Then trade 31 and Little for Tari Eason.

Houston isn't moving Eason unless it is for a high level impact player, or in a move for a star.

Can Edey play in our system? We don’t throw the ball to a low post big. Can he screen and roll? Is he a lob threat? Can he catch a bounce pass? Can he dribble or pass out of the short roll? Can he play up at the level on defense? I don’t question his ability to be at least a decent low post player,...

What do you think of Tristan da Silva?

Very solid option at 22. James Jones type of player too.

I agree that the pairing isn't optimal, but I am also rolling my eyes at Garland. With Mitchell out of the lineup in Game 5, Garland stunk. So any "him or me" convos should be met with laughter.

Eubanks’ defense was worse than I thought it would be and he’s not a good defensive rebounder. He just doesn’t have a good feel for the game. It’s not about getting him the ball late in the clock, it’s about getting him the ball where he has to make decisions on the fly. He’s limited to catching an...

I like having the option of having a big like Nurk, especially when going up against Denver, but I also think the Suns would be better off at center with Mo Bamba and/or Andre Drummond. There is a lot pieces on the roster that need to be cleared out. It doesn't make any sense to have Devin Booker, B...

Suns traded for David Roddy. My question is will he ever develop ? Will he get minutes ? Can he just be a facilitator for this team and bring the ball up to set up KD, Book, and Beal ? Will he be traded ? I've wondered about Roddy too. But he isn't a facilitator. I think he could be contributor for...

President of basketball operations and general manager James Jones explained why the move to fire Vogel was about timing. He also ultimately laid blame on Vogel, because he saw “inconsistency in our competitive nature.” As in, the coaching change was as simple as reaching its players, the Big Three...

It is still baffling that Bud was a dead man walking in Milwaukee the year the Suns faced them in the finals, and winning it all is the only thing that bought him more time there. I know they felt the franchise was underachieving with him, but I never thought he was the problem. And Milwaukee still ...

Just like you were "proud" of the 49-win season your awesome roster delivered?

I think Eubanks is fine if you play him with a point guard and your superstars stop passing it to him with the shot clock running down and his back is to the basket.

I think he is definitely attainable at the vet min. He wasn't good for the Lakers; I don't think he is going to have many suitors willing to give him more than the minimum.

No chance Thunder say no to Book for Jalen Williams or Chet.

The Thunder aren't trading Chet for Booker.

I don't blame Beal for the team's woes. But certainly building your team around three offense-first veteran stars, two of them old and/or injury-prone, and then filling out the rest of the roster with offense-only gunners isn't a recipe for a "scrappy as hell" team that will "play wi...

Some interesting points here: https://arizonasports.com/story/3547031/suns-hope-frank-vogel-exit-fixes-broken-team-dynamic/ Vogel at his opening press conference in June said “our number one habit we develop all year is that we have to play harder and tougher and with more hustle than our opponents...

As much as I'd love to have Myers, you'd think we'd figure out hiring the GM first before hiring a new coach. You could end up hiring a Coach that doesn't even fit the new GM's vision and potentially giving them one more thing to undo later. That tells me that the GM position is already figured out...

Also, you think the big 3 are playing more together next year? Pfft, fat chance. It will be less than 25 games and predict one of them out for an extended time… like 3-4 months. Probably booker. This is literally the definition of insanity. In terms of availability, this season honestly was as good...

It's obvious that they don't think they can be trusted to make a good pick in the draft. They've decided to ridicule the draft, including getting the local media types to back that theory that the draft is a complete crap shoot, and they've punted on the whole process. All this "seventh grader...

The pg crew, are you wanting a starting pg? In place of Grayson? That just makes us so small. I still think Booker is fine at pg, but it would be nice to have a backup pg so he can move off ball at times and to have an option when Booker sits. I just want Book to be able to be Book. I don't like hi...
