Lol I want West for 2 years.

I think that's certainly a pretty solid consolation prize should we strike out on Aldridge. Although I'm not sure we're what David West is looking for.

If LMA signs with us, how about bringing back Michael Beasley as a spark off the bench?

Yes, if they can get West as consolation it would be fantastic. We are going to be competitive, so we might as well make the best of it.

Sounds good to me! Does anyone know if Marcus Banks is available? He'd be a great backup at point. It goes without saying that Josh Childress needs to be brought in as well.

Consolations are for losers. LMA or bust :D

Are posts not posting for anyone else when they quote people? I guess it wouldn't be good to quote me if your answer is yes.

Wasting our time with Aldridge, Hakim Warrick is the guy we need to sign.

Any way we can snag Josh Childress from the Sydney Kings? Sydney is a pretty hot Free Agent Destination!

Man, I just want to know. I love all the anticipation, but if it's gonna be a letdown, just get it out of the way.

Hoping we find out tonight that we get a second meeting, though. To get this decision correct, LMA must be prudent; he has to give us a second meeting.

Sent Steve Nash a tweet to help the Suns recruit LMA. It (obviously) worked for Larry Fitzgerald. Everyone needs to get on board, lol.

I know you guys are kidding but can we please not go back to the dark days of Beasley, Childress, and Warrick! :(

I really think our next step should be going for a three-headed dragon at the center slot.

Per 36 in his last season was 13.2/10.3....pretty solid for a backup. He's shown range from the 3 as well....his career 3pt percentage, while low at 25% shows that he can stretch the floor when asked. He's also considered a fan favorite, and has a great attitude. And he'll provide some veteran leadership.

in a vacuum I like David west as a player but I can't see how him and the suns make sense.

He's not going to want to come here to split minutes with keif and at the price and age if I had to choose between the two I'd take keif in a landslide.

If someone does a 1+1 deal and opts out, do they lose bird rights?

Can something for once not go in the spurs favor and they have to settle for Carlos boozer just this time. I mean come on...
