Re: Around the NBA: Week 12 (1/6- 1/12)

Some team will take a flyer on DA in free agency thinking "he was in a bad situation in Portland, he played well in Phoenix. We can get thru to him.". Low risk, high reward for a team like the Celtics.

Re: Around the NBA: Week 12 (1/6- 1/12)

Gonna be funny when Isiah takes over as Prez/GM, brings DA back to the Valley a year from now as his reclamation project and calls him the best center in the league.

Re: What should the Suns do?

It's just very hard to bottom out and get everything right with picks and FA signings. Always sounds good in theory. We missed out on a decade in the 2010s trying that. Whiffing on high lotto picks, signing the wrong vets, trying to mesh 18-19 yr olds with 28-30 yr olds to compete while developing ...

Re: Jimmy Butler trade rumors

Maybe Riley is being petty but it's also in usually in a team's best interest to wait until the last minute to wait for the best offer. Or at least, let the interested parties know "we're trading him by X date, come with your best offers or miss out". I think the trade deadline should be moved up to ...

Re: What should the Suns do?

It would really suck to have to trade our homegrown star because of one man's hubris. Let's just start with trading KD and see where it gets us. We can always look into Book trades a year or two from now.

If Chris Paul were still on the team he wouldn't be giving the ball to Book and KD and jogging down to the corner.

Re: Game Day: Suns (19-19) @ Hawks (19-19), Tues 1/14/25

Point guard is not the problem!!! It's a big problem. We don't have anyone managing the game or the flow of the game. The "game within the game" that we used to be so good with because of CP. Setting up for certain shots in certain situations at certain points in the game. Using clock when it's ...

Re: Game Day: Suns (19-19) @ Hawks (19-19), Tues 1/14/25

I wish KD would spend less time handling the ball and more time focusing on boxing out and securing rebounds. Even with a Richards addition (or whoever else), we’ll basically have just one guy out there fighting for rebounds. We lack size and willpower. Bingo This is the problem with 3 players who t ...

Re: Game Day: Suns (19-19) @ Hawks (19-19), Tues 1/14/25

I mean a real starting PG who will take control of the offense and manage the game. Tyus is a backup. We need someone out there who can make others better.

Re: Game Day: Suns (19-19) @ Hawks (19-19), Tues 1/14/25

The way we turned TJ Warren into Rubio, we need to turn Beal into a starting PG and center. Jimmy and Nick Richards aren't fixing this.

It's amazing that we signed two PGs just to let Book and KD run ISO offense and turn the ball over.

Re: Jimmy Butler trade rumors

So Eddie Gonzalez is the new flex? Were those the guys the ones talking trade scenarios that weren't possible due to the CBA? There's always going to be posturing going on but Riley's not going to take a deal he doesn't want and if we want Jimmy, we've got to do the leg work to make a 3-4 team deal ...

Re: Suns News: Week 12 (1/6-1/12/25)

Oso and Reath are both 5s. Reath can shoot, Oso can't. I'd love to add a legit big body like Richards but if the Hornets are going to hold out and play tough, I'd rather just go the cheaper route with Reath. We need another big, active body now-ish.
