2020 Season/Offseason (FA/Trade) Speculation - the Season Resumes

[Slim Charless]

Spoiler:

Ok, so i just got done listening to that Podcast with Flex and this is what i took away from it:

CP3 is working his connections. That was straight out said. Talked about a player taking a lower amount to come here and play next to Paul. Kept making references to PF, so im thinking its either Gallinari or Millsap.

Now i didnt mention Melo there, and thats because he is already getting paid the minimum and wouldnt need to take a paycut. Even though he says he likes it in Portland, i tend to believe that if his good friend Chris gave him a call and said we going on a title run with the Suns and could use you as a spark off the bench, he probably would be down with the move.

But then a little bit later he mentioned that they were trying to put something big together and other teams were scared and something about a trade before the CP3 trade, bringing in a guy to put next to Ayton that would help Ayton turn into the monster that he can be, and a guy that just might push CP3 back towards being our #4 scorer (Behind Booker/Ayton and the Mystery man). Well i started looking at Rosters for PF's that we might be able to trade for that could be talking to CP3.......and i hate to say it but Aldridge popped into my mind. Spurs are looking to completely change up their team, if theres a way to get it done a CP3/Booker/Bridges/Aldridge/Ayton squad would be looked at as a top 4 team (Once again Flex mentioned what the Suns were trying to do would easily make us a top 4 team).

It seems like CP3 is really gun-ho about the Suns and made it sound like he is doing everything he can to not only get here, but get others to come here for cheap and a chance to win a ring. So if we could pull off something like i posted above, it wouldnt surprise me if we end up signing guys like Melo and Milsap, former all-stars at the end of the careers getting a season or two to try to finally win a title. Im trying to come up with a few more names that might fit the bill but am drawing a blank, so if anyone can think of one let me know. I was going to say Gay, but i see he still has a full guaranteed year left on his contract.

Also sounds like its a toss up if we keep the pick. We would like to keep it (Or just have a pick in the 1st be it ours or another teams), but we might need to use our #10 in a big 4 way to get CP3, or even in another trade that may be being put together (Sounds like we should know more about THAT deal in a few days).

Draft section wasnt really about any real Suns info, more so opinions about the guards.

Overall it was a real solid podcast, much better than a lot of the Suns podcasts i see. I would recommend.

Jae Crowder comes to mind in addition to Millisap. I'd also add Tristian Thompson even though I know he's already got 1 ring, I'm sure he'd love the PHX scene and he does do alot of the dirty things and is somewhat rugged- two traits that I'm sure we all would Ayton to pick up.

Good point on Crowder, he would be a nice addition, but I expect him to sign for a good amount of money. He has not earned a lot during his career.

Millsap, Gallinari, Melo or Tristan...all of them make sense. They have got a lot of money and they are close to CP3.

Gallinari would be my favourite option out of those four, he is versatile and big enough to play PF and some backup C too. He is a legit 6'10, smart with terrific shooting.

Just imagine how difficult we would be to stop rotating Cam/Gallo/Saric/Ayton at 4/5.

My least favourite would be Millsap...but he is a solid player yet and he would help as a backup more than Kaminsky/Diallo...so I would be OK with him too.

Gallo would be great too and obviously has history w/ cp3. I wasn't sure how much Crowder has made in his career. If we got Paul I'd imagine that we'd have to stick to mid level exception, thats why I mentioned TT. Melo would work and I wonder if Ibaka or Gasol would feel like a change of scenery.

This is the second Green rumor I've heard this morning (aldridge going to GS was the other). I wonder if something happened behind the scenes that pissed GS off.

Now I know Draymond likes to talk so on TNT - he talks or whatever for attention
but there isn't a planet out there where he was a better player than BArkley
he was the perfect role player for that team. Sorry, he might be an all-star he might be an olympian but he was a role player

I don't see how Love helps but whatever

I hope ole Flexy actually has sources and is right. If the paul move comes with another win now move or two this could be a really fun season.

Can you imagine this board and suns twitter if none of this happens or its proven to be false. Its gonna be fire lol.

[Wilber85]

Here is what will happen

CP3 not to suns
Westbrook not to suns

Suns will get #10 pick. Trade it for Aaron Gordon and #15.

Roll with this lineup and depth

Rubio, Payne
Booker, Cam Johnson, Carter
Bridges, Oubre
Gordon, Saric
Ayton, #15 (Jalen Smith)

Boom. Better and Deeper than wasting money on CP3

Or we can take Cole Anthony at #15 and pick up a Vet Center to back up Ayton

I've always saw this Booker led team over the last few years, as a team with kids and no adults. It's like playing in an adult rec league, and knowing your team isn't very good, but you have a couple of solid players. Then suddenly, you bring in experienced winners who say, 'ok no more of this. Here's how winning is done'.

It is like Cyber Security companies saying we will 99.9% secure you! If it happens that was the .1% rare occurrence.

Just a couple random thoughts... Gallo running full speed makes me wince, have you ever watched The Rock run? Both look like you would be able to hear their knees SQUEAKING!!! And I am just not a fan of Finny-Smith, someone threw his name out. Also a question, if you had a choice between Gallo and Aldridge, who would you rather have?

For me, in spite of injury concerns, I think that I'd much rather have Gallo because he's the better scorer overall, He's already got familiarity with Paul, And also is a longtime family friend of Booker back from his playing days with his father Melvin! ( Extra Points with Book). Plus he'd come cheaper this yr I believe too. Lastly, I haven't fully forgiven him for rejecting us for the Spurs either! ( my grapes are still a bit sour over that whole situation.

The thing about Gallinari is that we already showed interest in trading for him before the end of last trade deadline in February. So we know that our FO like him.

He was very good in that system. I am intrigued what team he would work well with.

Donkeymond Green finishing his career for the Cavs gives me the happys. Nothing is more fitting than him spending the rest of his time in NBA Siberia.

I will be intrigued by how the rest of the roster fills out. This could be a lot of fun. Dude is a heckuva player and he probably is what Ayton needs - somebody who will be in his ear and his face.

But with Paul for two years - wonder if that pushes Millsap up the list over a guy like Christian Wood since there might be more a sense of urgency to win.

Almost as exciting as the Suns winning a championship, please get Draymond to Cleveland.

Four years left on his deal - about $100m

I can see the Knicks wanting him with Thibodeau maybe
Just not sure the market will be there for a guy who really was right for that system

But the report says a third team - so it won't be Cleveland.

Love to the Warriors
Randle and Gibson/Ellington to the Cavs - and maybe a pick from NYK
Green to the Knicks

Cavs get major cap relief
