Re: Western Conference Round 2, Game 6: Suns (2-3) @ Nuggets (3-2), Thu 5/11/23

I didn't get to watch the game (thank goodness) due to a personal commitment but obviously saw the score. Thought I'd jump on here and see how this thread (d)evolved over the course of the game. Kind of fun to follow it like that even though it sucked. Brought a little smile. I appreciate everyone's...

Re: Is KD coming to the Suns?

I could absolutely see the KD talk being revived in January as guys can be traded. Easiest thing for now is let's make peace (and money), see how it goes and they can blow it up later. I say stay tuned. We'll revisit this come the new year. I dunno that KD will come here but I could definitely see h...

Re: Is KD coming to the Suns?

I'm going to put this here again since seems Mitchell trade talk picking up. This just seems to make sense if we're willing to give up our guys. Doesn't the simplest thing seem like the below, if we're willing to give up Mikal and Cam? I've seen very little about something like this....has Brooklyn ...

Re: Suns sign Trevor Ariza for 1 year, $15m

Give me Ariza over Rondo every time. He will be a great presence for our young guys. Feels like there's a bigger move coming. I"m guessing Warren will be gone at some point this year...keep thinking Indiana would be a good fit for him. I do think we should make some kind of offer to VanVleet if...

Boy, I sure wouldn't want to be the team to pay the max to IT. I probably wouldn't either but all that guy does is prove people wrong. I actually love the deal for Cleveland - think Crowder will be a huge help for them next year and getting that pick is huge. Nice job by their new GM. I think it's ...

Re: Kyrie Irving Trade Countdown

And he has already come out and said he won't commit to a team. Why should he? It's up to him. But if he won't commit to us, that seriously limits his value to us. 2.5 years from now, are we going to be wishing we had Chriss and the pick back, or are we going to be glad that they're in Cleveland an...

Re: Kyrie Irving Trade Countdown

I would expect that Booker grows into a decent defender given the big help on offense arriving, so him and JJ can hide Kyrie. Bledsoe, Chriss and the Miami pick are not going to get a ut a two-way All Star, is not about giving up assets, but how much of them for any given player AVAILABLE. Th only ...

Re: Kyrie Irving Trade Countdown

Just over 25 years ago the Suns made a trade that altered the course of the franchise. I would imagine there were many people who were afraid to make that deal at the time - we were trading for a 29 year old, polarizing NBA all star. He was undersized and didn't play much defense. There were questio...

Re: Kyrie Irving Trade Countdown

I think we are vastly overrating our roster right now and underestimating what Kyrie could do. I'd trade anybody but Booker and that includes Jackson. If they wanted to do Kyrie for Bled/JJ, no picks I'd think very long and hard about it. We're losing Bled after next season anyway so he needs to mov...

Re: SL Game Day: Rockets (1-1) @ Suns (1-1), Mon 7/10/17

I was only able to catch some of the first half but liked what I saw. JJ's orange shoes were badass. I don't want to rehash all the posts but the stuff about McD caught my attention. I've been a big supporter of giving him time but I'm starting to lose some faith. Sometimes when he speaks something ...

Re: Suns draft Josh Jackson at #4

He looks like he could kick the sh1t out of any of the guys drafted above him. That's got to count for something. ;) I was soooo happy the C's took Tatum. This was the best possible scenario after we got hosed in the lottery.

https://twitter.com/daldridgetnt/status/878018722648145921 Good, unless it's for KP. That Denver trade would be a horrible return for Bledsoe. Don't do it. Why give him away?

Re: Around the League: The Offseason

If KP is available you go get him. If Love is available you go get him. I fully expect McD to be exploring both of those options (if true). I would absolutely trade #4 for either of them, but I would not give up Booker to do it. I'd strongly consider Bledsoe if there was something coming back and/or...
