McD is a D bag. The irony of that tweet is the players did basically take an 18% pay cut with how the escrow works the next two years. Now that's not to absolve sarver for being a cheap prick who should sell to an actual rich person who will treat the team as a toy.

God, I would love to wake up some morning and see that Jeff Bezos is interested in tossing 1 or 2 of his 160+ billion $arver's way in order to own this team. I'll give $arver credit though, at least he's not selling draft picks anymore-yet.

I’ll take Bezos or Musk. One of them buying the Suns or the Chargers from cheap bastards like Sarver or Spanos would be the equivalent of the team winning a title for me.

Depends what you consider playing... He hasn't played well in years.

like giving us solid 10-15 solid minutes spell out our guards. If Paul is out for any extensive amount of time we are pretty much f***ed.


Might as well bring back Earl Watson to play. He could bring some LOVE to the team.

The BAE rules are kind of confusing. I'm pretty sure they used it to sign Diallo last year but I guess since they didn't pick up his second year they can use it again this year?

Edit: I just looked it up and Cheik was a min deal not the BAE.

Just one month and one day...much more exciting than having an absolutely dead August, Sept and much of Oct.

Gotta admit, I love the accelerated timeline. Draft and FA should be this close together from now on.

If your post is the last post in the thread, you can delete with the X.

And for those who make double posts, you can immediately delete the 2nd one, since it's likely the last post in the thread.

Can you imagine? Talk about not worrying about the luxury tax, repeater tax, etc.


Isn't Sarver 1 of the poorest owners too? I think MJ has more money (though less now after signing GH to that godawful contract). Musk would be great also, just the press we would get from having one of those actual rich dudes own the team would be amazing. We'd sign everyone while building a stadium that makes the ones in Dallas or Vegas look like something that belongs in a trailer park.

Bezos would never own a sports team. His employees would be unionized, he'd spontaneously combust.

I'm with you here but I wouldn't mind an extra month just so our guys can get more time together and more time for Jalen to get extra time in the weight room.

I am sure Aron Baynes is a bit perplexed by the turn of events with the free agency and how the spending is going. I guess the Clippers still have their MLE to throw at him. Boston perhaps.

As for the Suns - still would like a bit more backcourt depth.

David OZ 4PtPlay is trying to will into existence a Baynes for Crowder sign and trade with Miami. I just am not sure Miami needs Baynes with Olynyk there. I just don't see it happening

I think the best chance for an S&T was with the Pelicans

Do have to wonder if the Suns are seeing if anybody gets bought out - say George Hill that they can use the BAE for.

Wow Ryan. It really tough, but you managed to make more of an ________ of yourself than Sarver.

Depending on the length of the MLE deal, wouldn't be surprised if the Suns try to match. If its a 1 or 2 year deal, i would think they would offer Baynes the same to stay in the Valley. But I doubt he gets that much anymore. Might be better for him to sign a 1 year with PHX and see if maybe we are the contender he was looking for.
