Yes, he makes the most sense and seems to be under the radar...we need to focus on realistic candidates and waste minimal time on Aldridge and Love.

Ultimately I can't see why Millsap would leave the Hawks, but if they decide Carrol is more important for the future and we sell him big time, who knows?

Milsap is a better fit than Aldridge imo and actually is a better bargain than Love potentially depending on the final number he signs for. He should be who we target assuming the younger guys who can grow with our core are quick nos (Harris, Draymond).

A lot of that is ignorance though, because there are still people out there who think the Suns have stumbled into starting both, such that they would eat each other's own minutes instead of occupying 2 starting positions full-time.

Holy heck, I go to Canyon Lake for most of the day, and this thread jumps 11 pages?

Ok, quick summary please. I saw the possible Cavs idea, are there any others?

Doesn't hurt to try. I like us chasing the big dogs rather than going for the second tier guys. It only takes one big signing to turn this ship around.

I just don't get why Phoenix is on he list for Aldridge to meet with. Why us? Don't get me wrong I LOVE SEEING THAT but just crazy.

Remember when we met with Rich Paul to discuss LeBron James. Then ended up paying Bledsoe 70m.

Who's working who in these meetings!

Well I live in Minny, and I spent my day on a lake in PHX, so for the day I guess I'm for the original idea. But I wore a Suns t-shirt the whole day....so.

Went back and read that, but we are after the Spurs, so it's like speed dating following Kate Upton.

I have been such a big Millsap fan for such a long time. He used to be my favorite non Suns player in the NBA for years.

I wanted the Suns to trade for him after Amare left so badly because I felt like him and Nash together would have made a solid pairing.

Aldridge and Knight have the same agent.

Earl Clark and LMA are very good friends. Most everyone in Portland thinks Clark has a stellar coaching career ahead of him and he is very highly respected.

I think that is the primary reason the Suns are getting a look.

Earl Clark is not with us anymore... I'm confused.

Or because Arn Tellem is doing us a favor for giving Knight $70m.
