really more about money.
he wants star money but anyone who bid that for him would have risked a match.
he had to agree to the deal so he needed to like the team and the deal all the while expecting PHX to just match.
when they fix the CBA that should be a part of it. how they handle RFA status.
i suspect PHX wants to sign him to a one year deal and then trade him later in the year.
insure they get assets back but aren't spending a fortune for him as they are loaded in the back court.
greg monroe is another interesting one.
not sure how DET feels about him but young bigs have always been overpaid in free agency.
Phoenix is smart for not overpaying... no one else has the money or willingness to push up his value. He would be smart to take the 48mil offered.
But yeh, he will take the qualifying, and they will trade him during the season. He's an excellent young pg, but phoenix is more than ok with Dragic, Thomas, & Enis.
They could use an elite wing/ shooting guard. Gerald Green gives them that burst as of now, but he's better off the bench because he's not consistent.
Love Greg Monroe (Hoya!)... but his weaknesses keep him from getting big dollars. A center (you already have an elite athlete there in Drummond) Who although an excellent passer from the high post, can't shoot (he should have developed a 15ft jumper by now). He's an average athlete, and he's not a great defender.
Very Skilled, would be best in a strong team concept..... I won't say the team I think he should be on, because that is like saying "Candyman" three times.
