Re: 2024 Suns Offseason: Where do we go from here?
I wouldn’t get your hopes up on the draft stuff. JJ doesn’t really believe in the draft and it seems Ishbia lines up in those beliefs. We’ll be trading our pick probably every year. In the short term, that may actually have some value for us because there will likely be some in the league that plac...

Re: 2024 Suns Offseason: Where do we go from here?
I think that talk about "We didn't use KD correctly" was more directed at KD himself. The FO is trying to signal to KD that we'll try to use him better next year so he doesn't stay mad. He's likely been leaking some of these negative stories to the media this week and they don't want him ...

Re: 2024 Suns Offseason: Where do we go from here?
I just don’t share the same defensive concerns as you. We were 13th in defense this year. The defense wasn’t the problem against Minny…the offense sucked and when we started to slip we let go of the rope and let Minny go crazy. LeBron plays defense in the playoffs. The Lakers held the nuggets to we...

Re: Game Day - Playoff Edition - Game 3: Wolves (2-0) @ Suns (0-2), Fri 4/26/24
Payne was good when starting. Even in the playoffs. Good is a little bit of a stretch. But he had value. Part of the reason the Suns won those two games against Denver is because Payne's ability to push the pace was a plus. He didn't perform that well statistically. But just having a point guard pu...

Re: 2024 Playoffs: Around the League Round 1 News Thread
That Jrue Holiday contract is really going to end very poorly. Jrue is 33, injury-prone, and his production is down. Pretty incredible that he got that deal.

Re: Game Day - Playoff Edition - Game 3: Wolves (2-0) @ Suns (0-2), Fri 4/26/24
It's not about crying over Cam Payne. If the Suns made that deal but then had a journeyman point guard with playoff experience ready to come in, I would be fine with the trade. But they didn't. And that's why that deal was a problem. All offseason, and even in the previous season leading up to the d...

They also didn’t expect to be missing 1 of Book or Beal for the first half of the season. Then they're idiots. There is a reason why we had a "how many games will the big 3 play together" thread. I’m fine if saving 20 million on a Cam Payne means he’s willing to spend 70 million on a Gray...

Re: 2024 Suns General Offseason News
Ok, who says no Draft night we trade our 2024 1st for a future 1st from someone. Then this summer we offer Beal, the future 1st, and our 2031 1st to Orlando for Jalen Suggs, Jonathan Isaac, and Wendell Carter Jr? Probably not enough from us. Orlando could use a guard like Beal, but he’s too old for...

Re: Game Day - Playoff Edition - Game 2: Suns (0-1) @ Wolves (1-0), Tues 4/23/24
I just don't think you can count us out yet. Minnesota just did what they were supposed to do. We've got two must win games coming up. Hopefully Vogel can make some adjustments he hasn't been willing to make yet. I agree to a certain extent. I wouldn't be surprised if the Suns won both games in Pho...

Just think it's a different team with a PG. Even Brogdon which was a travesty thT he stayed in Portland, would have made a difference. Even Cam Payne would have helped. This team expends too much energy creating shots. The Cam Payne trade was idiotic, and savings argument is silly when the owner is...

I think that is a little too generous. Yes, Ishbia is the main culprit, but Jones has made plenty of blunders that are also catching up to him and the organization.

He is handling the ball more and charged with more initiation of the offense. So it exposes more. And the offensive coaching has taken a step back or three.
