Bright Side has a list of FA centers we could pursue. Not an awesome list, but there are a few names. I really liked Steven Adams's play on the Rockets this year and would be happy with him. Would we want to give a chance to a Jaxson Hayes or try to get Bizzy Biyombo to come back?

https://www.brightsideofthesun.com/2025 ... -offseason

The article mentions Clint Capela, but I was skeptical that he could be gotten for a reasonable price. I also see Kevon Looney on the list. I used to like him a lot, but he seems to have sort of gotten washed up? He certainly fell out of favor with the Warriors this year.

I'm so down on this team I can't even get myself to look through that list. I don't even know where to start. Watching these playoffs has made it clear how far away we are, and running through a list of bargain bin free agents ain't doing it for me. We have to swing for the fences either a full rebuild or hope for a miracle re-tool.

Bargain bin shopping has always been fools gold…. It’s full rebuild or bust. Just retooling isn’t going to magically get us over the hump.

As expected, Ryan Dunn wins the Majerle Hustle award.

Suns Rookie Wins Hustle Award
Phoenix Suns rookie Ryan Dunn took home some hardware from the team.

One of the very few bright spots of the season.

That's a good choice. Some folks said nobody should be given the award this season since we sucked so much. But you have to give it out every year, and Dunn is the best choice for it. He played great defense and showed good hustle on many nights when almost nobody else did.

He always hustled. Well deserved. Too bad Bud quit playing him inexplicably.

Honestly, Is there any hope that this franchise doesn't take 10 yrs to be relevant again?

Suns 'Dream' Trade Targets Revealed
A lot of discussion has been made about who the Suns could trade away this offseason, but who could they bring in?
https://www.si.com/nba/suns/news/inside ... oenix-suns

Calling Paul George a dream target is laughable but I suppose he would be a better fit than Beal if can actually play but his contract is even longer than Beal's.

PG13 for Beal makes sense for both teams because it lets both front offices look like they are trying to improve the roster while staying competitive. It wouldn't actually help either team, and both fan bases would end up feeling that they got the bad end of the deal. It's a perfect fit for the two franchises.

Snark aside, I would love to find way to get that #3.

I would hate to have PG13 on this team. I just don’t like him.

I don't like Paul George, want nothing to do with him. I'd rather have Beal.

On another note:
Is Paul George for SGA, Gallinari, 5(!) first round picks, and two pick swaps the worst trade in NBA history? It is WAY worse than the KD trade.

Feel like you have to remember that trade got LAC Kawhi as well. But SGA turning into an MVP and drafting Jalen Williams with one of those picks has made it look like an absolute stroke of genius from the OKC side. Definitely one of, if not the best, trades ever made(from the OKC perspective).
