I honestly think that's the only real option we have. They won't move Booker and I doubt Beal is in a hurry to uproot his family again unless he desperately wants out of Phoenix and is willing to sign off on a trade.

Re: Suns hire Mike Budenholzer as head coach
I think we have to give coach Bud a one year shot with this big three group. Sign O'Neale and trade your picks for a back up PG or strech five and see how it goes. I believe Bud will do a better job than Frank.

Durant is a depreciating asset. 2 years on his contract.Democritus wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2024 11:31 pmI think we have to give coach Bud a one year shot with this big three group.

Re: Suns hire Mike Budenholzer as head coach
Yes, trading KD is another path this team can take, you may be right here, but who knows? Maybe coach Bud will unleash something wild and beautiful here that will bring a title. I'm only afraid of some stupid injury.virtual9mm wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2024 2:31 amDurant is a depreciating asset. 2 years on his contract.Democritus wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2024 11:31 pmI think we have to give coach Bud a one year shot with this big three group.

Re: Suns hire Mike Budenholzer as head coach
We're all free to dream up trades, but there is absolutely no way the FO is going to trade KD right now. They're going to make another run with this core with Coach Bud. Any actual trades we make will be to put pieces around the Big 3, not discard them and start over. We might consider trading KD in a year if the team really stinks next season, but probably not even then.

Yep, Ishbia isn't going to admit failure that quickly regarding Durant. I'm hopeful for what Bud can do with our Big 3. Isoing them while everybody else stands around wasn't the answer.Mori Chu wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2024 7:22 amWe're all free to dream up trades, but there is absolutely no way the FO is going to trade KD right now.

Bud somehow had Atlanta with 4 all-stars in a season, I think he will maximize the talent, at least for the regular season.

I see an avatar.
Re: Suns hire Mike Budenholzer as head coach
Do you see dead people too?
I don't know what to tell you. I see everybody else's. Maybe from a website not all have access to?

I think we have a winner. When I switch browsers, the avatar is missing for me too.

50+ wins in regular season and conference finals appearance is my bar...after that anything can happen.Superbone wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2024 8:34 amThat's a low bar.Democritus wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2024 11:31 pmI think we have to give coach Bud a one year shot with this big three group.
