Haha. I know, but Phoenix offered him a Max offer sheet and he said according a report he felt like he was wanted in Phoenix because of the way the franchise welcomed him :)

Beasley is a headcase but I'm happy about it. Cos the Suns signed him up to a cheap 3 year $18mil contract unlike some of the ridiculous contracts being handed around at the moment. Gerald Wallace 4 years for 40mil? Don't get me wrong. Gerald is one of my favourite players in the NBA right now, love the way he plays with no regard for his own personal safety but he is not worth that much at his age. Neither is the young Batum who Minnesota just offered him 4 years and $46mil.

I never liked Beasley since his rookie year in Miami... lazy player, offensively talented but no defense what so ever. Kinda reminds me of a B grade Carmelo. But for 6mil a year he is a bargain with a lot of upside if he stays away from the whacky tabacky.

If the Suns manage to get Eric Gordon, they will be a young team with lots of upside.

PG Dragic / Kendall Marshall
SG Eric Gordon / Childress
SF Dudley / Frye
PF Beasley / Morris
C Gortat / Robin Lopez

Hornets have matched the Suns offer for Gordon

If the Knicks, as expected, match the Houston offer for Lin then they'll have $75 million tied up in four players -- Amare Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler -- in 2014-15 .... how stupid!!!

ahh feck! I was 50/50 about Gordon joining the Suns for max contract. But he's young and hes a 20+ ppg scorer so I guess it was kinda justified. Its all to no ovail now.

New York has never been smart about their contracts LOL but they can afford it I guess, they got MSG and a huge market.

100% right about Beasley being lazy and batum being overpaid. He isn't even worth 10 mill over 4 seasons.

Dudley/Frye at SF? Get rid of them both. Rather have a crappy rookie there who can gain experience and has heaps of enthusiasm.

Umm, Dudley has rapidly grown as a player, known to now be able to guard the likes of Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant. Watch him play a little more please...

Not to mention the nights he has 20+ point games, of course some games he's not as productive on the offensive end but he definitely helps on the defensive end giving Kobe and Durant at least some sort of challenge.

Haha, personally I don't like Scola, but they did only get him for 3M, so I'm content. I hope they still get the chance to sign O.J Mayo though :/
