Re: 2023 Suns General Offseason/PostSeason News Thread

My Suns’ history does not date that far, you guys could tell me if the team was just a piece away from the title at the time of that coinflip, but if they were on stage one and Kareem was the foundation, even if we talk about transplanting a developed, motivated and commited Kareem to the Suns, not...

Re: 2023 Suns General Offseason/PostSeason News Thread

Either we keep Joe Johnson or we draft Tyrese Haliburton…those would be my top choices. I don’t think there’s one moment in history that definitely flips a title for us, so I’d take something that gives us multiple shots. Great take! I was hesitant to pick one, because I was thinking as you did, th...

Jeremy G, are you aware that, unlike the head coach, there is no way a fan base can be fired?

Bol Bol over Byombo? Bad call I say Eubanks covers both Jock and Biyombos skillset. Deep end bench big capable to produce even after being inactive for long stretches of games? All while keeping it cool about not getting minutes? I said it before, with so many hired guns for the minimum, having one...

Re: All Things Ayton

His release point is too low to improve the trajectory on his 3-point shot. He'd have to rework some stuff to get there and I don't think it would be worth the risk of screwing with one of his most effective scoring moves in the mid-range. Ayton shot better than Brook Lopez from three in 2021-22. H...

Re: 2023 General Offseason/PostSeason League News

Shitty by Portland. Dame has been more than patient there. But I do agree Miami doesn't have the value without including Bam. They need a third team. If Miami and Dame are playing hardball, then Portland can. Bam AND Herro should be the starting point. Brooklyn accommodated KD but got a king’s rans...

Re: All Things Ayton

Plumlee being cheap doesn’t change the fact that the others were expensive. No, but I think it should pump the breaks on this narrative that you just have to give bad contracts to big men, like it's the "new normal." Well that’s not what I meant at all. You don’t have to, but teams still ...

Re: Suns sign Eric Gordon

Having Gordon for offense allow the team to consolidate Payne with Ish for a more stablished player, it could be up to $8mill, right? What rebounding defensive PF is available at that range? I agree with those feeling that we lack size and force at the 4. It would be nice to bring Byombo back as wel...

Re: All Things Ayton

I will say Ayton’s deal is looking less problematic after the deals given out this weekend. Poeltl and López both got 20 million+ Given that any team needs to field a roster with a floor budget spending, having Ayton as your sole max contract or only bad contract (any way you wish to see it) it’s n...

Re: Suns Trade For Beal!

I confess that I don't know much about Beal defensively. Would we say that he's an average defender? A poor defender? Just curious how our defense is going to look with the typical Book-Beal-KD-Diop-Ayton starting five. Ayton has us covered inside, KD is a plus defender, Book has become a bit of a ...

Nice intro... Honestly other than highlights here and there, never heard much from the guy... Seems like a real classy dude.
You have to be a huge over the average patience/Zen/ mature guy to endure playing on Washington for that long.

Send Ayton to LA for Terance Mann, Covington and Zubac, and let him be the second Star every night (given how unusual Khawi and George are both healthy) match Jock, get healthy Saric back for the minimum as well as either Craig or Okogie (or both) and call it a day Booker / Beal / Covington / Durant...

Feeling really good about the team they're putting together. Who knows if anyone will actually amount to something, but the effort is there.
