Re: All Things Ayton

Honestly, it would only be all the more disappointing if Ayton’s stats somehow didn’t improve in Portland. He’ll play a more refined role and will have more opportunities to display his abilities, but it almost surely will not translate into wins. I wish him all the best (except when he plays agains...

Re: 2023 General Offseason/PostSeason League News

Great analysis! Jrue was so bothersome whenever he would guard either Book or Paul. Their perimeter defense will suffer greatly with the loss of him as well as Allen. Beal and Book will feast on them and make Lillard work hard defensively. I have to admit that I do like how we stack up against them,...

If it comes down to a shootout, I must say I love our chances. Can’t wait for the season to start lol.

Re: 2023 General Offseason/PostSeason League News

Am I the only one who thinks we match up better against Milwaukee now than we did prior to the trade? Who is guarding Beal and Book on that squad? I’m a little more concerned about where Jrue lands. Not sure I buy the Bucks being the favorites to win the title.

Re: Countdown Thread - 65 Days Until Preseason Opens

The Diamondbacks have certainly had a rollercoaster of a season. They had such a strong first half but unfortunately were not able to maintain that level of play for the remainder of the season. Corbin Carroll is an absolute stud and we have a promising young core that can not only (hopefully) lead ...

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

I was cautiously optimistic entering the season about Ayton finally putting it all together under Vogel and playing with maximum effort consistently, but I’m relieved in a way that I won’t have to be concerned about it with him gone. I think Nurkic can be solid for us and am hopeful he can at least ...

Re: 2023 General Offseason/PostSeason League News

I am in agreement with all of you on that one. I definitely think having another ball handler would greatly benefit this team. While I do not condone Allen’s dirty antics, I will acknowledge his skillset is much needed for any contender. Having said that, a lot of what he’d provide could be replicat...

Re: 2023 General Offseason/PostSeason League News

Would you guys be in favor of swapping Grayson Allen for T.J. McConnell? Love him or hate him, Allen has some game and has been a reliable 3-point shooter over the course of his career.

Re: 2023 Suns General Offseason/PostSeason News Thread

I think it’s going to be Harden to Clips, Jrue to Philly and a couple of picks and clips collection of expiring contracts to Portland. That trade makes a ton of sense for all parties involved. Harden to Clippers has been a topic of discussion for a while. Swapping him for Jrue would be such a massi...

Re: 2023 Suns General Offseason/PostSeason News Thread

Harden really doesn’t fit the Heat culture whatsoever. Miami just has not had a successful offseason. I was thinking desperation might strike after witnessing a rival swoop in and land the player they have coveted the last few months (admittedly, that doesn’t really describe the personality of Pat R...

You’ll have to excuse my ignorance, but what is the best way to catch all Suns games? I am considering resubscribing to YouTube TV for the nationally broadcasted games, but would it also feature the local games and the games we aren’t playing on national TV? Welcome SunsShine! No, local broadcasts ...

Re: 2023 Suns General Offseason/PostSeason News Thread

Do any of you think Miami might target Harden after striking out on Beal and now Lillard? It goes without saying Harden has not been happy in Philly all summer. That’s going to create quite a toxic environment for them if they don’t trade him away.

Re: 2023 General Offseason/PostSeason League News

Pretty wild that Booker is now the last remaining player from the 2021 Finals squad. So much has changed over the last 2+ years, but I’m just as excited for the season to start as I have ever been.

Re: All Things Ayton

How did we not out muscle Washington for Beal? We got him for CP3 and 2nd round picks…and they took Shamet and had to throw in Goodwin We did have the fortune of Beal having a NTC, which allowed him to dictate where he wanted to go and what pieces he got traded for. I definitely think we sold the f...
