Re: NBA trade rumors I think Frye wants to make more than our measily $5 million. I think MM is probably right that Frye would like to play on a better team than the Suns. (Who wouldn't?) Still not all that interested.
Re: NBA trade rumors Frye loves phoenix and Portland. He would take the mle to come here if phoenix doesn't pony up more. He could eat up most of the Aldridge and Lopez backup minutes. Is a great scorer off the bench
Re: NBA trade rumors Frye should stay in Phoenix and make his $6.8M one more season before downshifting to $5M per. If money doesn't matter, then he's a true Portlandia as advertised.
Re: NBA trade rumors Well stated. Stotts actually said something very similar to this the other night on courtside. Essentially individual defense is nice, but not as key to success as the team working together playing solid team defense.
Re: NBA trade rumors They can play together; now if you're also concerned about getting Freeland some minutes...
Re: NBA trade rumors I doubt he'll get more than the $6.8m/year he gave up. I see 4 years/$20m as the best he'll do. Take the security over the vet minimum he'd receive after next year. He's 31 years old, he's still an atrocious defender, and he has a per/36 rebounding of 6.5. He's not going to get a lot of money per year. PHX may have made the playoffs with a better starting PF.
Re: NBA trade rumors I like trob, he is just a garbage player. Frye can fill in for lamarcus when he is out of the game and spread the floor. Frye is a great guy and he fits stotts offense much better than trob
Re: NBA trade rumors IMO neither one is good and we can do better than either, lets aim a little higher as opposed to mediocrity
Re: NBA trade rumors LMAO @ people thinking we should use our MLE on Frye. I would be hard pressed to even give him the BAE. Talk about the definition of mediocrity. There are plenty of better players to go for than Frye.
Re: NBA trade rumors The guy had a decent year and fits our offense. Name these better options.... Frye loves it here and would actually listen if we called Also don't the spurs sign undervalued guys to fit a system? Frye fits stotts system as good as anyone available.
Re: NBA trade rumors Diaw wouldn't leave san Antonio for us. Hill maybe. Kaman can't stay healthy. I'd sign him to the bae over Frye and be content though
Re: NBA trade rumors @ESPNSteinLine: Hearing: Knicks have explored possibility of swapping Iman Shumpert for late first-round pick heading into Thursday's draft
Re: NBA trade rumors DeJuan Blair is another to consider, Jordan Hill is my preference as a PF/C, very good fit IMO with LMA and Rolo
Re: NBA trade rumors No thanks on Blair. The guy can't jump at all and we don't need another bad knees guy around our team. I'm just waiting for his knees to implode
