2014 Official FA Thread 2

Fenerbahce is close to Bogdan Bogdanovic.
The Serbian combo guard was selected by the Suns with the 27th overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft.
Bogdanovic will remain in Europe for at least one more year and his future seems to be in Turkey with Obradovic’s team.
Fenerbahce is already in talks with Partizan Belgrade for the buyout.

We will have options. We will probably have a good Lakers pick coming, so instead of paying the Morris bros we could use a high pick to replace them and like someone said, with the Childress contract coming off, it wouldnt be a whole lot more money out of the pocket of Sarver, just use the money alloted to that contract to keep Dragic.

Testing one...two....three..

You have to take out the "es" from "statuses" according to Kerrsed.

In other news... not sure if I trust this source, but interesting nonetheless.

Ideal but not likely. I would love that but we'll see.

If only one was here, who would you prefer to keep?

That is tough. My bias is what it is because of an off-court interaction with Goran. So I pick Goran.

EDIT: I forgot how to English.

Wait what? Isn't he our draft pick? I understand that the Nets have a billionaire owner but since when does that mean that they can just sign our draft picks?

The Suns drafted Bogdan Bogdanovic. I have no idea who who the guy the Nets want to sign is.

Lol. I was assuming that's his brother or something...

We drafted Bogdan. This is for BOJAN. Different players.

"Bojan Bogdanović is a Croatian professional basketball player who plays for Fenerbahçe Ülker of the Turkish Basketball League. He also represents the Croatian national basketball team." Wikipedia

When we drafted Bogdan, they showed Bojan's video package from what I recall. They had to later apologize

Quick thoughts- the longer this goes the better for PHX as has been stated. We want this to be a 2 horse race.

Other thought- If Lebron doesn't come to PHX, look for a S&T of Bledsoe (at Max- 14.5mil) and Ennis to Sac in exchange for Isaiah Thomas (at 8mil) , D. Williams (exp.) and Nick Stauskas after PHX grabs the 2nd Tier FA's they want. It just seems like all the smoke leads to a fire that looks like something like that.

Dragic/ Thomas/Goodwin
Green/ Stauskas
Deng/ Morris/ Warren
Pau/ Morris/
Frye/ Plumlee/ Len

The more teams involved with Pau, the better.

I'd be OK with this if we got Stephenson. Otherwise, I'll take my chances with Bledsoe since Thomas is going to get a contract he doesn't deserve. (8-9 mil)

While I don't totally disagree, one thing has me wondering (throughout this whole FA process). If we don't land LeBron, it most likely means he resigned with Miami. That, in turn, means Miami improved, and the only way I could see them improving enough to keep LeBron is singing Pau and Deng. So, in my opinion, we either land LeBron, or we make some smaller, less expensive moves. I just don't see us singing Pau or Deng if we don't get LeBron.

Did you just come up with that S&T? Because I figured out the salaries on something like that about a half hour ago and responded to a thread on the GB with it. Your post is almost exactly what I put (with the addition of Ennis and the subtraction of a couple other expirings). If you didn't see my post, that is pretty crazy.

Except where did you come up with Thomas at $8 million? He is making $800K. Did he opt out? If he did, I guess I hadn't realize, but makes perfect sense if he did. But in that case NO WAY do the Suns do that. The whole purpose of trading Bledsoe would be because they are not going all in now and don't want to pay two point guards a ton of money.

That is disgusting. Thomas is a volume shooter. Do not want.

If the Suns signed Lance Stephenson, I would stop following them. I have been a die hard Suns fan since the 1990's, but no way in hell would I cheer on a team that employs a player who threw his girlfriend down the stairs and smashed her head into a stair after that. Not to mention, but even Stephenson's own teammates called him selfish before the playoffs started. He got into a fist fight with Evan Turner the night before the playoffs began. Keep Stephenson away from the Suns.
