Is he allowed to take less then the MLE? And if the frontcourt you're referring to possesses the name Burk and Grant then we need him.
He'll make us a legit 8 deep. I'm not sure if House is coming back which could mean problems for the PG position.
If so, the lineups would be
Steve
Raja
Marion
Amare
Kurt
James
Barbosa
Boris

True, but I doubt he'll take anything less than MLE. Course he is allowed, don't think he won't. Yeah, House could clear up almost another million if he opts out, so I don't know. I thought we were gonna do some minor tweaking? Which means help us out? Blah, I don't know. I'm pissed cuz of this damn site, I have a headache, it's ****ing hot here. Shoot me.

Re: Official Draft Thread of the Phoenix Suns
Sarver is a penny-pincher to an amazing degree it seems. It's pretty sad for the Suns fans.

Re: Official Draft Thread of the Phoenix Suns
Yeah, too bad, we didn't have a guy who was willing to spend so we could keep Marion through next yr and add more depth. This sucks.

Re: Official Draft Thread of the Phoenix Suns
Wow, with Sergio and Steve in the backcourt for Phoenix, Run n' Gun will be even faster! Great pick, Phoenix, for Sergio!

Re: Official Draft Thread of the Phoenix Suns
What ticks me off the most about the Suns selling both picks is that Sergio Rodriguez was sitting right there at 27, a guy that supposedly the Suns liked, and whose style of play would seem to fit right in. And we could have stashed him in Europe for another year until the inevitable departure of Barbosa.
That's why the saving on luxury tax excuse doesn't fly for me. If that was the only motivation Rodriguez would be Suns property right now, and playing overseas another year. Or at the very least they would have gotten a pick in next year's draft. It seems to me this was a blatant cash grab by Sarver.
And pretty poor public relations too; a lot of fans look forward to draft day, and I can't think of better way to tick them off than to do what the Suns did today. Except maybe drafting Renaldo Balkman at 20.
EDIT - Just heard we picked up a future 1st in the Boston deal. That makes me feel a little better, but I still wish we kept 27 and Rodriguez.

Diss, I know you're sittin there clicking "reload" every 10 seconds. Stop screwin it up for everyone else.
So basically the Suns weren't able to trade up, therefore they're doing everything possible to make everyone believe that they liked the team the way it was and wanted to keep them together all along.
Bottom line: they screwed up on not selecting Williams.

of course we wanted to add someone, but we wanted to keep it how it was and not risk any major movement. Or teams just didn't want to play with us.
We obviously weren't high on Williams or we would've taken him. Besides, even if we did screw up, we're not the only ones.
