2025 Suns Offeason News
Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News
Are we willing to give Mikal $40/year on an extension? He's dipped a lot since leaving Phx IMO, or maybe he's just been exposed a bit being asked to take on more offensive responsibility. Either way, that's a lot of money for a 3rd/4th option.
And while we'd be getting KAT and Mikal, it would hurt to see Dunn go. I think he's exactly the kind of wing you need in the NBA these days.

I don't want Bridges personally, he's not worth the money. Id rather keep Dunn.
Love, Hurts.
Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News
I would love to have Bridges back. But I don't see how we could swing a Bridges / KAT trade for KD. Towns already makes $49m to KD's $51m, and as a 2nd apron team we cannot bundle multiple players into one trade, so I don't think we could package all that together.ShelC wrote: ↑Wed Jun 04, 2025 7:21 amAre we willing to give Mikal $40/year on an extension?

You can always trade KAT for draft picks later.

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News
Sure, but I don't think he'd have a very robust market, something about lazy bigs really doesn't rub a lot of teams the right way. So I'm not sure what he'd garner in return.
Love, Hurts.

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News
I would also rather keep Dunn than Mikal, especially when considering money, but Dunn needs to be a better shooter to be exactly the kind of wing you need. He did make steps in that space down the stretch of the season so he could get there. And I hope he does with the Suns.ShelC wrote: ↑Wed Jun 04, 2025 7:21 amAre we willing to give Mikal $40/year on an extension?

Not that it means anything, but The Ringer has published its NBA Top 100 Players list. They rank Durant at #14, Booker at #19, Beal at #100 (lol).

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News
The time to trade Durant is obviously now while he still have multiple suitors, and a lot of value. They can always hold off on Booker and trade him later if they choose to.
Beal? Ungh.

Am I the only one that would rather have Cam Johnson back than Mikal Bridges at their respective expected dollar values?
Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News
I was thinking about that. He'd have to be the 3 tho, not a 4 fulltime.

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News
At least Jase doesn’t seem a bad prospect. If he was 6”4 or 6’5 he’s probably a top ten pick but the dude is tiny. I think the combine said he was 5’8”

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News
I was just joking but the combine actually said he’s 6’1 in shoes. So that means he’s probably 5’7” or somethingTOO wrote: ↑Wed Jun 04, 2025 8:05 pmWhat?
