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 in 5th graders with ADD run the Suns.
