I just hope to see the guys stay competitive like they did in Houston. Look for Josh Jackson to have a big game.

Go Suns!!!

Fun fact...only two players that currently get minutes for us have negative on/off court numbers.

Jamal Crawford at -10
And Josh Jackson at -.7

Trevor Ariza, Tyson Chandler, Ryan Anderson, Isaiah Canaan all had big negative on/off court numbers.

Our highest positive numbers

Troy Daniels +7.7
Mikal Bridges +4.7
Kelly Oubre +4.2

Holmes and Booker are next.

Curious if we’ve ever played a Booker/Daniels/Bridges/Oubre/Holmes lineup

[bajanguy008]

On a serious note though
Randle is on a tear, scoring 45 last night and we always struggle with his strength at the PF spot
If we try the Bender, Josh, Bridges rotation we did last time it's probably not gonna go well. Holmes is the only person on the team who would battle him but we're not gonna use that lineup

[Split T]

I don’t think Anthony Davis played last night, is he playing tonight?

We need to keep either Holmes or Ayton on Randle

Side note:
How would people feel about going after Randle in free agency?

However, their off-team numbers are fantastic. We've played a lot better without them.

I love Randle. It'd be interesting to see him next to Ayton, that's for sure. Should be another physical night for Holmes. Can't wait to see it.

[Split T]

Randle might drop 40 again with Bender and the wings covering him.

Randle is interesting...he’s not a great fit next to Ayton, but Randle has improved as a shooter and I think they’d be ok. I don’t know that we’ll have the cap space to sign him though...we’ll see on that.

[Superbone]

I like Randle's aggression. That's for sure.

Yea basically

I wanted Randle last summer. And we could have had him for cheap, too! I don't know if we can afford him now, plus he'll have a lot of options after the year he's had. If he wants to come here, though, we could probably make it work.

I wonder if NO would be interested in say Josh Jackson at all. I imagine they know Randle is leaving and I’m not sure they’re all that interested in keeping him around anyways. A sign and trade where we send Jackson would allow us to offer another 5 million or so to the contract.

Assuming we keep Oubre and Holmes and our draft pick, that would be a contract starting in the 15-18 million range.

If they want Warren, we could start a contract in the 21-24 million range.

Melton goes from stuck behind Crawford and curiously out of the rotation to starting tonight

Think I’d put Ayton on Randle and Bender on AD

Which is what we do and AD gets a dunk

Kevin Ray making the Julius Randle-Zion Williamson comp. I think I’ve heard it on here before too. It’s pretty good. Of course you need to add Zion’s elite athleticism.

Booker with a deeep 3, looks good early!
