No, they've set their cap on Dragic. Blood is being denigrated as we speak.

Still not sure what the Suns plan is here, but $7 mil for Isaiah is a great deal, considering the recent contracts handed out.

You pissed around waiting on James when you knew you had no chance. You lost Frye, Hawes and the kid up in Utah. And now no Love either. Hey, set you bonnet for Durant.

Big shots. McDonough indeed.

Gambo said they weren't going to wait longer than 48 hours on James because they didn't want to miss out. They waited a week. And lost out.

Let McDonough answer for that.

Lost out on who?

Frye, Hawes and the kid up in Utah.

Shit, didn't see this thread. Houston must have made Bledsoe a huge offer. LOL paying $7 million a year for fucking Thomas.

Phoenix double speak...at it's zenith.

[Xylus]

Still a strange move. Our backcourt is loaded to the brim.

PG: Dragic, Isaiah, Ennis
SG: Bledsoe, Green, Goodwin

I hate to see Ennis and Goodwin lose out on meaningful minutes. I still think a trade is in the works involving Dragic or Bledsoe.

[Xylus]

Still, Isaiah Thomas and Gerald Green off the bench is sick. Those guys can both drop 30 points at any given time.

Of course there is. This is a smokescreen so they don't look foolish. They hate looking foolish here.

yeah, I don't buy this. Bled or Drag will be traded like Xylus said.

Amare to the Suns!

[Cry Havoc]

Phoenix has a ton of time to get their core together. They're young enough that they don't have to win now. Next season is going to be a madhouse with free agency as well.

[ElNono]

Thomas is a solid PG... on the Patty Mills mold... good pickup

[Xylus]

After watching Jodie Meeks, Channing Frye, Gordon Hayward, and Jordan Hill get absurd contracts, I don't think sub-$7mil-per-year is bad for a guy that can put up 20 points, 6 assists, 45% FG, and 85% FT. I don't expect him to average those numbers next year, but he'll be a great 6th man.

[Xylus]

Keep in mind, our backup point guard last year was Ish Smith. What surprises me is that Isaiah agreed to come to Phoenix knowing he'd be a backup. There's no way he takes the starting spot away from Dragic or Bledsoe.

[Chinook]

What did Phoenix give up for Thomas?

[JMarkJohns]

As curious a signing as it is a good vale for 20 PPG, 6 APG as a starter.

Frye wasn't worth what he got, and Hayward isn't worth the Max, but I hated losing Hawes. Younger, cheaper Frye with better recovery speed.

Feels like "asset" acquisition. Suns just signed a poor-mans Lillard at 7+ per year. That'll be worth a few 1sts in time to somebody. Once Bledsoe/Tucker are re-signed the CAP space available only this season would be gone. So use it wisely, bring in young talent, give yourself outs/options, and don't waste opportunities.

[JMarkJohns]

What did Phoenix give up for Thomas?

Alex Oriahki and trade exception from Butler-to-Milwaukee trade last summer.

[Malik Hairston]

There have been far worse signings than Thomas in this off-season, tbh, not a bad move from Phoenix at all..

7 mil is pretty good in this year's market for one of the best "heat check" scorers in the league, a guy that could be a great 6th man..

[Xylus]

So basically nothing.

Strangely, the Kings chose to pay Darren Collison to be their starting point guard instead of Isaiah.

You can't have a 5'9" starting point guard, X. It's untenable. Even off the bench it's impossible.

The Kings franchise has been anti-Isiah Thomas for years, tbh..I know it was widely discussed in fantasy circles when everybody drafted Thomas and the Kings refused to start him until last season:lol..

Because he's too damn short. They wasted their time and finally accepted that fate. Now it'll take the Suns 3 years to come to same damn conclusion. You can't play in the NBA at 5'9.

Hopefully Cousins didn't ruin him.

His genes did that, Suns withstanding.

I agree from a starting perspective..I think he's really solid as the lead scorer off the bench, though..

If Phoenix is looking to start him, then ya, I don't like the signing..

Patty Mills disagrees. He's 5'11" and played a huge role for the champions.

Collison is a downgrade from Isaiah, there's no two ways about it.

[JMarkJohns]

Correct

Nate Robinson being an exception with a few others I'm sure. He has incredible athleticism for his size and his jumpshot and court vision will only get better. I would be excited if I'm a Suns fan.

"We" couldn't stop the Suns with a gun. They're gonna do this and we'll be absolutely inundated with the cute & quaint stories about the little train who could. "It's not the size of the man but the size of the heart." on & on.

They'll brazen out like they always do.

I am excited. No James for them. No Love for them. O & half-a-100 for them.
