I think the addition of Love would make you guys instant contenders. What do you think it would take to get him. Alex Len, one of the Morris and a future first? might need a 3rd team I'm guessing you guys lack the big salary to match with him



Unfortunately if the Suns wanted to get Love via trade I think we'd have to trade Alex Len and I am not a fan of that. I'm hoping, if a trade were to happen, it would be Gerald Green/Morris twins, Lakers 2015 1st and Suns 2015 1st. I'd rather lose those guys then Len, because you can't teach his size. I think Green is gone after this season anyway, so the Suns might as well trade him if we get good assets in return.


What makes you think Green is gone after this season? He has consistently expressed his desire to stay in PHX and loves his coach and teammates.

Can you link this for me? I didn't know that. I feel like, he'll want a big payday, and I just don't think we can give it to him when we have other areas of concern.

This are from interviews he gave during and after the season and has been reported in AZ Central (Coro's reports).

I feel like he could just be being a professional. I imagine he loves the Suns for allowing him this opportunity to showcase his talent and utilize him in the way that we have, but again, when it comes down to payday I doubt we'll get special consideration for a paycut, if it came down to that.
What do you guys think Gerald Green's market value is gonna look like next summer?

GS has TPE which expires two days after signings can start.



i know - I told you that the other day. GS will not be able to use it.


Why not? You told me it expired within the next couple of days. Unless you can't use it simultaneously with a S&T, they will have 2 days to use it.

Question: say frye does leave, how does that affect Tucker's game? I don't think tucker will be back because there is better talent available. But if he did stay, how do you guys think it will affect tucker?

I actually think it hurts Tucker's game. Just my opinion. He will be expected to create shots and hit three from other than the corner....which he can't do.

At least $7 million a year if he plays as well as he did. I think we will definitely keep him unless we sign some star wing guy who can play the 2 or 3 or if Goodwin suddenly turns into a capable 30 min a night guy.

Ariza views the Wizards as the frontrunner, but is also expected to receive interest from Cleveland, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Los Angeles Clippers, Detroit, Houston, Phoenix and Miami, sources said. The 10-year NBA veteran is expected to talk to the other interested teams over the phone. Yahoo! Sports -

Ariza has definitely improved his range and three point consistency. But I just don't like his style for the team.

Depends on if we can replace Frye with a similar player (Hawes, trade for Anderson or Ilyasova). I think Tucker will be here next year unless he gets offered over $8 million a year.

Tucker is not needed though. We got TJ Warren and Gerald Green can slide in and play SF. Marcus Morris can be third string once Warren starts to adapt.

If you know your getting contract year ariza he's a great signing. Good 3 and d guy. Problem is he's had 2 good years and they were both contact yrs so that's a little scary.

I think you underestimate Tucker's importance. His D is very important. Unless we get a guy like Ariza or maybe Deng, he is likely to return. I think we definitely without a doubt keep him if he doesn't get offers exceeding $5 million.

Do you guys think we will give Bledsoe an offer right out of the gate, or wait and let the market (or lack of market) set his price?

I think they make an offer right away but no where near max. Than they wait to match offers or match and trade.
