Re: The Kevin Durant Problem

Gambo's told what to like and what to talk up. To be fair tho, I'm not sure how much Toronto is really in play.

Re: The Kevin Durant Problem

Gambo was blowing smoke for the org to make it seem like there was a bidding war when there wasn't. More than likely, all the negotiations took place 2-3 weeks ago - Suns told those teams what they wanted, HOU/SA/MIA said "this is what we're giving you" - and talks stalled while Gambo and the rest ...

Re: 2025 NBA Draft

I'm half expecting that to happen. I just don't know what to make of Jase. There's a part of me that really likes his offensive game, I think he's a smart player and has the pedigree but we don't need a small scoring guard. He might be skilled and smart enough to make it work at the pro level but ...

Re: 2025 NBA Draft

Been digging in on the draft the past few weeks but feels like it's taken a backseat because of KD obviously. BSoS has a good breakdown with a list of player workouts and also makes a good but concerning point - the workout list is mainly end of 1st round and later guys. There aren't any lotto/mid ...

Re: The Kevin Durant Problem

The cons outweigh the pros for me with Gobert now and the rest of the deal (that we know of) isn't nearly enticing enough to make anything happen. The fact that Gambo is pushing it scares me. I think the Suns have their minds made up it's their best offer.

Re: The Kevin Durant Problem

KD should packing his bags to Toronto. IQ is owed a lot but the talent is there and he could break out here next to Book. Poeltl is at least serviceable as a starter and good for 25mpg. Plus we get a #9 pick, which even in a not so great draft, has value here for us. If things cut the right way ...

Re: The Kevin Durant Problem

I'm definitely taking everything with a big grain of salt. Some it's true, some of it isn't. There's a lot of posturing and PR from everyone involved. I do think KD does not want to go to Minny. I think Minny might be one of the better, or best, deals out there. I do think the Spurs and Rockets are ...

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News

That's for the FO cap gurus and nepo babies Bartelstein and Tellem to figure out. I don't think you're giving Ott or the new team a fair chance with Beal in the gym. Can't talk about hustle, grit, defense and then have Beal jogging around making $50mil knowing no one wants him there.

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News

I'm very against Beal being back in any capacity. Can't move forward until he's gone IMO.

Re: The Kevin Durant Problem

Heat deal was always trash even with Ware. Miami is probably KD's #1 choice so we're entertaining things with them.

Re: The Kevin Durant Problem

RJ is a really good 20-5-5 player. 6-7 strong 225lb power swing who gets downhill and to the basket pretty easily. He's not a consistent perimeter scorer tho and isn't really comfortable or happy off-ball standing and waiting to shoot. His defense can be really good but isn't consistent either. I ...

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News

Don't have a lot of interest in KP. He's always got some weird injury and only plays when he's motivated. I like at least hearing that we're exploring moving Green if we take him back in any deal. Raptors' pieces are really intriguing if that report is true. I think I'd like IQ over RJ with Poeltl ...

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News

Westbrook is kind of like Randle for me. I really like both of them but not sure I want them on the team. I don't think we have the culture or infrastructure to handle two of those win-now vets in the lockerroom. Right now, we don't know anything about the identity or vision for this roster until ...

Re: 2025 NBA Offseason News

Maybe I'm looking at it cross-eyed, but I feel like this hurts us a bit. I was really hoping we could trade with Orlando and give them Beal. They seemed like they really needed a shooting guard who could go get them some buckets, and I thought they might be willing to give us some assets for Beal ...
