Can the Suns sign anyone to fill out the roster since they're over the cap? This is a really expensive group of 4.

Community's still pretty new and there's not much in the way of mobile apps for Lemmy right now. Probably would have been more posters otherwise. I can't even login on my ipad through the browser, haven't been able to figure out why yet.
Whitmore falling has to be one of the bigger surprises. Think he was still being mocked in the top ten before today. Also happy to see Strawther go in the first round, to the Nuggets no less.
This has to be a straight salary dump to avoid the luxury tax right? Can't imagine why else they'd give away picks and the younger guard in this trade.
Blazers feel like they're in kinda a weird position since almost every path forward depends on what Charlotte does with the #2 pick.
Beal had a no trade clause so Washington's hands were tied even though they preferred Miami's offer.
Moving Beal saves them a lot of contract space since they can waive Chris Paul before the 28th. Kuzma and Porzingis both have player options, but after next season the biggest contracts they have are Gafford and Shamet. It looks like the Wizards owe the Knicks a first round pick, but they have a good chance at landing high picks in the next few seasons otherwise.
So Payne, Beal, Booker, Durant, and Ayton as the starting 5? That's a very good starting lineup, but that bench looks painfully thin. Not to mention Ayton might still want out.
Wizards look like they're finally starting a rebuild on the other hand instead of treading water. Wonder if Porzingis is up next on the trading block.
Kinda think the Suns would walk back on waiving Chris Paul if this rumor is true. Played around with a trade machine and something like Paul or Ayton / Shamet or Bazley seems to be what it takes to make contracts line up.
Who's going to start at the 4 now? Slide Hunter over and start Saddiq or Griffin at the 3?
