(Assuming Lebron is not an option)


PG: Bledsoe 32 min / Ennis 10 min / Goodwin 6 min
SG: Dragic 32 min / Green 10 min / Goodwin 6 min
SF: Hayward or Deng (last resort) 32 min / Green 10 min / Warren 6 min
PF: Markieff Morris 30 min / Marcus Morris 12 min / Gasol (last resort) 6 min
C: Gasol 24 min / Plumlee 16 min / Len 8 min

As you can see... suns still too many players and not enough minutes.

Ideally second year rookies should be on 10-12 minutes, 1st year rookies on 6-8 minutes and starters and sixth man all above 28-30 minutes.

Suns still need to probably cut a couple of front court players assuming they are signing Gasol.
They also need to figure our Green's minutes if they are targeting a SF....


You're being very premature. The Suns have not completed the roster and you're doling out minutes. BTW, unless lightning strikes in a very fortuitous manner, neither Ennis nor Warren are likely to have consistent rotation minutes and the Suns would be very disappointed if Len only earns 8mpg.





Yeah obviously I'm speculating... That's a big chunk of what people do on realGM....

But the point is ... There's a real chance that what the suns will run with.


There is very little chance of this.

Suns can offer Gasol the most money... Around 3 years for 30 million...
Offer Hayward 4 years at 52 million....

It's feasible..... And I can see it happening... Since Hornacek has a hardon for Hayward and Sun were gonna trade for Gasol at the trade deadline last year but lakers were asking way too much for a free agent at seasons end.

Gasol fixes the interior scoring so there's an incentive there why I think he is an option for McD... I'm not saying top option but he is an option... Especially since Plumlee and Len are still developing.

Do you know how many teams are after Pau, Deng and Hayward? A lot. And Utah likely to match.

Still haven't seen anything on LeBron except here, and one report (Woj) saying they have the "framework" of a contract for LeBron.

I take it the meeting with the agent didn't go well and Ray Ray knows this? Or was he still trying to confirm?


Have we even met with Lebron's agent yet?

No way McD spends that much for Hayward. That is just insane money for his game.

Yeah obviously I'm aware since I've been on the net browsing hours for Free Agency news and browsing other team'a boards.


As I mentioned on my other post..

Hornacek will try to convince McD that Hayward is worth near max... Jazz will probably match and that's fine... Hence I put Deng as another option... He will probably get A 3 year 30 million offer from Suns and it'll be amongst the higher offers.

I do post my opinions and plenty of them. As far as challenging yours', if you do not like challenges don't' post your opinions. Do you not realize I have frequently endorsed your postings - when they make sense. This one does not.

I suppose anythings possible but why do you feel Hornacek has a stiffy for Hayward? What makes you confident he will try to convince?

Some Oregon beat writer said bosh and wade had their contracts basically done. Than it's was disproven. Than the US soccer team lost. After that coro tweeted out the summer league roster. That's about it.

Wade and Bosh supposedly taking 50% pay cuts. Windhorst: Miami has been reportedly telling teams that they have $12+ million to spend in FA. Bosh and Wade's agent: refuted the drastic pay cuts. Soooo basically you missed nothing.
