    Maybe it's time to reconsider your priorities...you do have a little say so in your relationship, don't you? Ummm, don't you?

    Looks like 47-48 wins MIGHT get you a 7th or 8th seed in the West; the East? At this rate 25 gets you in. Ha! The West is going to be fun to watch, that's for sure.

    Still hoping against all hope that we are waiting for someone to get back from their honeymoon before we announce a trade. Thanks for the updates!
    The worst team ever to make the 8th seed - the 85-86 bulls with 30 wins (Jordan broke his foot at start of the season). They beat the cavs out by one game.

    In 2014 the suns missed the playoffs with 48 wins - and in 2015 we beat out OKC with 45 wins. This year 50 wins could be the magic number, especially if the east is gonna gift teams in the west roughly 20-25 guaranteed wins.

    Sources tell me we're close to re-signing Jrue Holiday. You heard it here first.

    "I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."

    And that's exactly what we'll be doing a week from now. We have nothing to work with. It's not a bad thing. We have AD, we have Jrue, we added Cousins late in the year. Next year we'll have room to do more.

    No, we won't. Boogie will be due for an extension, for a lot more money, and Asik and Ajinca will still be on the books for another year. The raise in salary cap next year will be minimal, probably around 101m, so that won't save us either. Our core is locked in. This is our best chance to strike, which is why we will make a move.

Johnson is just a hard nosed player, who signed a "prove it" deal with Miami last season, and proved he deserved a better deal. Good signing, fan favorite, hard working guy, everyone wins.
    If you Jimmer it, they will come.

    You really don't know how this works, do you? We're going to have less options next off-season.

    I compare Johnson to Crowder with a little more upside. In this market if you could get crowder for 10-15 per, you'd be pretty happy with it. So a reasonably solid get with upside

    Also, that's how octopi talk. They squibber. Yes, it's a word. Shut up.

    I've just heard that Jrue ripped up his contract with us and is signing an offer sheet with the Warriors for $50,000.

    Asik and Ajinca will be a lot more moveable next year and well presumably have a first round pick going into the offseason. I personally think we have to make a move now and make the playoffs to convince Cousins to stay, but if we just wait it out and MLE the right player or players we'll be in a decent position. And can add a bigger piece than what is out there now next year. A little more depth and health and we should be a playoff team. I'd really love it if we could pick up a Thabo or Allen and just take the fate of the team out of Gentrys hands by becoming a top 5 defense so that it doesn't matter what the team does offensively.
