Re: 2024 Suns Offseason: Where do we go from here?

Agree we need a point guard. I think more for 15-20 minutes a game. Having a starting lineup of PG-Beal-Book-KD-C is going to be a nightmare defensively unless you can add the PG and C spots as defensive players but I doubt you can find a starting caliber PG that can distribute and play good D and a...

Re: Game Day (Early Start!): Suns (39-28) @ Bucks (43-24), Sun 3/17/24

Its crazy to me now everyone is talking about trading Booker. This season been a roller coaster and overall been a disappointment but to me trading the best Suns player in history is crazy. What we've seen has been underwhelming to say the least but the season isnt over. Lets see how this plays out ...

Re: Game Day: Suns (14-12) @ Trail Blazers (6-19), Tues 12/19/23

We came out with good energy and movement. Players cutting and easy baskets. Feel like we got at least 4-5 layups in the first quarter. As soon as we made some substitutions to the lineup it threw off that momentum and the team never got that movement and slashing back. I think a lot of it can be at...

Re: Game Day: Suns (14-12) @ Trail Blazers (6-19), Tues 12/19/23

My main problem with the “we need a pg” argument is that it’s clearly not the main problem here. The big problem to in eyes is THEY DONT GIVE A SHIT!! So much of the problems we are seeing, especially on the defensive end is that there is just no effort, no urgency, no heart. They don’t give a shit...

Re: Game Day: Nets (12-10) @ Suns (13-10), Wed 12/13/23

I agree with most peoples sentiments for the most part. This offense has zero flow and definitely has not developed any type of system yet. The excuse we haven't been healthy is valid but we still should seem to have more flow than this. I think the advanced stats look good because this team is craz...

Re: Game Day: Thunder (5-4) @ Suns (4-5), Sun 11/12/23

Not having Booker is an issue and no one disagrees. But we should not be THIS bad without him. No spacing, no ball movement. Way too much KD iso in the 4th. Give the ball to KD and clear out is not a successful offensive philosophy. I think we can right this fairly easily and we all know teams go th...

Re: Game Day (Preseason): Suns (0-0) @ Pistons (0-0), Sun 10/8/23

Overall I thought it was a good start for this this team that has never played together. A couple thoughts: Grayson Allen was easily the best player outside of our big 3. Hes going to play a key role on this team. Nurkic looked slow in the paint. Makes me worry on a big scale how our interior defens...

Re: TRADE: Ayton/Camara for Nurkic/Allen/Little/Johnson

2 years ago would be after the Mavs series. I know you have to respond to every post that says anything negative about Ayton but you're starting to make arguments out of thin air. One winning play in one game.... I even said there are exceptions. I wish I had the energy to make a highlight reel of v...

Re: TRADE: Ayton/Camara for Nurkic/Allen/Little/Johnson

Initial thoughts were I didnt love the trade just because I expected to get a better 2nd piece with Nurkic. After sitting on the trade though I like it. Did we win the trade "value" wise, no, but we added a decent big and 2 good role players. Not to mention break Aytons contract into 3 con...

Re: All Things Ayton

Its crazy how many people still talk about Aytons "potential." Guys been in the league for 5 years. Some people talking about allowing Vogel to try with Ayton and that Monty was part of the problem. What if we dont trade Ayton and he doesnt change now that Montys gone. What if what hes sho...

Re: All Things Ayton

Theres no way its Nurk for Ayton. My guess is Suns trying to pry Shaedon Sharpe away from Portland. Nurk, Sharpe, Little and maybe a 2nd or 2 for Ayton would be my guess as to what Suns would strongly consider. And if that is the type of offer they get for Ayton I think all Suns fans should be incre...

Re: 2023 Suns General Offseason/PostSeason News Thread

I like Payne as a fan favorite type, but lets be honest, he was pretty bad last 2 years. He had a game here or there or a short stretch where he gave us a spark, but not shedding a tear over Payne. And those that are saying Ishbia saving money, we created a TPE, lets see if he uses it before saying ...

Middle of the pack is now the standard for "see heres the proof hes a good player?"

Re: All Things Ayton

Stats wise Ayton looks like a pretty good player. The problem with that is his stats is almost solely based on his natural talent (which he has a ton of). He claims to work but since hes been with the Suns his game as not grown at all, and if anything hes actually regressed.

DA and Payne for Turner, McConnell and Nwora works.....just sayin'.
And we would then have traded away every single teammate of Devin Booker's from the Finals team within 24 months. Under a GM criticized for his obsession with continuity. :lol:
No way Indiana does that.

Re: All Things Ayton

Im sure they've come up with multiple offseason programs for Ayton. Im sure they've tried to show him that he can dunk. Im sure theyv'e tried to develop low post moves.

Its year 5....at what year do you say, Ok, this is who he is. Not to mention his college tape shows the same things.
