The One And Only Offseason Thread 3

Henson is awful.

Pretty much this.

I would counter with Bledsoe and a first rounder for Giannis. I would even include a Laker one since Greek Freak`s potential is off the charts.

Bledsoe and a 1st for the Greek freak??? This fool hasn't shown that much has he?? Bledsoe is young too

it does appear that Tolliver shot 40% from 3 last season, but on very limited attempts. What kind of impact can he make from the bench though?

Limited attempts? He shot almost 4 (3.9) a game in 20 minutes! That's hardly limited. Frye shot 5.3 in 28 minutes. They both shot about one every five minutes on the floor.

Giannis Adetokounbo with his athleticism, length and skill set can be a top 5 player in the whole NBA in 2/3 years time.

Important stuff here.

"I think Eric and his people are just trying to find a place that gives him an offer sheet to see what we'll do with it," Hornacek said. "I think we're committed to do anything we can to keep him so I think it's probably just a matter of time until we work out a deal with him."

Clearly the Suns aren't bidding against themselves and haven't offered him a max deal, which they shouldn't. They're going to let the market dictate Bledsoe's price, and so far it's working in their favor.

Most of his potential suitors have already spent their big money and are now moving on to filling out their bench and role players. For Bledsoe, this could very well mean that the contract he ends up signing won't be quite what he had hoped for.

The more time that passes, the greater the chances that Bledsoe will lock up with the Suns -- possibly for cheaper than we thought.

More Hornacek

A few other quotes by Hornacek that you might find interesting.

When discussing Isaiah, more stuff came out about Markieff starting: "We're going to have to move Markieff (Morris) to starting now, so that's going to give other guys like Marcus (Morris) more time at the 4 with the second group, so we just felt that someone who puts on a little more pressure scoring-wise can open up some of those other guys."

And then later in the interview, he backtracked a bit: "When I say Markieff will be the starter, we're still at the point in the season where anyone can earn it."

On Isaiah: "He's going to help with the leadership that we maybe lost with Channing, so he's going to be a second voice."

On the development of Miles Plumlee: "The biggest thing for Miles is we want him to make a 15-foot jumpshot and not hesitate, so that teams have to honor that."

My take: If Bledsoe is in purple and orange for less than the max and Miles Plumlee is draining 15-footers without hesitation, color me one happy Suns fan.

I hope we sign someone like Jermaine O'Neal to round out our roster. We need some defensive toughness in the paint.

You want some toughness? Let me get you a prescription for some Sweet Lou, Sweet Sweet Lou

This bodes well for us...Surely Bledsoe's camp can see this deal and realise there are F all teams with enough space to sign a monster deal.

Suns should offer 4yr $40m and he should take it...

Unless the Bucks come to the party with a potential sign and trade I think Bledsoe has to take whatever we offer, just don't do a MIN with Pekovic and bid against nobody.

He surely won't risk the QO and take $3.7m for one year?

wow team option?

[Jdiddy701]

Tolliver is not getting a lot of playing time. He's more of a "just in case" happens (injury).

Lance Stephenson only 9 mil a year.. I would have jumped on that. I guess his attitude around the league in the NBA is what's making his value go down because he is worth more than that skill wise. I think that's a pretty damn good contract for hornets/pacers.

Stephenson would not be a good role model for the a Suns youth. And 75% of the team is under 25 (I think)

Hornets wise... They lack shooting.
Walker and Jefferson also need to average 20+ each to carry enough offense. But their defense could be best out east.. Even better than Bulls.

[Sunsdeuce]

Another tolliver.....ummm.....what?

Hope your right jdiddy. Hopefully it's not a guaranteed contract.

Hornets are going to be good. Dare I say the hornets are going to be better than the suns.

I hate the Tolliver signing.

[Gorilla Warfare]

The Tolliver signing means we aren't even going to attempt a bid on Boozer.

I hate the Tolliver signing.

Don't think you will find many people that disagree.

Guards:
Archie
Bledsoe
Goran
Thomas
Ennis
Green

Forwards:
Tucker
Morris
Morris
Tolliver
Warren

Centers:
Len
Plumlee

That's 13. About half the team is guards. Ryan has got to be up to something. That's obviously not going to work.

Looks like we might be be getting a Christmas Day game, and this is what our uniform will look like. They have jerseys for all teams, but I just grabbed the picture of what ours will look like, because they essentially all look the same. Interesting that they will have first names instead of last names.

[Sunsdeuce]

Those look like summer league uniforms.
