Re: 2023 Suns General Offseason/PostSeason News Thread

I really wanted Bamba to be good back in the draft. I bought into the hype about his intelligence and work ethic.

Considering the advertising opportunities he probably has in New York, he has hit the jackpot. Objectively, that's a bad contract, but I'll always rot for the twins. Good for him.
Ooh. That doesn't sound good. You might look into an antibiotic.

Re: 2023 Free Agency Thread

Dunno if it's been said already (I'm way behind on lurking), but I'm happy for Cam Johnson for the deal he got. More $ than Kuzma, more than Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura put together. I'm rooting for him to stay healthy and earn that check. Right now, he isn't better than Kuzma or Reaves. You're...

Re: 2023 General Offseason/PostSeason League News

This league can operate with way lower overhead. One of the problems with the WNBA is that it operates like the NBA with huge arenas, large rosters, suits in the front office, etc. This league can cost a tenth of that.

Re: All Things Ayton

DA did not come out of college as a 4.

That tweet is a microcosm of this whole discussion. Make an excuse for DA that is blatantly not true, retort with sarcasm, then we debate the merits of the retort.

In Ishbia we trust. The crazy thing is that every off-season, his desire to win at all costs is going to make for some amazing off-season excitement for the rest of many of our lives.

Re: 2023 Suns General Offseason/PostSeason News Thread

Pels aren’t trading Murphy…but he’d be fantastic. Based on what we’ve seen the offer would be Valunciunas and Nance. If we could get Herb that would be great Kira Lewis would also be good. What do you see with Kira? I liked him in the draft, but he hasn't really played since his first season.

As long as we are looking at Parker, let's bring in Okafor. See which one gets hurt first in summer workouts.

Re: 2023 Free Agency Thread

Completely agree with those who would like Jevon back, but I think he will get more than we can offer. He has been good for the Bucks.

Re: 2023 General Offseason/PostSeason League News

We’re probably looking at a 2 year window anyway with this group of Book, KD, and Beal. This is not a dynasty. I imagine if we don’t win, things will shift quickly. I don't think so. Beal has 4-6 good years left, and I think it's very possible to move Durant for quality players at the end of his co...

Re: 2023 NBA Draft

I'm very happy with Camara. Looks like he will be a good defender and make good reads on simple plays. Shoot when he's open, attack the closeout, dump off to a cutter if the defense rotates. That's all anyone will get to do, so I'm glad we got a guy who specializes in that stuff. This is the best I'...

Anything that gets those guys to shut the f up makes me happy.

But I don't expect more of it in the future.

Re: 2023 Free Agency Thread

Do y'all think Warren is going to be a productive player again? His injury history is worrisome, so I don't think he will get a big deal from anyone. He played some very good minutes for us but he also looked like he was coasting for a lot of his time on the court. I hope he lands somewhere and gets...

Re: Suns Trade For Beal!

... The other option of course would be to start Booker at PG and Craig or Okogie at SF - C Ayton, Landale, Biyombo PF Durant SF Craig, Okogie SG Beal PG Booker, Payne, Goodwin You beat me too it with the roster speculation, but yeah. It'll go something like this. Lots of minutes for Payne since he...

Re: Suns Trade For Beal!

This feels like an April Fools joke. Beal for CP3 and Shamet? Too good to be true. Next up, Ayton for KAT Are we going to see Beal get back to his high % 3 point shooting? It would be huge for the Suns if he and Book can both pressure the defense from a step behind the 3 point line. Can Beal stay he...

I don't think seeding meant as much this year. Most playoff teams changed a lot over the course of the season.

FVV is is opting out of 21 million, so that means he wants 30. He's a good player, but I don't want to pay him 30.

Re: Frank Vogel hired as new Coach

In retrospect, it's a bit crazy that Monty was the only coach to beat the Nuggets 2x, and he still got fired. I mean, I get it. He wasn't perfect. But coaching in this league is nuts. I hope Vogel proves to be a good fit for this roster.
