Does anybody think Rasheer Fleming = OMax?

I´m think DFS. Straight line drives, athletic. Omax´s biggest downfalls are that he is not very athletic and does not have great instincts. You can have an NBA career having just one, but neither? That only looks good in an empty gym or against a chair.

Take the dog for a walk and the Suns make two trades.  I tell ya.  They treat picks like a drug addict treats crack.

Suns spent four SRP to get to #31. Lakers went from 55 to 36 using just cash

the rotation depth is already going to put fear in every team out there.

5 roster spots are filled now if you count our TPMLEword is monday morning they snag em and it looks like DLO is the one.
Trade bait:
You have talented guys in Hardy and OMax who looked very good at times last season. Powell is an expiring contract and then you have Martin a respected playoff performer that came here and never found a fit. Got to at least move one so we can find a spot for Kai Jones on the roster.

Now if you want Exum back that is cool but then we need another player to be traded to do that if you really want it to happen.

2 2way contracts with a Pg that may be worth considering Ryan Nembhard. If he does well you may need to get rid of another.

Who was that kid who didn't want to play with the Vancouver Grizzlies years ago?

To be fair, the Suns are not allowed to use cash in trade as an outgoing asset. 

But LA did a good job of turning pick 55 into pick 36.

Yeah I'm not sure how he thinks this will work out for him.

If I was Utah I'd tell him to pound sand. He has zero weight to be throwing around right now.

Pound salt.

So Bailey holds no cards right? He can go play in Europe but Utah would hold his NBA rights for a few years correct? I understand Utah is not for everyone. I think I would like living out there, but it is not for everyone. Might be good for him to get off the East Coast too.

[loki]

Utah is a bad city.

Even so, he's going to have to suck it up and play.

[cow]

Not a huge fan of Utah, but I hope Clayton Jr. works out for them and I'm equally glad the Mavs were in no position to have to make a decision on Bailey.

They can hold his rights for I believe 1 year. After which Bailey can elect to re-enter the NBA draft or become a RFA.


It could be 4 years or 1 year. I can’t remember.

Ace Bailey has had minimal contact with the Jazz since being drafted and has yet to arrive in Utah, per @WindhorstESPN

“The Jazz were very excited to welcome him to Utah over the weekend and that hasn’t happened yet. So he did not go there. Their other first-round pick, Walter Clayton Jr., flew to Utah on Thursday and is getting ready to go. Ace Bailey did not and there’s been minimal contact with him and the team. There’s not a crisis yet. What the Jazz are saying is, he’s not expected in Utah until the weekend and really what he needs to do is be there by Monday when their training camp for Summer League. And if he’s there, no problem, hope his Jazz career gets off to a good start. If he’s not, let’s see what actions go from there.”

This is great. Seems like a good kid to root for.
