One cringe thing about Zion…. His weight and games played clauses added in his contract… Do we really want a guy who’s gotta have these issues put in a contract? Granted I like the teams protection but don’t see those as “aligning” values this team is building. Isn't this the real danger of bringing ...

FWIW Zion makes $6m more than Jalen Green ($39m / yr vs $33m / yr) so we'd either take on salary or need to include other players to even it out. Both guys have 3-year deals so there's no savings or cost there. All sorts of weight and games played related clauses in Zion's contract. Including a ...

I've been thinking how to fix the roster and the more I think about it, the more I like the idea of a Green for Zion swap. Even if Zion does not play, I think it would be addition by subtraction -- cap space and the end of micro-ball. I also like the idea of signing Sochan and using Dunn as a minor ...

Keep in mind I was wildly off on Ayton. But I think this case is different.

I'm expecting exactly this. He's in the top 1% of BBIQ and it's clear that his work ethic is also in the top 1-10% based on the work he put in last summer. Why shouldn't we expect further strategic thinking and effort from someone who has already demonstrated both attributes? Oso spent most of last ...

As Kevin Garnett once shouted, anything is possible. But I really doubt we will ever see Oso learn to fluidly shoot jump shots at a high percentage. He would have to totally reconstruct his shooting form from the ground up. Such a thing has happened before, but it would take months, years of ...

Nice recap on Oso. I love his game and what he brings to the team. Hope he's here for a long time but we also shouldn't overestimate him or rely on him as a starter because that's putting him at a disadvantage. He could be the perfect backup C with some spot starts here and there. I still don't ...

Zion is just way better when he actually plays

But...he doesn't The bet is that a forced change of scenery will wake him up.

Yeah I know Zion is flawed and arguably damaged goods. But he had a decent season and NO isn't going to send out assets like picks just to give him away. I think he's a stay-away at this point, too risky to take on, too valuable / commands too high a price from his current team. Green's a flawed ...

Here's an article by Gerald Bourquet about the Suns' options for re-signing Collin Gillespie.

Sounds about right to me

Now, this is the kind of trade that could make sense. I don't like how Murray is older but he's not looking for a giant contract. And if we're keeping Book, they would be on identical timelines. https://www.brightsideofthesun.com/suns-rumors/104022/dejounte-murray-jalen-green-trade-analysis-point ...

What's up with all of these garbage trades that are surfacing out of the sewers? Anthony Davis? Jrue Holiday? Shame on BSotS for even discussing these rumors.

I'm fine with that approach, but then why are they bringing in a bunch of guards for draft workouts?

With a late 2nd rounder, I am not concerned about this.

I think I'm going to take Ishbia's comments at face value. I'd be surprised if we made a major move before next season. I'm pretty much expecting the same team next season maybe with a few small roster tweaks at most. I do think we'll be a bigger and better rebounding team just by playing Fleming ...

Would there be any interest in a Jalen Green for Franz Wagner trade? The salaries allow a straight up trade 1 for 1. With Orlando's current turmoil they may be looking for a change. Wagner is listed as a SF, but is 6'10". That gets us more size. Thoughts? I would love it, but we’d need to add more I ...

Yet, his defensive impact, even in his current, undeveloped form, is impossible to ignore. Pretty much everything you mentioned is addressable with more reps and body work. And he is already able to defend in space. I am not sure where the concerns about the lack of agility come from...he's ...

Finally, don't be afraid of listening for Maluach (looking at you NOP). I respect the potential and I am ok with having him but I also can see a big bust in the making no matter what some people say about his character, coachability, physical development, few years playing basketball, etc. Exactly ...

No players over 30 pls.

Fleming Maluach and Dunn gained about as much playoff experience as the fans sitting courtside. They didn't play. They gained nothing out of it. I wouldn't go that far. They were in the locker room after the losses and now understand something about the next level. Maluach, at least, got some ...
