The Suns will have near $15 million in cap space this summer by my estimates, including Knight's cap hold ($7.18), Granger's PO and the Suns picks

TucsonClip

A Knight-Bledsoe backcourt is dynamic and just awesome.

Knight is a good shooter and better off the ball. Bledose can play off the ball but a bit better with it. Both very good defenders. Perfect match, even better than Dragic IMO.

TucsonClip

One thing being lost here is the inclusion of McRoberts. He could be an interesting piece next season for the Suns not to mention a potential trade chip as well. Hes on the MLE but is a good passer who plays well in space, especially int eh pick and roll.

Solid backup for Markieff.

TucsonClip

Sarver now saying he wont deal Dragic. If they can get 2 1sts from the Heat I don't know why you don't do that. No way Suns would even give him 5 years anyway. So whats the point?

TucsonClip

Doc Rivers gets worked by McDonough...

TucsonClip

Great move by the Suns to acquire another asset in Wright, who is the best finisher in the entire league (statistically) and can provide some length at PF/C.

Also, Memphis looks formidable adding Green. He is the perfect fit for them on both sides of the ball.

Stevens isn't leaving the Celtics for Indiana... Don't see him leaving the Celtics before he actually get a chance to coach the team Ainge is building. They have 1000000000 1st round picks in the next 3 years.

TucsonClip

First of all, let me say I like the Mozgov addition. He helps on both ends of the floor, protects the rim and Blatt coached him on the Russian national team. That said, moving that Memphis 1st (plus another, potentially) for him is a lot. If Gasol leaves, that Memphis pick could turn into a lotto pi...

TucsonClip

Little late on this but... Lets start with the Cavs.

TucsonClip

Going to be closer to $32 mil sent with Kemp. Great deal for the Padres with Kemp living in SD, wanting to play here, and the Pads essentially paying him $15 mil per. Lots more moves needed, but I think they go after Upton, not risk there. Hes a FA after this year so they either resign him, flip him...

TucsonClip

York is fine when he sets his feet, or gets into the hop. He cant shoot very well on the move. He has been doing a good job of squaring up and setting his feet prior to catching the ball.

TucsonClip

I mean, we have to factor in what defense our offense is facing as well. Obviously if we had Ashley our offense looks better. Same goes if York ends up being the shooter we needed in difficult spots. That said, Wisconsin was the 49th ranked adjusted defense, but was the 4th rated adjusted offense. O...

TucsonClip

Miller is proving that with elite athletes in his packline system, he can trot out an elite defense every year. Whats wrong with that? The advanced stats and analytic guys are not going to grade out our players very well (See Gordon, Johnson, ect. via Kevin Pelton), but Miller's system works. Its n...

TucsonClip

I still want Rich Rod, but want him to change the 3-3-5. Not much difference. Nothing wrong with a man-to-man defense, instead of pressure man-to-man defense. Packline defense is for less talented teams, uva & Bennett is a great example. Instead of a Donovan, Pitino defense which actually benefit t...

TucsonClip

I just really can't imagine anything changing the fact that Sean Miller runs a packline defense and a motion offense at any time in the near or far future. Exactly. Miller is not going to sacrifice his defensive philosophies in order to churn out a more exciting and higher scoring offense. Miller s...

TucsonClip

$20 mil guaranteed only for next season. Years 2 and 3 are essentially option years for us. Considering we have no viable QB to insert in the next 2 years, this is a good deal. Fitz is gonna have to restructure though.

TucsonClip

I had a UA hat that I loved and somehow lost it. New Era (I believe they made it.. New Era Retro Chop), no longer makes the hat. I bought it at Lids and they no longer have it. Anyone know of anywhere I can buy a replacement?

TucsonClip

The BeachCats watch parties have been pretty lame since Nick's (the place you were thinking of) closed. During the Cal game, about 75 FSU fans came in for that game and easily outnumbered the UA fans. Its not the same anymore.

TucsonClip

By conference does he mean Scott or the ADs and coaches within the conference?

TucsonClip

Thats nearly 3x the previous annual average. Salary cap could be moving into the $88 mil range in a few years ($63 right now).

TucsonClip

Biggest game of Rich Rod's brief career here in Tucson. Win and we control our destiny in the South.

TucsonClip

Terrible proposal.

TucsonClip

14-per, if healthy, is actually pretty solid. I don't like the guaranteed length of five years for that per-year, but after a year or two, it's a tradable contract. Spot on with this post. My thoughts exactly. The $14 mil per isnt bad, but the guaranteed 5 years is questionable considering the deve...

Actually, Bledsoe would be able to veto trades and would become unrestricted the following season.

I am still grandfathered into my unlimited data plan with Verizon. I dont care if they throttle my speeds, I am sucking as much data per month as I can get from them.

TucsonClip

Defense is having some problems out in space right now.

TucsonClip

Everyone knew Bledsoe was going to ask for the max, but the problem is that his agent is maneuvering on his behalf. Considering the salary cap growth in the next few years, I would not be shocked to see Bledsoe take the qualifying offer and hit unrestricted free agency. He will surely get at least w...

TucsonClip

We dont know the final details of the contract other than it is three years fully guaranteed. Until we know that, I would assume his contract will look close to this:

14-15: $884,879
15-16: $845,059
16-17: $980,431
17-18: $1,251,245 (qualifying offer)

Total: 3 years, $2,710,369 guaranteed

TucsonClip

I got real creative: Amnesty Boozer, sign Melo, S&T Dunleavy, Butler, Snell and filler for Wade. OR S&T Mirotic, Butler Gibson and filler for Melo and S&T Boozer and 1st for Wade

TucsonClip

Lin being deal to the Lakers with a future 1st and "draft considerations," according to Woj.

Good move by the Lakers.

TucsonClip

I was being told 2 year deal ETO on year 2 from about as high up as you can get. A few other sources were preparing to help him move, but they thought they had him locked up for at least 1 more year. They felt they had him about 36 hours ago, but clearly it was more like 50/50. What is next? 1. New ...

TucsonClip

Post LeBron, Ken Berger reporting stars aligning for Deng to the Suns.

Said this should have happened at the deadline. Would be a good move, solid signing.

TucsonClip

I have somewhat of some inside information, much like 4 years ago. Not 100% yet, but Cavs fans will not be happy... At least for another 2 years.

TucsonClip

https://twitter.com/WojYahooNBA/status/487007554166194179 This indirectly impacts the Heat via Bosh and the Rockets max offer for him. Houston has 72 hours to make a decision on Parsons. They need to use their cap space to sign a free agent in the next 3 days, not to mention completing the Asik dea...

TucsonClip

https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine/status/486878652546973696 Just so we are straight... The Cavs used their cap space on Bynum and Jack and then dumped 4 first round picks (Zeller, Karasev, pick to Celtics and pick to get Deng) in order to get their cap space back. They will have enough to offer Bro...

TucsonClip

I was listening to the Laker Cap discussion today and Anthony would have to take a $33MM paycut (vs. what the Knicks will pay) if Kobe doesn't adjust his contract. And that's without Gasol factored in. Can they move Nash's $9 mil.? I'm not sure how it will work for the Lakers if a Kobe cut isn't in...

Been like that for years.

TucsonClip

I like that McRoberts signing for the Heat. Good passer and he started knocking down threes last season as well. Should be a good pick and pop man.

TucsonClip

Pau for Perkins, Lamb and Roberson/Jones? Makes sense for both sides. Otherwise will Pau take MLE in OKC?

TucsonClip

If the Warriors are able to land Love, they look real good. I think Livingston makes sense. Will split Klay's and Steph's reserve minutes and can create off the dribble and defend.

TucsonClip

Suns and Hawks after Gasol.

TucsonClip

Some weird rumblings about Harden being traded for either Carmelo or James and then small deals using picks/prospects to jettison Lin, then use CAP to sign the other of the pair. If they can get closer to 38-40 million, it's doable. It would basically leave just Beverly in the backcourt. If Houston...

Payne to Atlanta Really, really like what the Hawks are doing. I have them pegged for making a run at home court this season. Shooting at all 5 positions, two very good players on amazing contracts (Horford & Millsap) and a TON of cap space. Love the Payne pick and I think they are a move away from...

TucsonClip

It's all about asset acquisition right now. They'll suck again next year, but end up with a top-3 in a solid draft, likely go for a true PG or SF. Outside of not trying to acquire Hood, I think their draft was pretty perfect. Hinkie is smart, he knows that he has the time to rebuild on his own plan...

Word coming out that the Knicks are trying to move Dalembert and Larkin in a separate deal.

TucsonClip

https://twitter.com/KBergCBS/status/481908089197957120 Adding those picks definitely helps. Just odd to see the Knicks taking on salary next summer, when their books were set to be clear. Calderon should fit in Phil's system, but what is Melo leaves? Especially, with reports coming out that Melo wi...
