Do you guys think that their energy level seems to be tied to their shooting? When they shot well from the beginning of the GSW game, they had good energy throughout the game, but when they started off cold it translated to the defensive end too.
I predict that the Suns are waiting for the 1) the Butler trade and how that shakes out and 2) after the rosters are finalized and see who is let go(I'm looking at you Clippers). So, I think a move for a pg will happen shortly after those things happen and/or right before or after the season starts. I just don't see this waiting all the way to the trade deadline.

LOL. OK, that's a best case scenario.

That's a very flawed lineup on paper, and it becomes unplayable if, as happened, a) our perimeter defenders always go under screens; and b) they don't use TJ Warren right (which absolutely doesn't consist in having him camping outside the 3pt line waiting for a kick out).

Layman torched every forward we put 'in front of him', particularly Ariza. I don't care if it is preseason, someone needs to grab, shove or do whatever it takes.

We need another guy like Swanigan. He's young but his work ethic is contagious. He and Booker live in the gym. He'd win the Majerle hustle award every season on the team. Dude just wants it more than anyone.Ring_Wanted wrote: ↑Wed Oct 10, 2018 11:57 pmSwanigan is pretty skilled and can play both inside and outside. If the Blazers don't use him when the season starts, we should look at ways to acquire him. Would love to pair him with Ayton. PF is still a real problem for this team.

We'll pick something off the waiver wire. There are a lot of teams with a ton of guys still on the roster that will have to go. I guess we can hope for Milos or somebody decent that way. It's going to take said person awhile to adjust to the offense and develop chemistry. Wish we would have made a move sooner for that very reason.

I’d seriously consider giving Ayton up for him if Milos would sign a long term max deal with us
