Re: Suns 25/26 Mid-Summer Record Prediction

I'm going with 40 wins. If I had to pick one thing as the main problem last season, it was defense and rebounding from the center rotation. I believe that is greatly improved with the new additions. The team as it stands will be worse offensively, but I think this coming season it will be good ...

Looking forward to a year of drama on the Warriors' bench.

Happy to hear this. I don't want him.

And @Superbone, thanks for posting these. I was thinking my internet wasn't working today!

Well, it's not 30%, its 20%. Mikal is a top-level 2-way wing that never takes a game off. He's worth it.

You need to recalibrate to the new modern NBA salary structure.

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News

That is a nice representation. The only complaint I have is that the Butler and Goodwin contracts are not guaranteed (except for $25K for Goodwin), and reports say only one of them will be on the final roster. I would like to have seen if cutting on or the other would result in being below the tax ...

Re: Game Day - Summer League Edition: Suns (1-2) @ Timberwolves (3-0), Wed 7/16/25

Well, I said "guards" not "point guards" but your point is taken. I'm less against Point Book than most, but I acknowledge he hasn't been good throwing lobs out of the pick and roll. Still, Point Book is miles better than the inept guards we've seen on the summer Suns. Also, I think you are ...

Re: What do you think the suns do next after Beal is bought out?

I don't know why everybody is mad at Brad. All these sacrifices he made! He wasn't allowed to be himself. ;) I'm just going to say that I don't really blame KD and/or Beal. The Suns made a gamble, and it just didn't work. I do think Beal tried to adapt; I don't think he dogged it while he was here ...

Re: What do you think the suns do next after Beal is bought out?

I don't think Landale fits, but Whitmore might have been nice. It seems the Suns wanted Brooks. I'm not a fan personally. Even if I ignore his antics, his hero-ball offensive play style can really hurt a team. However, knowing the Suns want to change their culture to be more effort/defense oriented ...

Re: Game Day - Summer League Edition: Suns (1-2) @ Timberwolves (3-0), Wed 7/16/25

I thought Maluach looked much better this game than the previous ones. He moved better, shot better, and seemed to anticipate better on defense. He has a lot of work to do, but I can squint and see a productive future for him. The guard play was once again atrocious, even worse than typical summer ...

Re: Game Day - Summer League Edition: Suns (1-0) @ Hawks (1-0), Sun 7/13/24

I was pleased with Collins in the first game, but against the Hawks, he kept calling his own number just to drive and put up a weak ass layup against 3 defenders that was easily blocked. I had visions of a suckier Josh Jackson. It was because he and Ellis sucked so bad that the team was non ...

Re: What do you think the suns do next after Beal is bought out?

I disagree that Paul is a good choice. He will want too much money, and he's too plodding. The Suns need to pick up the pace, and a 40-year-old CP3 is not going to change his colors.

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News

If he is earning 35% of the cap in his age-32 season, then there will be nobody eclipsing that in that season. Perhaps someone will earn more the next season. So, when Luka signs his extension, he won't be making more than Booker in 2030? Anthony Edwards won't make more than Booker in 2030 after ...
