Suns News: The Offseason (2016)

#4 for Jahlil? Maybe. He's the kind of scorer I would love for the Suns to have, but does he defend/rebound at all? And, honesty, those guys need guards so bad we could probably unload some unwanted players for him.

If the 76rs truly are willing to move Okafor, our #4 should be on the table and probably they won't get a better offer. I'd try to get Knight involved as well in exchange for some draft compensation or Covington.

Booker-Okafor would be really interesting going forward. Okafor is not perfect but there are not many better scorers in the post at the moment.

Lose again in 16-17. Refrain from using cap space on vets; look to create good contracts on non redundant pieces. After a couple of seasons maybe you even have a coach in Watson, or if you don't it's the perfect time for a change in favor of a more consolidated HC. Create healthy hype. Profit.

He is a decent to good rebounder. He is capable of playing decent d but does not seem motivated to do so.

Just saw that they have the Suns at 27th in the Future power rankings. http://espn.go.com/nba/insider/story/_/ ... had-ford#6

That's just stupid. We are near the bottom right now, but we have cap space, some decent young talent, and plenty of draft picks. Saying we are #27 in our future outlook is a slap in the face considering that plenty of teams like the Hawks or Spurs will likely decline soon, and plenty of teams like the Knicks don't really have their own picks and assets to work with. I never click on those kind of lists because they're always just a bunch of hot air.

They dinged them on their lack of plan and constant changing of direction.

Well, we do have Robert Sarver.

Beat me to it. Sarver hasn't built a thing with the franchise since he's owned it. When he finally stopped trying to cut costs at every corner he couldn't even manage to spend his money wisely. The Suns will be mediocre at best until he's sells. We just have to hope the next guy has a clue.

So, you're telling me in three years that they think the Suns will be in the same position as they are now?

Haven't we basically been in the same spot the last 6 years?

[Ring_Wanted]

Almost. Two years bottom 5 (probably the wrong years draft wise), three years hovering around 50%, one decent season.

Who was it saying that it's a shame Warren isn't out there with the team?

Nice. A spin session. Because Xs and Os are overrated.

Suns make an appearance in this.

[Superbone]

That's hilarious!

Agreed, hilarious!
