LeBron, Bosh, Dirk, or Melo. Yes we will have plenty for another max level contract.

Hmm, thought I saw some numbers out there that showed otherwise. But I may be wrong.

$16.7M available and many things could happen to increase the amount

1) The salary cap increases (probably $2-3M extra)
2) We trade away some of our 1st round picks for future picks ($1-2M extra)
3) Frye opts out of his contract and we waive his rights ($6.5M extra)
4) Work a sign and trade

Any of those happen and we have more money to work with.

Yep, you definitely shut Goran down now with nothing to play for. Don't risk further injury heading into the offseason.

Might be a good chance to see the young kids get some burn.

Would like to see:

Bledsoe 35mins
Green 30mins
Tucker 24mins
Kieff 30mins
Plumee 24mins

With a bench of

Goodwin 30mins
Marcus 30mins
Len 24 mins

Ish 13mins
Randolph 10mins

I only saw one player laughing...
Game and season over, Green and the bench guys look sad/shocked...
Bledsoe and Allen at the line:

Why are you posting on an NBA board, rather than being a big time star in the NBA, then? You just don't want to embarrass other people? SIGN THIS MAN IMMEDIATELY, MCDONOUGH. HE'S THE FUTURE OF THE NBA. HE DOESN'T MISS WITH A BUM ANKLE!

Cuz I am 5'10 and very slow. Lol seriously though, I just don't want to hear on his post game interview, "my ankle the reason why I performed bad today." JUST SAY YOU HAD A BAD GAME.

His ankle had nothing to do with that airball he threw up. I understand missing layups but shots? C'mon. Nobody talks about how bad a 3 point shooter he's been this month and end of march. Just admit you're struggling. Don't blame it on the ankle.

I hate excuses as much as anyone since everyone is playing with some level of pain most of the time. But to say it has no effects on an elite athletes performance is ridiculous.

I thought Markief Morris is a good forward

I don't get it. He was our best player today.

People take defeat with different reactions. Frankenstein is grasping at straws.

I can shoot pretty well, but I really haven't pushed things a week after a bad twist. I did play a full hour after I severely twisted my ankle (dumb idea), and I couldn't come close to shooting the ball. Although, I oddly rebounded well, and couldn't even jump.

But that dumb idea kept me off the courts for a good six months.

Everyone is saying the Suns need to get better forwards in the offseason. Morris seems to be legit

But my argument is.. The play where he tweaked it was nothing. He shouldn't have sat out vs the Spurs. He's suppose to be the dragon.. Dragons are tough.

We need a low post presence/rebounder. Kief is a pure scorer, not a rim protector.

So you guys are looking for a quality starting PF?

Warriors just won against the T-Wolves anyway so it wouldn't have mattered anyway.

How can you possibly know the extent of an injury from what it looks like to you. You haven't seen his ankle. What looks like a totally irrelevant little tweak might actually end up being a terrible injury. When Bledsoe injured his knee, that didn't look bad either, but it kept him out 30+ games. Do you even think before you type?

The problem is you don't know what the heck you are talking about. You have no idea the level of pain Goran is in, nor the level it affects his game. Just let it go. :noway:
