Ish, Saban Lee, and Azubuike are not playoff eligible because they are on 2-ways…everyone else is
Doesn’t look like Damion will be available either, though he’s technically eligible.
Damn. There goes our shot.
IT + Damion Lee was supposed to be Backcourt 2020. We'll get 'em next year.

Re: 2024 NBA Draft

I don't think we have to worry about drafting for need. We have so many redundant skill sets that almost anyone we get will bring something new to the table. This is my draft order for now. I might switch Kolek and Edey. All of these guys have been in college a bit and won't need as much development...

This game just proves that Nurkic is better than Kawhi and Harden put together.

Re: Suns News: Week 23 (3/25 - 3/31)

Couple of things: - 18M sounds like too much for Grayson. He has been good on the court, but he's not creator or a stopper. He's also not a leader or a culture maker. But I would still rather spend 18M of Ishbai's money on Grayson than spend 5M of Ishbia's money on someone worse. - Can't blame KD fo...

Re: Suns trade for Royce O’Neale

RoyO has only been with the team for 11 games, and we've been an unimpressive 6-5 in those games. And yet, the team looks a lot better. The team feels more like a team, they seem tougher, there's a better energy. The team seems to play with more intentionalality. Royce is just what the doctor ordere...

Doc isn't great, but I don't think he's bad enough to affect this game all the way from Milwaukee.

I'm excited to watch our new guys. I also think Gafford and Washington are going to make Dallas a different team. It'll be a tight game.

Re: Suns trade for Royce O’Neale

I had forgotten about RO's time on the Jazz. This guy has been a 30mpg starter on a winning team. Pretty great to addition for what he cost. He can easily take Gordon's minutes when EG is having an off night. I wonder if he ends up passing EG in the depth chart by the playoffs.

Re: Around the NBA: Week 15 (1/29/24 - 2/4/24)

I think the NBA gives out too many honorifics as it is. Gimme 8 All NBA, 20 All Stars, and send home about 1/3 of the guys in the HOF. With clear restrictions on health and winning, guys would still get their chances. This year, Wiggins, Curry, LeBron, and AD would not be eligible because their team...

Re: Around the NBA: Week 15 (1/29/24 - 2/4/24)

Personally, I would reduce it to 10 slots on each team, and I would be pretty strict about eligibility. You aren't an all-star unless you've played at least 75% of the games and your team has won more than 50% of its games. It's just tough in the NBA because there are always so many really good play...

Beal is unlike any player I can think of in recent Suns history. Undersized for the 2spot but has the length and athleticism combined with insane quickness to get wherever he wants on the court. He's a 3 level scoring threat who's been a versatile defender for us. I still don't think we've scratche...

I haven't been able to watch as much this season, so what's the deal with Eubanks? He has looked good the few times I've seen him, and his numbers are good. Why do the fans seem not to like him? What am I missing?

Wiggins was touted as being one of the best 2-way players in the league. He did have his moments, but man does Steph make his team look good.
