Phoenix Suns offer Channing Frye 5 year $25,000,000 deal

[Goran Dragic]

Reported on the radio, I'll post a link when I see it.

So they're willing to max out their MLE with a 5 year deal on a one dimensional scrub who had one good contract year and was wildly inconsistent in the playoffs, but they're only willing to offer a perennial All star who put the team on his back after the all star break a 4 year deal. lol Sarver

PS - the best part of this is, Channing Frye knows it's on the table and hasn't agreed to it yet :lmao that stupid fuck should be on this deal like Tyson Chandler on Ghazi's wife.

[HarlemHeat37]

Very sad for the Suns, but it was obvious that some team was going to pay him that much IMO..

Frye's wife is probably the one making him wait for a better deal, he seems like the whipped type..

[Goran Dragic]

Maybe he's playing the wait and see game, ya know.


Maxed out MLE in the city he grew up in with the team he's had by far his best season with. He's not getting more than a maxed out MLE, this should be a no brainer move for him.

:lol

[florige]

Maybe this is why Kerr resigned/left. He didn't want to re-sign that scrub to anything, but ownership wanted this guy for whatever reason.

[DPG21920]

Wow

[Mel_13]

Darko 4/20
JJ 6/119
Gooden 5/32

Frye at 5/25 isn't even the worst the deal of the day.

[Giuseppe]

O & 43!

[Goran Dragic]

Maybe this is why Kerr resigned/left. He didn't want to re-sign that scrub to anything, but ownership wanted this guy for whatever reason.


Kerr left because he wanted Sarver to spend money on certain people inside the organization and Sarver didn't want to. Trust me, if a GM told Sarver someone/something wasn't worth the money, Sarver isn't about to take a different stance :lol

[Goran Dragic]

O & 43!


At this rate you can just chalk 0 & 50! up on the lose-o-meter.

[Goran Dragic]

At least you not as delusional as your Siamese twin.

[Kindergarten Cop]

So they're willing to max out their MLE with a 5 year deal on a one dimensional scrub who had one good contract year and was wildly inconsistent in the playoffs

Not that I disagree with whether or not Frye is worthy of 5yr/$25M, but that is actually considerably less than a max MLE contract over 5 years (which would be closer to $34M).

[ducks]

I do not think that is a bad deal
long but not that bad
proved he can make several threes in a game

[Goran Dragic]

proved he can make several threes in a game


So can most people who hoop at the U of A rec center. You don't give someone a 5 year deal just because he can make open shots and do nothing else.

[JMarkJohns]

5 year, 25 million isn't the MAXED MLE, is it? It shouldn't be. I think Gooden's is closer to the MAXED MLE. Either way, it's definitely too much, Amare or no Amare. Why wrap up this much money in a player that isn't going to help you win in the playoffs?

[JamStone]

I'd let Frye walk before offering him that, but it's true that it's not even close to being the worse contract offer of the day.

[Giuseppe]

Dumbo & Snatch should be a fine show today, providing those GD D'Backs don't preempt them.

[Brazil]

Darko 4/20

compared to 6/119 frye 5/25 is a bargain !

[Goran Dragic]

This is the first of many times where not keeping Steve Kerr really bites the team in the ass. Even from the get go when he was hired and made other mistakes, he never made the mistake so many GMs make by overreacting to 1 good year from a role player with a 5 year 25-30mil MLE contract. 9 out of 10 times, these deals come back to hurt teams well before the contract runs out. When the Lakers can get Ron Artest for the MLE that's a rare occurence, they're also the team that really regrets the MLE level deals they gave Sasha Vujacic, Vladimir Radmonovic, and Luke Walton.

[sefant77]

bigmen prizes, sadly

[BlackSwordsMan]

lottery bound!

[Goran Dragic]

You've never watched Channing Frye play if you're calling him a big man.

[Goran Dragic]

He had you all giddy for a while there.


I've never been giddy about Channing Frye.

[Kevin Durant 35]

O & 43!

Yeah we can tell your broke

[pauls931]

how about 5/12.5 since he only plays at home?

[N4th4n]

Dumbo & Snatch should be a fine show today, providing those GD D'Backs don't preempt them.

Just out of curiosity, do you hate the Dbacks and Cards, or is your hate saved specifically for the suns?

[sefant77]

You've never watched Channing Frye play if you're calling him a big man.

I know. So its 1$ for every three he gonna shot and every dunk he allows his opponent the next 5 years


:rollin

[JamStone]

This is just stupidity fodder from me, but say Amare does leave. It wouldn't open up a max contract slot, but I believe it would have given the Suns about $12-13 million in cap space. They could have gone after Dirk hoping he'd take less to join his little buddy in Phoenix. If Frye accepts, I believe the Suns won't have much money to throw at any quality players, maybe $5-6 million, which is basically MLE money.

[baseline bum]

Would have been ok for 2 or 3 years, but 5? Damn.

[4>0rings]

Spurs love tall 3 point shooters that don't rebound or play D that stink in the playoffs. Spurs should of signed Frye instead of going after Splitter.

[Giuseppe]

Just out of curiosity, do you hate the Dbacks and Cards, or is your hate saved specifically for the suns?

Just the Suns.

You're thinking like a GM. This is not a contract given out by someone thinking like a GM. Currently Gentry and Sarver are basically acting as co-GM's, and Sarver isn't about to get in Gentry's way with a decision Gentry makes. This is a coach giving a contract to a player he has fallen in love with while having no GM to weigh the salary cap implications down the road or to have an unbiased opinion on the best long term interests of the team. Fortunately it's less money, but it's just like D'antoni falling in love with the foreign fucks (Diaw and Barbosa) after 1 career season and giving them both contracts ridiculous because he loves foreigners.

[Goran Dragic]

So now Channing is saying it really will take a full maxed out MLE to sign him. 5 years 32-34 mil :lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

[N4th4n]

Channing Frye can fuck himself.

[Amarelooms]

Suns will sign him...who else ya'll gonna get?? Plus he plays the Suns style....jacking up 3's

[DPG21920]

I can't believe Frye just scoffed the Suns.

[Goran Dragic]

I can't believe Frye just scoffed the Suns.


It's gonna end up working for him. He knows the guy on the other end negotiating is a coach who wants him back and has no experience as a GM. He's reaming a team that has no GM right now, is it ethical? No, but it's business.

[Goran Dragic]

Robert Sarver basically forfeits any power in CBA negotiations a year from now if he gives this contract out. In February he had a radical proposal of 5 years 60,000,000 being the max contract, how the hell does he expect people to take that seriously when he's considering shelling out 30,000,000 for Channing fuckin Frye?

[N4th4n]

He's doing a good job fucking you guys.

Actually he is doing us a huge favor by pricing himself out of our range.

[Jloyola]

Just got a little easier for the lakers to get that 3-peat!

[N4th4n]

He's doing a good job fucking you guys.

On another note, I applaud your witty, deep and meaningful contribution to this thread.

[N4th4n]

You are a god damn moron if you thought Channing Frye's destination was going to have any impact on the Lakers championship chances for next year.

Jesus

:lmao yeah, Frye played SO well against the Lakers! The Suns woulda gotten swept without him!

Don't be too hard on him, N, I didn't say it, but, I did think it.

tee, hee.

[florige]

This deal would be a no brainer if all 81 games were against SA. That jerkoff couldn't miss a shot against us.

[N4th4n]

What meager success my team has had over the last six years is all slipping away. I can see it bleeding off with every word our short sighted foolish owner lets loose. Forgive me if I am a bit tense.

Phoenix Suns




:lmao

[Goran Dragic]

God forbid the Suns be a well run team that locks Amare up before he visits Miami and New York, says thanks but no thanks to Frye, and now can focus on using their MLE to fill in holes and trading Brickbosa. Amare handed them the ability to lock him up early without adding a final year so they would be able to focus on addressing weaknesses in free agency, of course Sarver decided to throw that opportunity away so a team that currently doesn't have a GM would have its hands full when free agency starts.

Instead Sarver and Gentry just wasted a bunch of time trying to get Amare to take a 4 year deal he was never gonna agree to while ignoring a bunch of other stuff that coulda been addressed. Did Sarver ever consider it might have been smart to hire a GM before free agency started? Did either Sarver or Gentry consider maybe finding a suitor for Barbosa on draft night? It's like a bunch of fuckin 5th graders with ADD run the Suns.

Get out of my thread you Algerian dune coon terrorist. Go fly a plane into the ground.

[Veterinarian]

Channing Frye has had a Bret Saberhagen like rotation of bad years with good years. He's been solid rotation player like every other year for his whole career. Take a look at his PER:

2005-06: 18.12
2006-07: 10.50
2007-08: 14.62
2008-09: 10.09

Classic rant post. It really is incredible that Sarver rejects the obvious benefits of retaining the services of a competent, professional basketball expert.

So he's from two countries that pretend to be French.

Lefty, you're pretty fluent in French, right.

Funny thing is that's gonna cost him money in the long run (unfortunately thinking long run isn't Sarver's thing). Yeah, you're not gonna immediately see the benefit of satisfying a GM's needs who he can cut costs while improving the team like Kerr did. In two years Sarver is gonna regret it when he has Channing Frye's bloated contract on his roster and the coach that pushed for that contract is gone.

[tlongII]

Horrible move by the Suns. Frye shouldn't get more than 2 mil per year. Actually even that's too high for that choking dog.

[Goran Dragic]

I agree, 2mil per year is the limit I'd pay him. Fortunately the he saved the Suns from their stupidity. He rejected the 25mil offer and the Suns told him no fuckin way we're going higher than that.....hopefully he finds a new team dumb enough to give him that deal.

Hopefully the Suns pull that offer off the table then. If not he'll be back. I guarantee it.

That's the question. He officially rejected the 25mil offer, that better mean Sarver and Gentry take it off the table and don't allow him to come back and sign it when he flops in the open market.

WTF!? They probably could have used a fraction of that extra 5 million to keep Kerr and his staff. Or put it towards Amare... Yes my feelings towards Kerr have changed over the past year.
