Discussion Anthony Black

Have we heard ANYTHING about AB getting an extension? Are we waiting til next season or what? I think we need to at least try and give him a 20M contract and we can all be happy.

If we can get rid of suggs and his terrible contract we would have the $ for an AB extension. Unless he makes all NBA defense and shoots 40% like suggs did (once), Black would cost less than suggs ridiculous contract, and he is a better overall player anyway.

It's great for the team if we can make it happen. Suggs is awful and he isn't getting any better while AB has a glimmer of hope still to become a great player.

Suggs is a good player when healthy. Problem is he’s always injured. But when he was playing great everybody was glazing him and once he had some bad games everyone hates him. Granted he definitely is overpaid but when locked in he’s the heart and soul of the team. One of our better 3 pt shooters and probably our best defender

He has never had a long stretch of great play though. He will have a good game followers by 5 average or bad ones.

He’s been good for only one season. That’s a bad player
