as long as he is still around, missing on Hawes isn't THAT big of a deal (if we feel we must have a stretch big). We may be able to take a guy like Ilyasova off Milwaukee's hands too, if they are ready to move him. Or maybe we facilitate Ilyasova going to Minnesota with the twins and some picks and Love coming to us. Who knows?

The point is, if there were a bunch of GREAT free agents we were missing out on, you might have a good point, but I don't think there are, and I'm not a Deng fan.

If the other team is looking for a S&T then they are very likely an over the cap team. Maybe Memphis?

Lol wouldn't doubt if it's boston for Jeff green.
I would be 50/50 on that tucker really is important y'all saw the game he got suspended for
Cavs wrecked us.

His rebounding and energy can't be replaced



Edit:
Ryan Anderson makes sense too

Tigers winning it all. Tigers are, imo, peaking at the right time.

Tucker is the perfect backup for Lebron if he comes... You hold on to him.
If Lebron doesn't come then trade Tucker for a young cheaper alternative because suns FA hunt will extend until next season.

They can play together too. Even though I'm low on Frye he'd be a better fit than Len...
Trading Len/twins/Warren/Goodwin cuts about 12-13m.

Bledsoe-Ennis
Dragic-Green
LBJ-Tucker
Bosh-LBJ/Frye
Pumlee-Frye/Bosh

That is the best team in the league.

The future of this franchise is in serious peril now that we've lost out on the venerable Spencer Hawes.

Lol, Six rebounds a game is very easy to replace. It's not like he is rodman. I mean seriously.
