Game Day (Summer League): Suns (1-0) @ Kings (0-0), Sat 7/7/18
Re: Game Day (Summer League): Suns (1-0) @ Kings (0-0), Sat 7/7/18
It's clear that we need a decent playmaking PG. Knight won't solve our issues once season starts. Isn't Marcus Smart still available? Maybe we can somehow clear some cap space and bring him in on a 2 or 3 year deal?
He's an elite level defender too even though he can't shoot. At least he will be able to get Ayton the damn ball.

Can we still pull that Jackson for Kyrie trade?

Smart is not anymore of a playmaker than Knight.UglyTruth wrote: ↑Sat Jul 07, 2018 6:40 pmIt's clear that we need a decent playmaking PG. Knight won't solve our issues once season starts.

Worse shooter in all aspects. Smart does nothing for this team now that we've added Bridges/Ariza. Rather pay Harrison pocket change to play defense and not be a good PG or make a jump shot.UglyTruth wrote: ↑Sat Jul 07, 2018 6:46 pmReally?

Jones and Vogel gotta go.

Ya know who'd help Ayton get easy looks? SDC's guy Teodosic, should he come available, I wouldn't mind him as the back-up to Knight and vet tutor for Okobo.

Good fit. They could also bond on the bench when they are gassed after 15 minutesTheOriginalOriginal wrote: ↑Sat Jul 07, 2018 6:54 pmYa know who'd help Ayton get easy looks? SDC's guy Teodosic, should he come available, I wouldn't mind him as the back-up to Knight and vet tutor for Okobo.

Harrison is elite and Okobo has been good defending the ball.
Bridges, Reed, and Jackson are all great defenders on the wing.
Bender is ok and Ayton has been good too.

It's funny how so many people on RealGM were insistent on not including Josh Jackson in any Kawhi deals even if Kawhi agreed to re-sign with the Suns

If he were willing to re-sign here, sure I would pull the trigger, but he's given every indication that he only has eyes for LA, so it's a moot point.

They don't want to ruin his confidence.

I'm guessing Ainge still takes Tatum.

It was really rough. He could almost do nothing right. How many years before he learns to not travel before putting the ball down?TheOriginalOriginal wrote: ↑Sat Jul 07, 2018 5:14 pmSigh.. I really wanna root for Bender, I really do, but c'mon kid.

The encouraging thing is that the Suns played really good defense for the entire game. Even though they couldn't score in the first half, they hung in there and had another 3rd quarter run like yesterday. The defense kept them in it in the meantime.
