Re: Suns Extend Grayson Allen
Nas showed very Little when he played, particularly after he was hurt. The Suns were right to keep him on the bench. The emergence of Bol, the acquisition of O'neale, and the need to solidify the rotation squeezed him out. I feel he could still develop into a useful piece. Maybe with an off season t...

Re: Season In Review: Rating
C I was considering a B-, but ultimately, I was disappointed with the team's effort on many nights. I'm not going to blame the coaches for the team's record like many others have done. Too many of the issues seem related to team execution (though I'm not a fan of the clogged toilet offense). Careles...

Re: Suns Extend Grayson Allen
It depends on how he is used. He mentioned earlier in the season that he was never expected to drive like he does for the Suns. He was just asked to stand beyond the 3-point line and shoot 3s. I think that's one of the reasons he wanted to come back; he was given more freedom and opportunity to grow...

Re: 2024 Playoffs: Around the League Round 1 News Thread
I was hoping he would at least last long enough to make the 8 seed and give OKC some trouble.

Re: The Suns Main Issues and How to Fix
I'll restate. I like McConnel as the backup PG. But the Suns can't get him for free (probably have to give up Grayson...Not a good trade), and it doesn't resolve the main issue that people are complaining about: a starting quality PG that can run the offense and steady the ship.

Re: The Suns Main Issues and How to Fix
I still don't think the lack of point guard is the problem. Suns could not and cannot get a star point guard...period. Not gonna happen. You all seem to want a young Chris Paul. He doesn't exist. A middling PG isn't going to help. I keep asking those of you who keep lamenting the lack of point guar...

Re: The Suns Main Issues and How to Fix
This thread, imo, is too soon and too reactionary. Again, this team was built for the playoffs. We should wait until that is over (and maybe even another month to let the emotions subside). Nevertheless, I will say this: I think wholesale changes are a mistake. The team (with minor tweaks) should st...

This is the guy all you want? The guy shooting 15.2% from 3 and an eFG% of 37.0%?

Re: Suns News: Week 25 (4/8 - 4/14)
Saben Lee has been awful and should not see an NBA basketball court now or in the playoffs. I'd much rather have IT, who I feel at least tries to run an offense and doesn't go full Josh Jackson barreling to the hoop, head down, into 3 defenders.

Re: Game Day: Suns (43-31) @ Pelicans (45-29), Mon 4/1/24
This is ridiculous. Book's points came in the flow of the offense. He didn't really force anything. KD LOVES it when Book goes off. It goes the other way around too. Book defers to KD when KD is hot. Book was only hot for the first half. In the second half, he was much less of a focal point, probabl...

Re: Game Day: Suns (43-31) @ Pelicans (45-29), Mon 4/1/24
Every team the Suns face for the last 8 games of the regular season are 10 games or greater above .500. That is a pretty staggering fact. This stretch will pretty much make or break our season. You probably know where my money is, but I'd love to be wrong and see them rise to the occasion. Their re...

If Nurk is ready to play, he should play. It's too late in the season to be experimenting. The team needs wins badly.
My biggest concern for Nurk is Ramadan, which doesn't end for another 10 days. His play has generally fallen during Ramadan.

Yea it just comes down what the team wants to do. Personally, I don't want the team to forget about developing young players. I would have rather had some rookies with upside than the vet min trash they ended up with at the beginning of the season. Also, its nay impossible to retain a vet min player...

Re: 2024 NBA Draft
Here’s what I think the suns should do with their pick…I won’t get into prospects but if someon you love is available just take him…in all other scenarios I think we should trade the pick for a future 1st. Say we end up at 18, trade down with someone in the 20’s for a couple future 2nds. Then send ...

Re: At this point, where is your level of care/concern for our team? In the present, as well as moving towards the futur
I think a lot of takes this season have been overly reactionary and pessimistic (and I admit I learn toward the cup being half full). Thus far this team has not performed to expectations for sure. But, I don't believe it can't change. This team was made for the playoffs where the Big <=3 will be on ...

Re: How far will the Suns get this season?
Suns get to finals against Boston, win game 5 in triple OT only to lose game 7 in a laugher.
