[orgnpurple13]

Lets put together some realistic rosters that you think the Suns could have at the start of next year.

Mine would be.

Dragic/Marshall(or a vet that we could sign)
Monta Ellis/Draft Pick
Tucker/Beasley
Smith/Morris
Scola/O'neal(or draft pick)

[mdm692]

That is my all out tank for the next 2 seasons plan .

Dragic/Marshall
Tucker/Shabazz(our pick)
Chandler(trade Dudley and future pick)/Beasley/Dario Saric(Lakers pick)
Frye/Kieff
Noel(trade Gortat for another top 5 pick)/Oden(2 year deal)

Back to the playoffs roster.

Dragic/Marshall
Tucker/Brown
Gay(Dudley and Beas)/Shabazz(our pick)/Saric(LA's pick)
J-Smoove(S&T with ATL for Gortat)/Kief
Oden/Frye

and finally. . .

Dragic/Marshall
Lee(Gortat to C's)/Shabazz(our pick)
Williams(trade Dudz)/Beas
Frye/Sullinger(Gortat to C's)
Oden(2 year deal)/Melo(Gortat to C's)

No thanks to all the bolded players.

My realistic roster wouldn't include taking on any new large contracts, trading for older players and/or players with contracts longer than the guys we are trading away. If we have to sign anyone it should be to 1 year deals (with team options for a 2nd year).

Next season we just need to put a team on the court and meet the league minimums for rostered players (team salary and number of rostered players). Whoever we draft with our 1st pick needs to start from day 1. We need to maintain salary cap flexibility until there are free agents available who can actually help us going forward (which isn’t next off-season).

Agreed. Unless we miraculously draw interest from one of the marquee guys then we shouldnt hand out a large, long term deal to anyone.

Signing someone like Ellis, Smith, trading for Gay... those moves would just be treading water. We would improve but only to the point where we'd be fighting for 8th seeds again.
