Yeah, I do not know what is happening :lol:

Most of us think that teams are overpaying a lot for the FAs that have been signed, so those are good news for the Suns.

There are enough talented players in the pool yet, and a lot of teams will not have their exceptions or cap space very soon.

We will sign some good player on a fair contract for sure.

Yeah it’s as if these loser fans here are sick and tired of missing playoffs for 11 straight years and embarrassed of the Suns having the 3rd longest playoff drought in professional sports.

This is where I stand. We need to fill out this roster with at least a few mid level contracts that are movable in future acquisitions.

Maybe we're actually just trying to find a way to move CP3 for John Wall.

It's a requirement for being a suns fan. Actually, it's a requirement of being a fan of a Robert Sarver owned team


Sure seems like it. We didn't sign DJ Augustin guys, season's over pack it up.

What are you gonna say when 35 yr old Chris Paul gets injured 10 games in and has to miss 20 games and the Suns have no backup PG guy that’s capable of temporarily playing starter mins?

I think more so it's now turning into, "what the heck is Jones' plan?". Not one specific player but he says we are trying to be title contenders. We have CP3 for two years and so far we have about 5 NBA players on the roster. Something doesn't make sense here
Well if they roll into the current season with only the current 8 guys on the roster yeah I'd say we can bitch. But I have a feeling that won't be the case.

Man, you'd think the GOAT who owns a team would watch basketball every once in a while. But apparently not.

Wow that's awful for Boston, they really needed him leaving to be a sign and trade.

There are several options still available. It's been under 24 hours, and the only players that we could afford and were worth signing that have been signed are DJ Augustin and Justin Holiday. Even if we maximized our cap space by doing the trade after free agency, most of the worthwhile signings so far have been out of our price range. There was never a sexy back-up point guard option in free agency that we could afford unless you're really that into Augustin.

I’m glad to see the Celtics lose Hayward for nothing. Also, I really hope that deal works out for Charlotte. They need something good and I’m a big fan of Hayward. Another Batum situation would kill them.

His career history says otherwise and age certainly doesn’t help.
