Suns News: Week 14 (1/20 - 1/26)

Those pesky draft picks!

[SunsShine]

Dunn has quickly become a fan favorite. He must be protected at all costs. It feels nice to have a young player on the team again who shows potential.

[ShelC]

I like that he's been showing more offense in the lane the past few games. He's slipping the screen and getting that flip/push shot to go, even using it off the dribble when the defense closes out. He's on the right path for sure.

[Cap]

Wasn’t he supposed to be a major offensive liability? He’s not living down to his promise.

He is being called up, not out.

Yes, do not give into any pressure to include him on any trade.

[Wally_West]

No chance Dunn is in any trades. If he is it’s because we are getting multiple 1st back

I wouldn’t swap Dunn for end-of-round picks, even if there are two or three of them.

Definitely the best SG in the West. No real competition unless you categorize Ant as a SG. No way to leave him off the team unless you put five point guards on it.

[Split T]

Ant is definitely a SG…but all-star is just G anyways…

SGA, Curry, Ant are clearly ahead…Luka would be but he’s hurt.

There’s only 4 dedicated guard spots, but 2 wildcards…Kyrie, Fox, and Ja are probably going to be considered. Honestly Norman Powell has a case too.

SGA, Curry, Kyrie, Fox, Ja… What about Beard? That’s a lot of WC PGs, and we don’t have any of them. I miss KJ/Kidd/Starbury/Nash/Dragic. (Don’t necessarily miss all the personalities, however.)

[Split T]

Ya Harden maybe too

[Superbone]

Hmm. Doesn't sound like Nurk has an easy path forward.

[pickle]

So you are saying Bud is sane and subscribes to basic logic. Good to know that about our coach.

[In2ition]

He's a slow study?

Yeah, it's not looking too good for Booker as a guard in the West with Durant as a lock and without team success.

NBA trade deadline: Should your team buy, sell or stand pat as Feb. 6 looms?

Phoenix Suns
Sell: In the mortgage business, Mat Ishbia believes in identifying problems quickly and fixing them quickly. This approach with the Suns should lead him to one conclusion — sell. Phoenix has gotten progressively worse over the past three seasons. They have changed coaches. They have overhauled the bench (and added Bradley Beal). They have changed lineups (and demoted Bradley Beal). Nothing has worked. This season, the Suns have lacked the togetherness to beat a good team and the fire to put away a bad one. On many nights, they just look old. Acquiring Jimmy Butler — if a deal can be constructed — would help, but it won’t make Phoenix a championship contender. — Doug Haller

Sell high on KD, reload around Book.

[ShelC]

Yes please!
