I am pretty sure that the Suns would have done the same with Beal if not for that dead money from Nassir Little.

Ayton, Clarkson, Cole Anthony, Lillard...the list goes on and on.

We will see if there are some Beal news today or tomorrow.

Thank god Isbhia blew his load early on Little

I think it was likely James Jones was the one who said to do it.

Owed 39m with him picking up the option
65m added

So an AAV of just under $21m

Williams owed $6.8
RFA next year

You are correct - probably looking at an AAV of at least $15m if he stays healthy this year

As I said before, I'm happy with him at even $20m at the upper end, with all of the Zion health related clauses.

Lol!

I like Dame as much as the next basketball fan but my main interest in him was for a Beal swap. Without that on the table now, I'm not sure the point of it.

And he’s not going to even play this year. It’s a rehab year.

I would sign Dame if he wants to be a Sun. Let him recover. He's 34 and likely has a few good years left in his career if he heals up good.

Sorry but he will be 34 and coming off a major injury.

I would rather wait for our young players to develop.

I guess they don't want to deal with Ayton. Not a surprise.

I'm scraping every 2nd round pick I can from LA for Richards.

It's probably more likely Ayton wants more money than Lakers could actually give him. I don't believe Lakers have anything more than the vet min to offer after using the MLE on LaRivia (never heard of the guy honestly)

I agree. I’ll take it a step further. One first and one second.

The Los Angeles Lakers currently have three tradable first-round draft picks and one tradable second-round pick. Specifically, they can trade their 2029, 2030, and 2031 first-round picks, along with a 2025 second-round pick and a 2025 second-round pick acquired from the Clippers.

I mean, great, fantastic. We all agree. But Beal holds the cards, not the Suns.

Dude why would we help the lakers . I wouldn’t take 10 - 2nds from them, screw the lakers . Keep Richards or try to get a better return vs gifting the lakers a center

Or...they might want more than one center

I thought Allen had a chance to go to Detroit but it looks like Duncan Robinson will be the target for the Pistons

I'm running out of Allen teams that make sense without jumping through some weird logical hoops.

SAS?

They have cap room to asorb him I think and a ton of SRPs to use. I'd love to get 3 if possible

Maybe? Dont see the cap but Branham + Wesley works I guess.

Would you use assets and 3yrs of that salary slot for him in their position though? They've got Allen at home in Champagnie plus a glut of guards they're trying to find PT for.

Future unprotected 1st.

How many wins do you expect the Suns to have this season?
