    Didn't some PHX "insider" post earlier that Gogi was partially upset b/c Suns weren't giving Zoran PT / wanted to send him to the D-League?

    Been in the league about 8 years. He's only 26. Makes 8-9 mill a year.

    I think he's a huge bargain for what he does.

    Gogi is upset because the Suns' Gorilla ate his dog.

    I agree there. But he's still getting a lot of money to play basketball

    So taking a look at a few of the suggested tidbits released tonight:
    -Doc Roc mentioned mentioned Henson repeatedly
    -Doc Roc mentioned mentioned Lawson repeatedly
    -Cyberx says we will put ourselves in a position for Durant.
    -Cyberx says we will ask Dwight to opt out in favor of a long term deal
    -Both mentioned Martin

    If Keeping flexibility open open for Durant is key, then obviously Morey is going to target guys that expire next year or have options on the 2016-2017 season.

    The following guys are guys which follow that mold (Bolded have been in rumors):
    Foye, Gallo, McGee, Hickson, Jennings, Butler, Augustin, Mahinmi, West, J.Hill, Mayo, Illyasova, Zaza, Bud, Martin, Rhino, Gordon, Young, Tucker, Plumlee, Vasquez, Ross, Booker, Novak, etc.

    Now, obviously there is a balance between keeping the Durant option open now and putting forth a contender, but I think we can do both, which is probably what Morey is angling for.

    Hypothetical Scenarios:
    Lets suppose we make the following trades:
    http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=nycqnkd (Trade includes NOP pick going to Denver)
    http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=oovz4d4 (Trade includes 2nd round pick going to Bucks)

    If we can sign back Brewer, Beverley, and Smith for one year deals. For the next year , we would have the following lineup:

    Lawson / Beverley / Johnson
    Harden / ????
    Ariza / Brewer
    Dmo / Smith / Ilyasova
    Howard / Henson

    So, going into the summer of Durant, assuming the following:
    -81m cap
    -if we convince Dwight to opt out and take a five year 65 million dollar deal,
    -Dmo holds off on signing an offer sheet and not Parsons us.

    We could squeeze Durant in with cap space:

    Potential lineup for 2016-2017

    Lawson / Johnson
    Harden
    Durant
    Dmo
    Howard

    Good work, but tbh I dont see Dwight accepting that big of a paycut.

    If he wants to win a title, he'll do whatever it takes to bring Durant in

    I appreciate the work you did but how are we going to have money to fill the remaining 9 spots?
