Re: The Phoenix Suns promote Brian Gregory to General Manager

It just feels like another knee jerk reaction.

Re: The Phoenix Suns promote Brian Gregory to General Manager

Gambo mentions Gregory is a development player guy. I wonder if this is the move for a rebuild in near future? Further, doesn’t a newbie GM with little nba experience basically prime other teams to try and fleece us? If he's going with a 1st time GM and we're looking at a 1st time head coach, it's h ...

Ishbia is following that New Owner playbook to a "T".

Re: The Phoenix Suns promote Brian Gregory to General Manager

Optics aren't great here obviously and it's at least concerning heading into a pretty important offseason. And getting rid of Jones, who at least had proper connections and relationships around the league...You'd have to think Bartelstein will be at least as involved in basketball matters as before ...

Re: 2025 NBA Playoffs

For some reason I keep thinking DA will end up in a Lakers uni. Either way, they need to get a big (or three) on that roster who can play if they want to have a chance next year.

TWolves are still shaky for me but I'm kinda rooting for them to make a run.

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News

It's starting to concern me that we're going to be up against is with KD and any team we're negotiating with. We can't play it as if there's no way he's back next year.

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News

Not enough talent on Detroit to take back in a KD trade outside of Cade and Duren. Ausar has some upside but he's on par with Dunn IMO. I could be wrong but I don't see Holland as anything special down the line.

Re: 2025 NBA Playoffs

So this is a little weird. Giannis went around congratulating the Pacers, then pulled Mathurin in and looked like he was saying something but Mathurin didn't seem to like what he was saying and they had to be pulled apart? Then Giannis maybe got into it with Haliburton's father and had to be pulled ...

Well that I agree with. I really like Randle, but wouldn't want him here.

Re: 2025 NBA Playoffs

Randle isn't terrible, you just need a strong coach to reign him in on offense and scheme to hide him on defense or at least motivate him to try. And he's another guy looking for a big contract and if it goes south, he might be impossible to move. You say he's not terrible then proceed to describe ...

Re: 2025 NBA Offseason News

Good role for him, hope he sticks to analysis and doesn't fall into the trap of being a personality.

Also glad this takes him out of the convo for coaching the Suns. Not that I think there was anything to the rumors, just annoying to keep seeing it pop up.

Re: 2025 NBA Playoffs

Houston would obviously want Giannis over KD if they had the choice. The issue is the 2-3 year window a team will have with KD. They need to be on that timeline too otherwise they're just repeating the mistake we made of giving up a younger core for a short title window. Plus you're looking at a 2-3 ...

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News

i misinterpreted CJ as CamJ but McCollum makes sense in that deal. Even so, pass on that. He's better than Beal but doesn't help us regardless.

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News

Kind of underwhelming and we'd again be a thin team with Claxton and CamJ. We need some bulk on the roster otherwise those guys are getting pushed around. The league, at least in the playoffs, is trending much more physical. I'm sick of seeing us get pushed around.

Re: 2025 NBA Playoffs

Am I crazy for thinking that I would rather just have Beal than torn-Achilles Dame? Dame won't play for 1-2 years anyway. Beal for all his faults is at least a guy who could play most of both seasons if you actually kept him. I'm surprised that the hatred for Beal has grown to the point where you'd ...

Re: 2025 NBA Playoffs

Would it make sense to take on Dame for 2 years, knowing he won't play next year? He and Beal have similar deals with POs in 26-27. It might buy the Bucks another year with Giannis. We'd be paying Dame to rehab but generally, I think he'd be a better pairing with Book even tho he'd be 36 the year he ...
