1 Unless I'm missing something, CP3 s-w would be 5.267 x3
2 It seems like a lock they keep Payne as the PG, on cheap 6.5M deal
3 Not doing a s-w lands them right about Apron 1, with the 5-6 players they have already under contract plus all minimums. If they also re-sign Torrey Craig (who probably costs about the big MLE of 12.2), they land around Apron 2
4 So when we pencil in s-w CP3, they have room for big MLE, or for Craig and TxMLE, plus a slew of minimums
Bottom line - PHX likely has more to do
Keep Ayton and try him out one last time under Vogel(who’s been good with bigs)
Re-sign Craig to team friendly deal
Then package Shamet and 2nds for a large expiring contract and exceed the 2nd apron for this one year
Nets get Shamet, Payne, cap savings and a few 2nds
Suns get Dinwiddie
Or maybe go after expiring wings. Something like this would be my plan if i was the suns. I don’t think Ayton has much value around the league so i would keep him and restore value for now
