2023 Suns General Offseason/PostSeason News Thread

Wow! That puts a different slant on things.

[INFORMER]

I would think the Warriors would want to prevent Beal from going to Phoenix.

[SunsSince92]

If he has qualms about sharing the backcourt with Book, how would he feel about sharing it with Curry and Klay?

[ShelC]

Miami's had its share of stars on big salaries but I don't think they like being so top heavy. And Beal might not be the guy they want to go all in for if they think another star may be available later on. They just made the Finals with that roster, so it's not like they're in a squeeze for more talent with that kind of contract or up against it the way we are.

[INFORMER]

One problem I would have with this is that I don't know how a Beal-Booker-Durant super team is the kind of team you want Vogel to coach? I mean I get it from the sense that we essentially wouldn't have an offense; it would just be each of those guys taking turns going one on one. But does that trio and the two fillers that will be on the court with them, defend on the level that Vogel needs in order for his defense to be effective?

[INFORMER]

Beal and Book play the same position with similar games. Curry and Klay are catch and shoot guys. Klay you can easily bump to the 3 spot, and you may need to anyway with him getting older and the injuries taking their toll.

It's a better fit, IMO.

That makes sense, but at the same time, you're basically adding Beal to the Finals team. Herro didn't play. So maybe you fight to keep Martin out of the deal, but I don't see why they wouldn't part with Herro/Jovic for Beal. I think he is exactly what they were missing against Denver.

Gambo dropping don't worry about PG Beal and Booker can figure it out on Twitter makes me think this is about done.

I still think they have eyes for Dame or Giannis.

If it’s Paul and Shamet for Beal you obviously do that. Give Washington whatever pick swaps and 2nd round picks they want.

I think they could include the 2030 1st rounder after the 2023 draft is over, right?

And I'm not sure if there are any limits on how far into the future you can arrange pick swaps.

We traded 2029 though, so can’t trade consecutive picks…but we could swap it. So I think we’d have 3 swaps to offer

[Split T]

The question with GS is whether or not Washington would want Poole. That’s also not a great contract to take on. But GS could offer more of what Washington would want as far as assets(Moody, Kuminga, picks, etc.)

[TOO]

I don't believe Washington wants any long term money back, I think they are just trying to wipe the books.

[Split T]

Ya that’s the only reason we have a shot. They can clear all their long term money in 1 swoop with us. They could also take minimal hits in future years(roughly 6 million a year) and create cap space this summer if they waive and stretch both cp3 and Shamet

[TOO]

Yep. New GM looking for a fresh start, Beal has no value at his price so its best to just clear and rebuild organically.

Lmao

[ShelC]

Milwaukee makes sense since they're so close to winning but would have to include someone like Jrue or Middleton in the deal. Kinda takes away from the firepower there. And if you're the Bucks, does Beal replacing Jrue make you better? Middleton you can probably get by replacing if you add Beal with Jrue and Giannis.

[Superbone]

Lmao

What is wrong with these people?
