Nick Richards

He gets a player option on the second year of that, 3.4% of the cap on average.

Nick Richards signs a one-year minimum.

[lip smack] Keishawn Johnson, Trey Donaldson, and Vladislav Goldin, uh, get two-way deals there.

So much like Charlotte, this, this grade hinges on the Giannis trade, and I have to say, I, I'm very curious where you are.

Do they view Bobby Portis as a net positive add here? Because one, that probably further buries Jovic's opportunity.

Uh, like he could maybe play some center.

You have Nick Richards on this roster now.

I, there's a chance the Heat are better than expected because Erik Spoelstra's a mad genius.

He went off the market quickly.

So you have to really give Bryson Graham credit for being proactive in the beginning, because maybe if he hadn't, where would we be now? Maybe having, uh, Nick Richards as our starting center.

No knock on Nick Richards, but, um, I really think the other part of it too is that whatever, whatever, uh, you say about Nick Claxton, at least stylistically, he fits in the direction that we're going.

I'm not saying long-term, but at least right now that he fits stylistically and that at least now we have a, a legitimate rim runner probably, uh, giving-- having rim protection.

And then the, and then the other part of it, uh, too is only a two-year contract.

think I'm gonna have to pass on that one Mark's a funny dude I like yeah he is he's like low-key funny

yeah he is and have I think you know I told this on the other show but uh I don't think I ever told you my Nick Richards story

oh oh tricky dicky

Well, it was at Media Day last year, which I believe I saw you at.

richards

right so he's he's in a fight so like we do that we do of course like the like we're like four or five urinals apart of course

um and then we go over so nick richards has good urinal etiquette yes

noted nick richards does have good urinal etiquette and we walk over and good luck on your sat tomorrow alan sorry for getting uh you know uh distracted there but alan good luck on your sat you wanted to say that before you get out of here um but anyway anyway do well do well study instead of watching a show and then finish it tomorrow after your sat as a treat uh so and when i first told the story voida i forgot to mention that i didn't start talking to him until we started washing our hands so it made it seem like i was talking to him while we were at the urinal but i didn't So we go up, and we're washing our hands, and I turn to him, and I go, they don't got, like, a private bathroom for you guys, like, to go to? Like, they make you use this? And he just turns to me.

He might.

Nick Richards? Nick Richards still out there? We'll take

him.

Slide.

Like, let's go.

quality.

Nick Richards might be.

I swear, Lou.

The future becomes the present.

In hindsight, we should have kept Nick Richards, question mark? No, not necessarily because...

God, what was the trade that we...

What did we get out of that trade? I don't even remember now.

It was Nick Richards and Nigel Hayes Davis for...

Who did we send out? Oh, we got back Haywood Highsmith.

So, no.

I would much rather have Haywood Highsmith on this roster than...

Like, small ball five could be the third center option, right? Rashear Fleming, Miles Bridges, maybe even a Dillon Brooks, maybe even Koa Peat.

Do we think a small, do we think a small ball five could be the Suns' true backup center? 'Cause, like, who, who are you going to get? I mean, Nick Richards just signed with the Heat, so you're not gonna go get Nick Richards.

You're not gonna go out there and get that type of center.

Let me look up, let me look up free agent centers, because also, like, you'd have to cut Booye.

Mason Plumlee.

I mean, why don't we just bring back Bismack Biyombo, Drew Eubanks, and Mason Plumlee and just let them fight it out in training camp and just bring one of them back for, like, the redemption tour? Why don't we just do that, huh? I mean, that would be fun.

Maybe we could just get Nick Richards to leave the Heat and come in too so that he can join it.

Uh, Lachlan Ulbrich is actually somebody that's, um, I, I'm, I'm slightly intrigued by as a very, very low-level prospect, but that's not something to talk about right now.

This year it will be Post, who's like pure perimeter.

Bam Adebayo, Bobby Portis, Nick Richards for Miami.

Bucks is Miles Turner, Khalil Ware.

Again, we're not talking huge body guys.
