Suns News: Week 14 (1/22/24 - 1/28/24)

[Superbone]

There is a lot of smoke here.

[Mori Chu]

I get second chances and all, but - without even diving in to the second incident - sometimes a crime is enough to just say “no thanks.” He brutally assaulted a woman in front of their kids. Broken ribs, strangulation, etc. Seems like more than a bad moment. Also, you think that was his first time doing it? I think it’s more likely it was just the first time she called the police.

He also did it again, even after being tried and found guilty of doing it the first time, receiving probation, and going to months of counseling. He did it again.

[Superbone]

Especially the women and children.

[Split T]

I won’t give up my fandom, but I’m rooting for Royce O’Neal instead of Miles…I would just feel gross about cheering for him. Just like I feel gross that KJ was my favorite player once…That being said, I get it…Bridges would be a perfect fit strictly basketball wise.

[Wally_West]

[Superbone]

If it happens, I hope you guys are right about O'Neal. But I will not lighten up, bub.

[Superbone]

[Shabazz]

I think I would prefer Bey to O’Neale because he’s a similar player, but 6 years younger and you have his RFA rights.

[Cap]

Bridges would really punch up our bench. It'd be a knockout blow against our opponents. Having him in the lineup would make the opposing team choke. We'd really strangle the competition. We'd give them a real concussion. It'd be like ... throwing pool balls at them (yeah OK I couldn't work this one in).

New Suns ad after trade: "Unlike the mothers of their children, the Suns can't be beat!"

Guy may have made his kids watch him attack their mother, but at least he’s good for a few jokes.

I’m not one to criticize. I like black comedy as much as the next ****. But… yeesh.

I can’t really speak to Bey much. He’s struggling this year. I’d be fine with him too though. He is bigger than O’Neal which is a plus.

[Wally_West]

We could probably get both haha I’d be cool with that


Little + Okogie plus a 2nd and 1st round swap for O’Neale

TE + two 2nds Bey

[Split T]

Ya we could use 2 more rotation guys…

Book/Beal/Allen/KD/Nurk
EG/Royce/Bey

8 guys but still needs another playable big. We’d be looking at Bol/Eubanks/Metu still

[O_Gardino]

I haven't been able to watch as much this season, so what's the deal with Eubanks? He has looked good the few times I've seen him, and his numbers are good. Why do the fans seem not to like him? What am I missing?

[Flagrant Fowl]

Bey is so bad this year and his jumpshot gives me Shamet vibes. Tread lightly.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Royce O'Neal is the definitely the guy I'd like the Suns to bring in the most among those recently discussed.

[Shabazz]

I'm banking on his past shooting numbers and a change of scenery fixing whatever is up with him. I also think we'd be buying low(er than Royce).

He’s shit for brains on both ends of the court

Banking on his past is way too risky for me in this situation. I'm fine with it during the summer, but not mid-season when he'd be expected to immediately contribute. That's where Royce's age and experience is an advantage between the two guys.

I'm also weary of Bey thinking he's more "3" than "D", and that's not at all what this team needs. He's not really a scrappy energy defender type, and again, Royce has filled that role to a sufficient standard in the past.

He played well at the very start of the season, and the past few games. But he had a big stretch in between where he seemed to be a net negative by the eye test. I have had trouble articulating what was wrong with him, but basically making bad decisions and bonehead plays, leading to turnovers and fouls and lost opportunities. I saw one person on social media saying he was playing "overcaffeinated" and rushing decisions, which matches the eye test. But in the past handful of games he's been much better, so that's encouraging.

[Split T]

I know it’s almost a joke at this point, but I’d take Torrey Craig back…he’ll rebound and hit open 3s at a decent clip.
