Best case scenario for this upcoming offseason

[Revived]

Eh, Middleton is a good all-around player who fits well into Jason Kidd's system, but there's no way he's getting the max. He wasn't even in the Bucks' rotation early in the season, and is prolly the Buck who benefited most from Jabari Parker's injury.

He might get Demar Derozan type money, 10 mill per season.

I would bet my house that Middleton gets at least $14M/yr.

I still think he will get the Max but if not at least $14M/yr.

Middleton's getting hyped up so much that I have a feeling he will get less than expected.

I loved him as a throw in to a Bledsoe trade last year if we were forced to trade him for Knight and Middleton and a pick...sounds steep now, but at the time, people were against it here.

But yeah, he could be that classic (as Simmons can say), so many are so high on him now, that he went from being underrated to overrated. I always thought he would be a good, but max or close to it? Not yet, not enough of a sample size.

My thoughts pretty much. Thought he was going to surprise people, but didn't expect him to break out in the way he did.

Every championship team has two things:
1. Offensive superstar(s)
2. Elite rim protector
Len may be elite rim protector whe he gain experience and reduce his fouls. If somebody should be untouchable on this team then it's him.
Suns must find offensive superstar now. Easy right?

Best case scenario imo (excluding Suns winning the lottery and other unrealistic stuff):
- trade Bledsoe for high pick
- find young, talented player that don't have opportunity on his team to shine (Noah Vonleh?)
- don't trade Morri now when they value is low, ideally they both come off the bench and Markieff is 6th man
- resign Knight and Wright
- give lots of minutes to Warren, Goodwin and rookie(s)
- ask Granger and Wright to be mental leaders of the team
- speaking of Granger, mayby Suns can save his career like they did with Grant Hill?
- this team probably won't be very good so will get top10 pick next year
- this mean at least two hight picks and two chances of drafting a star
- next offseason with cap going up try to sign some good FA

Looks better than hoping for next Harden available for trade or drafting a star player at 13th-14th pick.

I wouldn't call Chris Andersen and elite rim protector.

OK let's say Heat is an exception but they had trio of LeBron, Wade and Bosh after all.

Warren was the most unstoppable scorer in the ACC, moreso than even Jabari Parker. He looks pretty smooth out there. Why can't he become our offensive star? Because he isn't one yet? Lets not put a cap on his potential. He really didn't get much time, but he looked awfully good when he did play for a rookie who played so few minutes.

[Damkac]

That's why I wrote I want him get a lot of minutes.

Mhm, I'm high on Warrens scoring potential too. Have a feeling that he can be a 20+ ppg player in two seasons. But i fear that his potential in practically all the other elements of the game is not so big. I can see him as a true scorer on SF and absolutely a keeping material.
