Cujo Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Adding Beal puts them $5$M over the cap. Virtually no bench players signed. And i've never heard of Josh Okogie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 The Suns are still too top-heavy. I could be eating my own words this time next year, but I think this is going to blow up in their faces. It will all be a waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been hearing that they’ll be trading Ayton before Thursday, picking up some capital and a couple players that can save them some money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there has to be a relocation, it probably won't be to Seattle or Las Vegas because the NBA may want to save those for expansion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I don't know if it changes the NBA's plan to expand if they were shipped off to Seattle. The addition of two more teams to get to 32 seems like a given.

BBTV Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 They're not going to move a team to Seattle and forego a $1B expansion fee. There's also almost no way someone is going to pay to buy a team and then pay a huge relocation fee that would make up for the loss of the expansion money. The story says that they're re-upping their lease in the Smoothie King arena till 2030, so it's moot anyway since Seattle will have a team by then (or I'll eat my hat) and LV likely will too. I think the owners would choose sacrificing the Pelicans in exchange for raking in $2B in expansion fees. If/when the Pelicans are sold and/or move, it will be to some "unsexy" place with an arena but without the cache of Seattle and LV. Like Kansas City and their Sprint Center. Something like that.

I can't believe it's been that long. There's kids with learner's permits that weren't alive when the Sonics played. Theirs and Browns 1.0 were probably the most heartbreaking moves of my lifetime. Not that any move isn't heartbreaking for the fans affected, but as fans of the sport, losing those franchises hurt, regardless of what team you rooted for. For me, the closest thing would be the Buffalo Braves or New Orleans Jazz (I was technically alive, but no memory), and maybe the KC Scouts or Cleveland Barons. The biggest moves that I was alive for but have no recollection of the teams in their more-famous homes would be the Oakland Raiders 1.0 and Baltimore Colts. Maybe a few NBA moves that nobody cared about. The first relocation that I vividly remember was the St. Louis Cardinals to Phoenix in '88. I remember reading about it in SI, and also hearing a lot on the local news because the Eagles then-current owner nearly lost the Eagles due to gambling debts and was going to sell to Phoenix investors to pay them off, then "the guy in France" bought the Eagles (then sold to Jeff Lurie.) 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."
