Re: 2025 NBA Offseason News
Jones made some good transactions and some bad ones. That's the way it is in the business. You just try to hire the ones who make more good than bad.

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News
One option is to split the mid-level exception, another is to trade one of the three players they have available for depth.

Re: What do you think the suns do next after Beal is bought out?
What about Allen & Richards for Kuminga? It would allow Golden State to re-sign Kuminga at about $22 million for the first year to make a sign & trade deal work.

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News
The Suns will have 13 standard contracts after they buy out Beal. I'd like to see them use one of those roster spots for Chris Paul and then it looks like they may be looking to trade some combination of Allen, O'Neal and Richards for a starting PF. That would leave them with - C Mark Williams ...

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News
He'll most likely be their 17th or 18th man, spend most of the year in the G League trying to re-establish himself. He a second round choice at PF/SF by Detroit that really didn't excel at anything, hurt his hip in his 3rd year, and has been out the last year-and-a-half.

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News
Ok here’s my pretty ridiculous theory… If we can get the Bradley Beal buyout down to 94 million(so he gives up just over 16m) then we swap Richards for a minimum contract, we could then aggregate Grayson and Royce together for Kyle Kuzma and finish under the 2nd apron without stretching Beal. I’m no ...

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News
So dumb. I do not understand the strategy at all. If they were going to do it, why wouldn't they do it right as free agency began so they could utilize the savings? What is the point now? Just keep him and try to salvage his value or keep him home until he decides that he's willing to be traded ...

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News
It's "town drunk syndrome." Back in the old Westerns it was a popular trope to have the good woman who though they could set the town drunk or the onery gunfighter toward the straight and narrow. There are plenty of coaches out there who think they're smart enough to get more out of a player, that ...

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News
There's whispers that the Lakers would be interested if he's bought out. To hell with that. If they want him, and aren't giving into Lebron's demands, they can always...trade for him. I don;t see him going somewhere to be a third or fourth option. There will probably be teams out there that need ...

I'm not sure Gillespie will either, but I wouldn;t say there's zero chance on either of them.

Re: 2025 NBA Free Agency
With Lopez as a UFA, Milwaukee might be interested in Richards. They have a $7 million trade exception and could just send second rounders to us in return. The only teams with exceptions big enough to take on Grayson Allen's contract ($16.875 million) are Atlanta ($25 million exception), Brooklyn ...

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News
Beal could probably recoup the $10-15 million a year signing with another team, so I could see him giving up to $20 million if he really decides leaving is for the best. More than that is probably a pipe dream.

Re: 2025 Summer Suns
Looks like Khalif Battle has been signed. 6th(!) year Senior who played at Butler, Temple, Arkansas and finished at Gonzaga. 6-5 180lb combo guard, noted for his defense and athleticism but streaky shooter. Kind of like Jalen Green but with defense? https://www.babcockhoops.com/post/2025-nba-draft ...
