But if we’re pivoting to building more for the future, would he say no?

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

Cleveland traded most of their picks for Mitchell. Not sure they have any left. I do think Cleveland makes sense as a KD trade team if they decide to trade KD. I think they’d want to keep Allen…What would we have to add to get a Mobley/Garland combo? I’d also want to trade Beal at that point as Garl...

Re: 2024 NBA General Offseason News

So, out of all these recent overall #1s, it's looking like Edwards is the best. At one time I was really bummed that we didn't have the Zion #1. Of course, we missed out on an all-time great with our blown #1 overall. Paolo is also looking like a future star…of course we also could have just taken ...

Jimmy Butler would kill lazy ass Zion.
Probably haha…so maybe it’s a 3-way where Beal goes to NOP and Jimmy comes here.

Re: 2024 NBA General Offseason News

Just rumors at this point…but sounds like they might not want to give him that extension and would consider moving him…I wonder if Miami and NOP would flip Jimmy and Ingram

Re: 2024 Playoffs: Around the League Round 1 News Thread

I mean I get it when people say he’s the most skilled player of all time I have no idea how that is even remotely true. When he’s on, his ball handling and shot making are about as good as it gets. Might be the best below the rim finisher as well. I've always thought he was the most skilled scorer ...

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

He’s not a traditional pg, but I disagree that he’s not more of a pg than Booker or Beal. Jimmy is definitely an on ball player and is a better playmaker than Booker or Beal. He’d be a better pg than anyone we’re gonna find in FA.

Caitlin Clark had a better play than this last night during her preseason debut. Kyrie is a great player. Most skilled of all time is HIGHLY debatab...

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

Here would be a thought…. Reports are that Miami is souring on Jimmy…they were also linked to Beal before. Beal for Jimmy? Makes a lot of sense for us, but does Miami still want Beal with no Jimmy? Beal has a worse contract and is a worse player, so they probably want a pick too. Does Beal want that...

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

Well the tweet I think is wrong…he was on his player option this year. He’s an UFA. But ya I don’t really see him signing for the minimum. We’d actually have an avenue to get him if he had a player option(Beal for Harden). Think it’s probably just KD and AZ ties, plus knowing our desperation.

Re: 2024 Playoffs: Around the League Round 1 News Thread

They changed the rules a long time ago to match how the game was being called anyways. Players didn’t make moves like the one Kyrie did back in the 90’s, but refs were still allowing 2 full steps after the gather back then. Modern players have just started taking those steps sideways and backwards a...

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

I wouldn’t get your hopes up. Think Beal is here to stay. Philly reportedly will go after Paul George. Embiid/George/Maxey is quite the trio.

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

Royce was acquired with 2nd round picks. We aren’t trading 1st round picks for guys like KBD and Yuta…ya if you have that bleak of an expectation for what is coming back via trade, then I understand not wanting to trade the pick. There’s no chance we trade the pick for someone that bad. Why would yo...

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

Even contending teams keep on 1-2 rookies / youngs to develop. It's just smart business. If you "hit" on your draft pick and draft a future cornerstone, that's way, way more valuable than anything you could trade the pick for. And plenty of great NBA stars have been drafted at the #22 spo...
