@physic. Quick run down: I freaked out because we resigned tucker. (I cooled off and I'm chill now). Got yelled at. And now thomas may sign with the suns.

That's it in a nutshell

I guess it depends on your goal. We are not ready to win the championship, but are ready to grow. So signing anyone on the wrong side of 30 is a bad idea unless it is just a one or two year contract for someone to help the young guys learn.

I think your expectations for this team are WAY too high right now and you are likely to be disappointed in any scenario. If you wanted Deng and Pau and we sunk $25 million a year into these guys for like 3-4 years, you would probably be happy right now but pissed off the next four years when we were still struggling for the 8 seed as these guys broke down and our young guys were not playing enough.

So your question is a very tough one to answer.

I hear ya. Just wanted to see who you would like to fill in the roster with. A lot hinges on what they do with Bledsoe. Can't help to think the longer this drags out with him the more likely he is going to be a sign and trade. I mean if the suns were really hardcore committed to Bledsoe, a deal would be in place.

I'm fine going several ways. I really wouldn't mind going younger and maybe taking a step back to take two steps forward in a year or two with a S&T like I mentioned (but I've also mentioned I have some concern over paying Bledsoe $60 million over 4 years too and would like to keep Dragic as the face of the franchise). If we really want to go for it all, I would probably try to sign guys I think Minnesota would take in a Love trade mid season. But I'd wait to make sure LeBron doesn't go to Cleveland (and Love traded there) first. If you know Minny likes Deng, sign him, and include him in a Love package. I don't think Pau or Deng do enough to justify what they make and that they would move us forward enough to make us a contender.

Like I've said before, I wouldn't mind them trying to find guys on teams they think should be playing and haven't gotten the right opportunity or something and nab them and let our coaches do with them what they did with Green and Plumlee. There is a huge gulf between what these guys make and what these vets that are not real game changers make, and a mistake doesn't matter much, but they could also pan out to be great signings.

If I wanted to swing for the fences this year with who is left, and assuming we can't get LeBron or Bosh, I would sign Pierce to a 1 year deal at $9-10 million. He is old, but it is not a long term commitment and he would be positive for the young guys regardless of how the team does. But if we went on a run this year, he'd be every bit as important in a playoff series as anyone else on the market. And he'd still be off the books next year. He is only hoping for that money too and only wants to play another year or two.

I think our situation is fluid, but I love our stockpile of young talent, and the fact we have more picks this year. I'm really excited to see a team grow and get better. Yeah, none of us are getting younger, but watching a team grow up together and win it all to me would be much more exciting than signing a diva to hopefully win a championship. Even if we don't quite get there, I always enjoy the journey and the battles and competing every year.

I would for sure think it was an Uber stretch...paid for by Phoenix, because we're classy as f**k.

Considering that he was getting paid the salary of the 60th pick in the draft…yes.

I've had Uber drivers tell me they have Suns players all the time. He said they sit back there and just text and call people all the time :lol:

Lol that's so bizarre, you'd think they have a limo service at least.

Gorilla Warfare · Post #15 » by **Gorilla Warfare** » Fri Jul 11, 2014 3:36 am

Suns' pitch to Thomas probably went something like this:

"Hey....see how this isn't Sacramento? How does $3 million a year sound to you?"

Or maybe Carl's Jr they just built in the arena. Word is Sarver has a looooooooooooot of coupons for 3 free chicken fingers.....

nah not fast food. Remember Sarver isn't necessarily cheap, but just spends his money poorly. They're probably at Red Lobster.
