[Look2Me4Guidance]

Will defer to local Sunnies like Look2Me4Guidance but he's an excellent finisher more than post beast. Low free throw numbers offer a clue.

Anywhere inside 15-18 feet he is an elite finisher though, so does offer some spacing and good P & R partner. Could probably stand to try dunking on fools a little more, but his touch is that good that he tends to avoid contact.

Defensively very good. Perhaps not at Gobert's level there, but much more rounded game at the other end. If he doesn't get max, he'll get near enough.

Averaged 16/12 in the playoffs on 66% shooting.

He has the 3 ball range, but with the bevy of shooters the Suns have it’s not needed.

SoS is right, you’d like to see him throw it down more often but the amount of errant passes he catches and still finishes is sublime.

Defensively he’s the best centre Phoenix has had in 3 decades.

Mikal Bridges 4/90 extension. Likeable

Does anyone do Fantasy BBall? We had our draft on Saturday night, and I had pick #2.

I'd have taken my man the Joker with my pick, but of course he went #1.

Suns not coming to terms with Ayton on an extension. Extremely unlikeable

Not a surprise. He wanted the max doubt he'd have taken less, he's not quite there based on performance so far. If he shows out this year then he'll get it, if not, he'll have to settle for less.

Giving Landry Shamet $43 mil too...

Strange things are afoot at the Talking Stick Suns arena

It’s the Footprint Center now.

If I see Mick Porter Jnr getting the max and I don’t. I’m not feeling the love

 

[Son of Skeletor]

Huerter not hurting as he gets a cool $65 mil, Grayson Allen also pocketing $20 mil.

Some notable extension absentees, apart from Ayton:

Sexton
Bagley
Bamba
Bridges (the Hornets one)
DiVincenzo
Simons

Yeah i do. I had the number 1 pick for the draft and then come draft time they didn't modify the picks so it had me at pick 9 so i decided to tank the season and ruin it for the league. I decided to go with a theme. Don't heck with people's picks when they earn the 1 pick.

Nice one Ned Guy

Nice one Ned Guy

Sounds more like he adopted the Carlton circa 2002 approach.

"You want to take away my #1 pick? Fine, I'll show you what really bad looks like!"

I'll allow it

Good for Shamet getting the bag, wild career so far.

But 4/44 vs. Korkmaz 3/15, who was also available in the summer, is pretty wild.

Shamet especially showing the benefit of being a capable player on a team that is over the cap and has no choice but to pay players that they have. Espeically with Kyrie going all anti vax.

Nets have to keep him. He plays well alongside their stars in that can hit threes and defend. $44m for 4 years. Thank you!

Shamet was traded to the Suns.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Shamet was traded to the Suns.

Why would you give shamet 40m and not pay Ayton.

Corner stone who got them a couple wins froma ring

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Shamet was traded to the Suns.

s**t. Then he's definitely got it good. Ayton will be getting pissed. Hope he comes out and takes the league apart.

Huerter not hurting as he gets a cool $65 mil, Grayson Allen also pocketing $20 mil.

Red Velvet gets paid. Many extra millions from a few good playoff games I bet.

Didn't antivax boi get 207 million dollars? That's gotta be pretty close to max.

Hopefully Allen can force his way into the bucks best5

Didn't realise Gafford earned himself $40 mil today too.

Given he's contracted for five years now, could average out nicely.
