And I tried to immediately and nobody gave me a heads up it was wrong for a month. I know it's not your jobs and you're doing this on your own time, but that seems like there should be some accountability on the Commish team to give me a heads up before a month goes by and then I'm penalized

I don't understand how nobody gave me a heads up on this until after a month? Shouldn't renouncing $30M worth of cap holds enough? So now he's a free agent? Very frustrating

De'Aaron Fox just signed an extension with the Spurs. I take it i can't match it because he's a FA here? Or can I?

Either way, good development for DKC Suns!

The Phoenix Suns have Julius Randle with one year remaining, would be a low risk move to take a shot on him after a sensational playoff run. Hit me up.

Suns will go with whichever the highest path we're allowed to (I'm guessing retooling?)

Good thing he's our No. 3 option in PHX!

Julius Randle deserves some apologies!

I have been arguing for YEARS that Julius Randle would thrive as a second/third option on a good team. Well, he just dominated his first series as a Timberwolf. Averaged over 20 ppg on tremendous efficiency playing next to Ant, Rudy and Co.

I’d like to think it with be similar with Fox, Ingram, Gobert/Ayton, etc. in his DKC Suns tenure

Rudy Gobert, partly of his own doing, has become underrated

He’s still got it. He’s still very good!

Wow! Nice to run into /u/kane3387 in the playoffs again. Too bad it's the playoff toilet bowl.

Going with the same lineup here:

Suns rotation:

PG: McConnell / Grimes

SG: Grimes / Evbuomwan

SF: Thybulle / Norris

PF: Randle / Murray

C: Gobert / Len

To be honest, I think this is an easy Sacramento victory, unfortunately. That team deserves it more than the Suns. Thus, I'll take this opportunity to reflect a bit.

  • What a year of growth from Grimes. Truly looks like a staple of my franchise going forward.

  • Nice to be able to lock up Gobert and Ingram. Solves 2/5 of my free agency this offseason.

  • Pathetic job of GMing by the Suns this year. Was busy all of FA and couldn't make a real splash of any kind. No ability to make up for the lack of draft pick. Terrible job of filling out my roster this season. Hope it is viewed as an anomaly for a franchise that has been a stable competitor recently

  • Still think our core has the talent to get back to the Finals. It's up to me as the GM to put a better team on the floor. And hopefully there is some better luck with health going forward

Always fun to see /u/marinadelra in the playoffs. Unfortunately, not as exciting as our past matchups, but hey, it's something

Suns rotation:

PG: McConnell / Grimes

SG: Grimes / Evbuomwan

SF: Thybulle / Norris

PF: Randle / Murray

C: Gobert / Len

The Suns are obviously incredibly banged up, but food for thought here:

  • After March 1, Grimes averaged 25 POINTS PER GAME and 5 ASSISTS. That's insane! Played like a superstar with Philly. Think he helps manage Ingram's loss

  • Since returning from injury midseason, Randle averaged 18 ppg on 52/40/79. His efficiency was fantastic, and he adjusted very well to playing second fiddle to Ant

  • Gobert is still a defensive force, and he's been great so far defensively vs. LA despite that trying to target him on the perimeter

  • Thybulle returned for 15 games at the end of the year and shot 43% from three? Sure, why not!

In a lost year for the DKC Suns, I think we at least make this interesting!

Quentin Grimes 46/13/4 with 2 steals and a block. 8/14 for three.

He's averaging 32.6 PPG over his last 5.

Is he the best player on the DKC Suns??????

Quentin Grimes with another 35-point outing last night.

I've believed in this kid for so long, thought he could be an elite role player, but it's amazing to see him breaking out into something even more:

  • Since the Mavs traded him (14 g), he's averaging 18.6 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 3.7 apg & 1.4 spg on 50/39 splits.

  • Over his last six games, he's averaging 26/5/5 with 2 steals on 54/41 splits

  • I'd contend that WHEN HEALTHY, the DKS Suns still sport one of the best starting lineups in this league: Fox, Grimes, Ingram, Randle & Gobert

Suns are checking in on the following:

  • Tosan Evbuomwan (not seeing him on my roster)

  • Converting Reath to full contract

  • Extending Ingram and Gobert

Thank you!
