Markieff Morris signed a four-year, $32M extension and Marcus Morris signed a four-year, $20M extension with the #Suns. More to come.

Re: Offseason News, Trades, Rumors, Etc.

Anyone see the media day pics of Paul George in his #13, sans crutches, standing with Hibbert, West and later Hill?

So weird...so so weird and sad.

My math could be off, but even with the Bledsoe and Morris signings, PHX has plenty of room left to re-sign Dragic to a max deal.

Makes for a fun Thanksgiving discussion at the Morris house.

Wolves apparently posting shirtless pics at media day. Weird...

I would do Waiters and Varajeo for HIbbert

Re: Offseason News, Trades, Rumors, Etc.

That's just because Bennett and Muhammad have got in really good shape this summer. No shirtless Rubio or Wiggins.

I've always loved Varajeo as a Player....but the guy is too injury prone for my tastes. I would love to have him as a long-term solution in the Frontcourt rotation, but unless we have a quality replacement for him if he goes down....then I'm not interested. Nor am I interested in Dion Waiters.....he hasn't really shown or done anything that would peak my interest. As far as I know...he's just a scorer....nothing special IMHO.

And that's the rub for trading a Starter....any Starter in the lineup....unless we have a quality replacement for him....either on the roster or returning in a Trade...I'm not interested in making such a trade.

My guess is that the Suns trade Dragic before the trade deadline now.

MJ in HD. Suggesting watching it in mute though, and lots of Pacers vs Bulls scenes.

They've still gotta re-sign Gerald Green to an extension too.

Re: Offseason News, Trades, Rumors, Etc.

PHX had all types of cap space. Before their recent signings (Bledsoe/Morris Twins/Zoran Dragic) they only had 3 players under contract for the 15/16 season and beyond (assuming G.Dragic doesn't exercise his player option) totaling less than $15M.

Morris twins chew up another $12M, Bledsoe another $14M, Z.Dragic $2M (all rough numbers, will proabably be lower by a couple M) for a combined total of $43M used up. They'll have roughly $25M left for Goran, and 5 other players.

I think with today being the official start of training camp we can no put this to rest. It was a great thread though and one worth having every year IMO.
