Suns Offseason Thread (Now Collecting Unwanted Vets, Youth and Return of the Dragon)

[Ben]

Not sure if Phoenix is the best situation for Bease, but I'm happy to see him get a deal if it works out.

[Dissonance]

I think it is. PHX needs a guy who can score, and I know he's more capaable elsewhere than he's shown. It's a gamble on both sides for sure. But they actually showing they want him. He'll be able to have the freedom. I also trust Gentry. He'll also be able to play without looking over his shoulderwith shit ton of SFs and a team that wants him based on his experiences in Minn and Miami. Maybe a chance they bring in Hill or keep him close with org to mentor him. I also don't even think Bease's personality and problems are as big as everyone makes it. Was said to be a good teammate in Minn.


A lot better than Detroit, who was rumored then denied.

Now, I'm just repeating myself about Beasley. I'm done arguing lol.

[chilltown]

I find myself sneaking away during this vacation to chase updates on these FA moves. Want to see something happen. Hoping Beasley and Shump are in the fold by the end of the night... well, agreed to at least.

[Wade County]

I think the thing with Mike is, is that he is a confidence player. He had an amazing stretch about 18 months ago when he first jointed the T-Wolves where he was dominating. 22 and 7 on 48% shooting in like 33 minutes. He was dominating. Then he injured his ankle, tried to come back and didnt have the same explosion and kept re-injuring himself. Still finished the year averaging 19 and 5. Then this season we had the lockout, he started the season a bit slow, got injured, then got in Adelman's dog house.

The kid has had over 30 minutes per game in only 1 season so far. If someone commits to him as their starting SF and a go to scorer, he'll reward them I feel.

Give him 33-35 minutes per night, he'll get you 20 and 6/7.

No shit. But I don't think he's getting that from anyone. They might come close enough.

Just going up online: Michael Beasley has committed to sign with Phoenix Suns on a three-year, $18 mil, sources close to situation tell ESPN

[chilltown]

Today is a good day still no matter how you slice it. We went from a team with no real assets to a team with tools to work with.

In 28 games with the rockets as a starter Goran averaged 18.0ppg 8.4apg and 1.8 spg. Have to figure things would go up in this system. Plus, he has always been a very nice defender. THAT is what I'm looking forward to.

Now I hope the front office puts the moves on Mayo just in case, but I do feel that Nola will move Gordon because he wants to be here and and simply told them he doesn't want to play for them anymore.

[Hyperion]

Nash just Benedict Arnold'ed the Suns. This was about as bad as it could get.

[Diable]

Nash figured out a way that he could make a great deal of money and be in a competitive situation. I can not blame him for it really. Anywhere else he'd have had to have picked one or the other. Toronto would have been a first round exit probably. He loses a ton of money in Miami and I don't think he really wanted to play with Melo and this version of Amare. Those guys just are not great fits with Nash.
