Means Harris is gone...He's the guy we need. Max him out, MLE at Shumpert and call it a day...haha if it was only so simple!


We won't have the MLE. It's waived in order to use cap space. Just like all other exceptions they are only available to over the cap teams.

You're right! Duh, not sure what I was thinking there..

I guess MLE type money, something like $15m over 3, but he'll likely get much more than that which will price him out of our range.

I know... It's Broussard, but Stein retweeted. Anyway, does this pull them out of the Aldridge running?

And is it one of these situations where they can sign Aldridge first and then go over the cap to sign Green? Just says they've agreed, not that they've inked the deal.

The model franchise just does things right it seems a lot of the time

I just hope Aldridge now wants to play in "Oh Canada" if not Phoenix

We absolutely cannot beat what the Spurs are offering, nobody panic when he does sign with SA.

5/90 for Dragic.

Cool. One competitor down. I am sure Kobe helped. Listen, I am good with picking up end of the bench FA's on short contracts and letting the kids play. Will our record be worse? Yes. But isn't that how you rebuild? If we get Alderidge (which I am by no means expecting) great, faster rebuild.

Its funny, guys complaining about how the Suns don't blow it up and get good picks, and then complain about not getting middling free agents.

Relax. Enjoy the game.

I had a feeling the Lakers would not be in the running in the end. That team was awful last year. What do they have to offer him? Practically nothing besides the prestige of putting on a Lakers jersey. And that has not been so prestigious in recent years.

Carroll is gone.

Is McD sleeping in while everyone else making deals?

I wonder what the Hawks' plan is now with Millsap and Carroll gone. Harris?

That's what our plan should be is to go after Tobias Harris for $12M per. At this point it seems pretty clear that aldridge is going to the spurs because there is no way they dump splitter without confidence that aldridge will sign with them.

DeMarre Carroll has agreed to a four year, $60M deal with Toronto, league source tells Yahoo.

Horrible contract. I am glad McD `sleeping` on this.

Damn. We should've kept that Laker pick, they're gonna suck again this year and is likely going to be a top 5 would be my guess.

Tobias for 12 MD per year when Carroll is getting 15 MD?

Well plus the initial rumor of him possibly leaving Portland was because a teammate said he really wants to be near family.

If Millsap does leave, they can move Horford to the four if they start Splitter. Maybe we should offer them PJ Tucker for a pick.
