What does everyone think about Millsap?

His name has been thrown around the last couple days as a potential target of the remaining FAs.

Good shooter with ability to play in the post. I'd be stoked if we could grab him.

I can see the appeal. Patrick Patterson is another option but I don’t want him taking too many minutes from Cam at the 4 and would like to see what Stix can do.

No thanks. Saw him in Miami and I reckon he’s done.

Wouldn’t mind Stanley Johnson or taking a flyer on Justise Winslow coming off injury

He seems to have struck up a mentorship with Mikal

Then he can have a job on the coaching staff!

I really don't understand this move unless we're not bringing back E'Twaun Moore, which I would find pretty disappointing.

 

[james Dean]

Why would you be disappointed to not being back Moore? He offered nothing. Even Galloway was better.

I agree that Payton is a waste of a signing though, would have preferred a bit more size.

We still have a roster spot and MLE room for another signing of a big. I still believe Millsap is in play

For me one of the shining lights of the season was our bench's ability to perform during the regular season when given the opportunity. As a 3rd string PG, 5th/6th string guard, Moore probably won't get much playing time but at least he was familiar with the team and system, and gets along with the players.

I'd rather him (or Galloway) than a glorified stat sheet stuffer in Payton. James Jones seems to like bringing in character guys so I'll trust he did his due diligence on Payton.

Something tells me Jae and Elfrid are going to need to have a sit down.

It was hard to watch!

Anyone have creeping doubt we won't retain both Ayton and Bridges?

Sarver is a renowned tight arse but surely after making the finals he spends some money, why would you own a team otherwise.

 

[Itsmyshow]

Nope. I reckon they both extend. Ayton before deadline

 

[Gigantic]

He's also a dickhead it seems.

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

No. It’s just fine details being worked out for mine.

 

[RooBoyz24]

Mikal Bridges 4 Year $90 Mill Contract Extension.

 

[RooBoyz24]

Sign Ayton Next. Gotta keep this team together to make a run again.

 

[james Dean]

Good deal for Bridges. Ayton will re sign.

Either way he’s an RFA so worse case scenario is we match, zero chance he walks

 

[Gigantic]

Shamet 4 year/$43m extension

 

[Gigantic]

Sarver needs to fork up the 5 year max and just give DA the escalators.

Yeah, it's not going to happen. I am completely stumped as to why we wouldn't be doing it.

Slow start to the season, but was great to see us get back to some "Suns basketball" in quarters 2 and 3 against Cleveland.

Not sure if anyone else saw it, but I believe that Monty pulled some structures he was testing out during those quarters, might've started to worry about another dropped game. Did revert to some of those plays in the last though when the game was tucked away.

Big week for us with 4 games all at home, we should pocket at least 3. Although I would be a little disappointed if it wasn't 4.
