I am not claiming to have inside information, but you think that the fact that they are going to spend as much money on payroll as they take in next year. In other words, they're facing hundreds of millions of dollars in losses. You think that had nothing to do with it.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
So let me ask you this. If you win again, does that mean you keep the roster together or you can start?

Right. Well, I would hold on to Tatum and Brown as long as possible.

I agree. A Durant trade is going to be complicated because I don't know what Kevin wants and I've learned my lesson not to guess what Kevin wants. If he wants to go to a contender, that contender is going to have a high payroll. Probably. You know, those trades are hard. The Suns are in the second apron.

I wrote a story about the Suns published this week. I mentioned in there, with the help of Bobby Marks, Devin Booker is eligible for a two-year extension this year for $150 million. I'm going to say that again. He's eligible for an extension for two years and $150 million. That's $75 million a year.

Okay. So we're projecting the cap out there, but the cap is going to go.

We didn't have a good year. But forget about that. My point is, is that the max contracts are headed towards $75 million a year. Not in 2035. I'm talking about if Devin gets the max this summer, which quite frankly, I don't know how they're going to get away with not paying him. Because if you don't pay him, then what sort of message are you sending?
