There are a few underutilized players I’d love to poach from other teams - one that comes to mind is Jarace Walker.

I also saw someone propose a Grayson for Obi trade which I think could benefit both teams.
I would LOVE to get Obi for Grayson.

Re: Durant traded to Rockets

I keep seeing people put Ryan Dunn at PF. He is not a PF. He is a SF. Please, Suns, don’t ruin Dunn by making him play the 4, just because you traded for Dillon Brooks. Bench Brooks (and Green) if you have to. Agreed! He can guard PFs when necessary but he should primarily be used as a SF. Nobody t ...

Re: Durant traded to Rockets

The disparity between what we(as posters) wanted and what we got I think is explained by how much the suns valued Dillon Brooks. I wonder if we could’ve got 2027 if we took Landale instead of Brooks. I’m sorry but no reasonable gm says…. Let’s go get Dillon brooks. Ewe ewe ewe. I mean I think you’re ...

Re: 2025 NBA Playoffs

The NBA has got to figure out how to keep its best players on the court. How do you figure out how to prevent certain players from getting injured? Every team has the same parameters to deal with. It's not up to me. I'm not the one with resources, like the best sports science and medical ...

Re: 2025 NBA Offseason News

Wouldn't be surprised to see the Suns target this: Atlanta has a $25.3 million Traded Player Exception that will expire on July 7. That exception was created in the Dejounte Murray trade last offseason. Because they are so far below the tax and the aprons, the Hawks are in good position to use that ...

Re: 2025 NBA Offseason News

Rebounding has shifted away from the bigs in the modern nba. Offences are very intentional about pulling bigs out of the paint and making them guard the 3pt line, and that leads to lots of shots going up with the bigs way out of position to grab a defensive rebound. On the other side of the ball it ...

Re: The Kevin Durant Problem

I just don't understand why Toronto would do any of these trades. Are they counting on KD to get them to the playoffs by himself? Maybe they think KD will pull in better free agents? Durant, Ingram, and Barnes are all forwards, right? Feels like the Toronto offers are just a story to pressure the ...

Re: 2025 NBA Draft

Good breakdown of those guys, Shel. What do you think about Beringer? I don't expect Sorber to be available for us, but as you say it's tough to know where guys will land this year. I'm skeptical that Wolf's game will translate. Is there room in the NBA for a guy who does the same things as Jokic ...

Re: 2025 NBA Draft

What do y'all think about Ben Saraf? Seems to be a very willing passer and a confident creator. I'm not sure his handles are tight enough, or that he is quick enough to be an impact player immediately. But I'd be happy with him at 29.

Re: The Kevin Durant Problem

I wouldn't do the Minnesota trade. Short term, Gobert is the best player coming back. Long term, there is a lot of pressure for Dillingham to develop. You can't say you traded KD for 1 pick and 2 years of Gobert. Plus, you know the Suns would use the #10 on Jase Richardson, another undersized guard ...

2 thoughts: - Any Houston package HAS TO include Tari and/or Reed. - I wouldn't be opposed to keeping Vassell and starting him in the backcourt with Booker. Unlike Beal, he can defend and I'd much prefer that than running out another Tyus-type. Booker, Vassell, and Jase Richardson? I wouldn't hate ...

Re: The Kevin Durant Problem

I don't think Utah will trade Markannen. They are one of the franchises that seems to always need a white star. Since this is the internet, I'll argue for the trade anyway. I do think he is significantly different from Durant. KD is best with the ball in his hands, and LM is best playing off the ...

Re: Suns Hire Jordan Ott as new Head Coach

Bud was a very good coach earlier in his career. Something happened in Milwaukee and they mysteriously fired him after recent success. I guess it's less of a mystery now. Bud is a shell of his former self. Edit: That brings us back to Shel's most consistent gripe with Ishbia's front office. They don ...
