2020 Preseason Speculation - Lineup battles underway

[Revived]

Knew it..

Crowder was the guy Suns will end up signing. And yes I still think he's living off his reputation of 5 years ago... He's been bleh. But the contract is not terrible and he can at least pass on knowledge to the younger guys

If he can continue to defend at a high level and shoot at least 35%+ from 3 then it’s worth the value. Can’t expect anything more from him.

He’s only 30 yrs old too.

Great signing with Crowder, great glue guy and a solid vet which we need more of. Really liking what JJ is doing this offseason!

[Blonde]

Not going to lie, I’m very happy with the Crowder addition. Great fit, good contract (in light of what other guys are getting), and will be very moveable if needed.

[Ghost of Kleine]

Nice. He’s not perfect but a welcome addition.

Yeah, he's fine, but not too exciting. A little long for my liking but at this point, at least we got someone decent.

Hopefully we still use the BAE on somewhat of a decent PG or combo guard.

We need to go hard for Teague or Jackson at this point.

Difference between a team that just made the Finals/been a winning organization for the last decade vs a team that has been awful for the last decade:

MLE salary for first team- Moe Harkless + Avery Bradley

Same MLE salary for second team- Jae Crowder

Not knocking it at all, I’ve been a Crowder fan for a long while, just something I noticed.

That's sort of a strange comment regarding Saric. Why hope to bring him back? Does this mean he's asking for way too much?

Given the ridiculous contracts beind handed out, I wouldn't be surprised if his agent is asking for something like 15 million a year. That said, he's an RFA, so we hold all the chips.

Big money has now already dried up, and I can't see Saric getting a mega offer anywhere. Maybe the Knicks?

[oddity]

Well at least it's not 4 years lol! for 10 mill this is a solid move. Now we have a cheaper veteran wing to complete that wing rotation.

I'm going to take a nap so that guarantees the suns sign someone in the next hour or so. You guys jonesing for a move can thank me later.

Also someone better at the cap than me figure out if Baynes can go to Boston in a in a 3way S&T with scary Terry coming back here. There's some weird **** with base year rules that would let the suns take way more back if Baynes signs at a certain amount.

There is ZERO chance we are taking back that Rozier contract. Even if we could somehow. I will consider us as fans lucky if we use all our exceptions.

I seriously seriously doubt we use all our exceptions AND use Baynes in a S&T, even if it was a small one. If we happen to do that though, I will be really happy with Sarver.

I agree. It will either be taking on 8-10m or so with a Baynes S&T or signing somebody to the BAE. Not both.

Wanamaker with the BAE at this point.

McLaughlin, Wanamaker, Napier or possibly Teague or Jackson if they will take that little.

[Phnxsports]

Based on all the deals we have seen so far, I honestly cannot understand one bit anyone saying 3 for 30 is a "bad contract"

[Qwigglez]

I’m viewing this as we are likely not signing another big or wing (besides Saric). Could possibly sign someone like Forbes, and retain Jevon Carter.

[Crives]

Awesome! I was hoping for Crowder or Holiday with the MLE.. I kinda like our defense backcourt.. was not excited about DJ.

I would do Baynes and a future 2nd for Wannamaker and the draft rights to Yam Madar.

[Crives]

I think we need to offer Dario a 3 yr 36m deal.

I just don't see any bid money for Saric at this point. Like you said, only the MLE or the Knicks. I would be fine with Saric at a one year deal at this point

[Blackification]

We need another guard!

I get where you’re coming from, but Bradley is pretty much cooked at this point. I had him as a vet minimum guy.

[NapoleonII]

Solid signing.

When's the last time we beat out other teams for a FA?

He's also great insurance if any of our wings go down, or even if Booker misses time, you can slide Bridges to the 2.

[Stark]

Great signing as long as we keep Saric/Carter and sign with a back up guard (Wanamaker/Forbes)
