Re: 2024 NBA Draft

I’ve heard a lot of Kolek talk…I don’t want to use a pick on a 6’1 backup pg though. If we keep the pick I hope it’s for a big(Yves Missi or Kel’el Ware…not sure about Edey). Then trade 31 and Little for Tari Eason. Sign Kris Dunn and Chuma Okeke. Keep Royce. Booker/Beal/KD/Eason/Nurk Dunn/Allen/Roy ...

Re: 2024 NBA Draft

I don' think Missi will fall to us, but I wouldn't be mad if he did. I haven't looked at Klintman before because I don't think Jones/Ishbia will draft someone who played internationally, but I do like what I just saw.

Re: 2024 NBA General Offseason News

I have them in the same tier of Center. It's splitting hairs to pick who's better. I don't really consider his 30% on 1.5 attempts per game as shooting 3-pointers better than Nurk. Technically it's better, but that doesn't mean he should be doing it often, so it's basically irrelevant. .308 this ...

What realistic moves would people make if they’re Ishbia and Jones this offseason?
Fire Vogel…
I think Ishbia has to consider firing Jones, too. I think we start hearing rumors that Jones in on the hot seat after the draft.

They have to fire him. Why even keep Vogel on if you're going to force him to completely replace his coaching staff, which would completely undermine and emasculate him?
That's a Sarver move.

I'd be happy to bring in Lue or Bud. Bud's not Greg Popovic, but I think he knows how to run a team with 7 perimeter players.

https://twitter.com/KevinOConnorNBA/status/1782955009690480958 So this is a funny / cringey pair of videos of Eubanks botching post moves. But I do think the tweet misses the point. You don't sign a minimum salary backup center and then expect him to carry your offense with his crazy post moves ...

Re: 2024 NBA Draft

I don't think we have to worry about drafting for need. We have so many redundant skill sets that almost anyone we get will bring something new to the table. This is my draft order for now. I might switch Kolek and Edey. All of these guys have been in college a bit and won't need as much development ...

Re: Suns News: Week 23 (3/25 - 3/31)

Couple of things: - 18M sounds like too much for Grayson. He has been good on the court, but he's not creator or a stopper. He's also not a leader or a culture maker. But I would still rather spend 18M of Ishbai's money on Grayson than spend 5M of Ishbia's money on someone worse. - Can't blame KD ...

RoyO has only been with the team for 11 games, and we've been an unimpressive 6-5 in those games. And yet, the team looks a lot better. The team feels more like a team, they seem tougher, there's a better energy. The team seems to play with more intentionalality. Royce is just what the doctor ...

Doc isn't great, but I don't think he's bad enough to affect this game all the way from Milwaukee.

I'm excited to watch our new guys. I also think Gafford and Washington are going to make Dallas a different team. It'll be a tight game.

Re: Suns trade for Royce O’Neale

I had forgotten about RO's time on the Jazz. This guy has been a 30mpg starter on a winning team. Pretty great to addition for what he cost. He can easily take Gordon's minutes when EG is having an off night. I wonder if he ends up passing EG in the depth chart by the playoffs.
