(Gambo): With free agency opening up tomorrow and the Suns in need of a point guard a couple of names to keep an eye on are - Monte Morris and Aaron Holiday. Kris Dunn makes a lot of sense just not sure if he is gettable.
Not the kind of guy you’d want to marry your daughter.
Landry Shamet tho…
Might be time to lower those expectations lol
Who did people expect us to go after lol we’re going to be shopping at the dollar store for the rest of our roster. All the guys we sign are going to have flaws and tbh these two are really good for vet min signings (I’d love Dunn but highly doubt Utah would let him walk with the rights they have on him)
There isn't even that many point guards hitting free agency this offseason to begin with. Morris and Holiday are fine options given our financial limitations.
Lowry would be the moon shot option I suppose.
Personally, I hope Reggie Jackson gets bought out by Charlotte. And we get him for the vet minimum.
Slim chance but I’m with you
Do you think he’s worth more than a vet minimum at this point?
He’s about to go into his age 35 season. So, no real value for non contending teams- unless like the Spurs want him for Wemby or something... Maybe he could get a bi-annual exception money somewhere. But that’s only a few million more than vet minimum. I definitely don’t think he’s getting the mid level.
I agree with you I just think other teams will be willing to throw him more than a min. Not much more, but more
Yeah, he might be able to get the biannual exception which is what Westbrook got. But that’s like $4.7 mil a year. Whereas a vet min for a player with 10+ years experience like Reggie is $4 mil a year. His current contract was $5.2 mil which was signed using part of a tax payer mid level exception. So, we’re talking maybe a million dollar pay cut max here for him. And it’s arguable if he’d even get that at this point. Also, he’s made over a $100 million in his career to date. I imagine he’s just ring chasing at this point.
Plus, we could always take the Monty route with him. And include one of Bud’s daughter’s hand in marriage. 😉
I like this too. He’s not perfect but he does a lot of what we need as a backup guard.
I hope they can trade Little for him
Aaron Holiday, PG on the If Monty Played Them More We Would Have a Championship team!
Don't know about anyone else, but I'd love to have Aaron Holiday back.
Would he hold any sort of grudge against James Jones and the franchise after Monty refused to play him, in favor of Landry Shamet at point guard?
No, he understands that Monty wanted Shamet to marry one of his daughters. Aaron knows how the league works.
Aaron has refined himself in recent years to be a respectable enough young man to date Bud’s daughter
if Cp3 gets bought out can he come here?
Yes, I believe so. But he might still be salty from when we traded him.
Cut, yes
Bought out, also yes. Until season starts, if he’s bought out after that then no
Gotta imagine he’d pick an LA team and enjoy his sunset with the kids.
I love cp3 and he was huge for us… but we don’t need more old and injury prone players atm…
i think if we can get another guard we can limit his playing time to 15-20 mpg. Should help with injuries
If he’d agree to come off the bench and play the final 3-5 minutes of each quarter or something it’d be a great.
6 mins in the first half and the last 8 mins of the 4th.
Monte is fine, whatever, I’d love to have Aaron Holiday back tho, he was so good for Houston
Holiday finally found a coach that would give him some real minutes??
Monte Morris would be good for cheap. Good shooter and is responsible with the ball
Is Cam Payne available? I’d love to have Cam back on a vet minimum.
I’m wondering on him too. He actually stayed healthy last season, and his vibes PER is above average on a team that could use them.
Yes.
Unfortunately he just got arrested in Scottsdale this offseason, so there’s no telling what that looks like for front office PR if they bring him back. He posted bail the same day.
Hmmm, sounds to be like he needs to be here for a court date anyway but I get your point about the PR as well. I would love for us to get Cam or Monte Morris but I will hope for the best and expect to be disappointed.
Suns need to focus on signing bol bol
Saw him last night , he was chillin , I take it as a good sign for him to be in town rn
We have Dunn at home.
I liked Aaron when he was here but feel we need a true facilitator so if they sign him, think they need to bring in another PG as well.
I would love Monte if we can’t get Dunn. He played well when he had to start for Denver.
He even showed great playmaking and defense in Washington. Can be a floor leader.
We need dunn.
Monte Morris
I like both options. Always been a fan of Morris. Let’s get real old school and bring back Ish Smith.
Bring Goran Dragic out of retirement and he will answer all our prayers. Did he end on an injury or just got too old?
As awesome as this would be, he's simply aged out. Few players can ball well into their late 30's. Dragić is not one of them.
We literally just need a guy who can dribble up the court and not immediately give it away in a steal like Durant does 5 times a game

Aaron holiday is an amazing defender that can shoot well from 3. Ime benched Jalen green a lot last season in favor of holiday because holiday could stretch the floor and play defense.
He’s not a pg tho, he’s definitely a combo guard like you are saying.
Bring back Aaron!
Monte or Dunn
Lets get Russ
He opted in with Clips
Is Isaiah Thomas still on the team?
No
Holiday was good his first tenure in Phoenix but Monty refused to play him
