Why The Phoenix Suns Can Get Good Players On Cheap Deals
my biggest bargaining chip for the Suns um when you’re having these awkward conversations with guys that you know you can’t afford is to sit them down and show them as much tape as I can on Grayson [Music] Al I don’t think a guy that’s still trying to go out there and get his bag buys into that right I mean the only it’s that plus the idea of potentially trying to sell them on more F future right if you do the same thing you did last year where it’s a 2-year deal one year guaranteed player option the second year now we’re looking at summer 2026 right and isn’t that the summer that everything is exciting again and you could be a part of that that’s true I don’t know I’m just saying if you’re a salesperson and that’s what you’re trying to do that’s that’s where you go because that’s what you that’s what you have to go to my biggest bargaining chip for the um when you’re having these awkward conversations with guys that you know you can’t afford is to sit them down and show them as much tape as I can on Grayson Allen that’s that’s what I’m doing here’s how you can make your money here’s how you can make your money here’s how you can go from a guy that’s a midlevel guy to a 20 million a year guy um in the system with these guys if you come here and you capitalize on it is it worth doing that for one year uh you know one year risk to try to bet on yourself I I I wouldn’t be shocked if there are a handful of players that would consider that do they actually do it but um yeah I mean I mean that’s a good point that I didn’t think of is yeah you could maximize that next deal by coming in here and maybe having an easier path to having a greater success like uh like you saw with Grayson I just think that that’s that’s a tough sell it’s not like I mean if James Jones came in and did the Pat Riley dro the rings on the table thing I don’t think it works the same way as as Pat Ry but it’s also like the same way that teams will look at a player who’s gone through a couple different stops be like but in our system with my with my guidance maybe this guy can take the next step forward maybe it’s the same way on the opposite side you’re like well your roster last year that you filled out with those vetman they’re not on my level I can bring more to you I can actually help you win a championship with kadian book on my squad absolutely yeah I’m just throwing out I get it the the problem is like if you you sign any of these guys on a one-year vet minimum deal you can’t then like turn around and have their rights to sign them to a lot more than next summer yeah so you’re basically saying we’re gonna boost your value for this year and someone else will give you your payday next summer or like you know you’re just here for a while on a that minimum that’s kind of your fate now so I I again tus Jones is gonna get the bag from somebody the Wizards could resign him a team that needs a point guard like the magic or the Spurs that have cap space they could come calling for him I don’t think it’s going to happen but he is a guy that’s that would take the ball out of the big three’s hands in terms of orchestrating the offense but when they do have the ball he could also be a spot-up shooter as well um really good organizer and he is a guy that I’ve gotten a lot of questions about so I wanted to bring him up onp
