Suns News: Week 15 1/22-1/28

[ShelC]

Good article, thanks. I'm more encouraged by Jackson as of late. He seems to have a good head on his shoulders and the work ethic to get better.

[Cap]

Whatever became of his kid(d) with the huge head? TJ?

He grew into his head.

[Mori Chu]

Here he is in 2017 at age 19:

[Superbone]

So, next year we see him holding a 20 on our center court?

Like the look of those numbers, well except the FG% but that kinda all around game is what I'm hoping for. I think of Josh Richardson whenever I wonder what Davon can do as he starts to get healthy

Not sure where to put this, but I was thinking about next year's free agency. Anyone out there that we like? Besides the obvious that won't come here (LeBron, Durant, PG13) I'm really only interested in restricted targets. Would you throw a big contract(max? Near max?) At Aaron Gordon or Jabari Parker? What are the chances Orlando or Milwaukee match?

Pursuing Jabari is an unnecessary risk. It also doesn't make sense to have him next to Warren.

I like Aaron Gordon, but I'm not sure a maxing Gordon moves the needle for us.

I really don't understand why everyone got so excited about him.

That's funny; I think he is off-the-court incident waiting to happen.

Ryan McDonough says Suns will accelerate timeline, be aggressive in free agency

Free Agents To Watch
Houston center Clint Capela (restricted free agent), Orlando power forward Aaron Gordon (restricted), Chicago forward Nikola Mirotic, New York center Enes Kanter, Utah forward Derrick Favors, Memphis guard Tyreke Evans, Portland center Jusuf Nurkic (restricted), Orlando guard Elfrid Payton and Boston guard Marcus Smart (restricted).

“We’ll probably be more aggressive in June and July than we have been the last couple of years,” McDonough said.

Capela is interesting if Houston goes after some big names this summer. Don't think they'll let him get away though. I kinda like Tyreke at PG if we don't draft one with our top pick. I'd like Gordon too, but I imagine Orlando wants to keep him.

“One of the things we’re excited about in this draft is if all the players we expect to declare are in, I think the strength of the draft is where we can use some help, at the one and the five primarily,” McDonough said. “We’re kind of searching for answers long-term at those positions.”

my question is if the article is viewed as good news or is everyone now kinda nervous.....

It isn't good news.

[Split T]

I think it's good news. It said they weren't really looking to add anyone at the trade deadline. I think McD wants another high pick and then to start building a good team around our young players.

I think we'll get a top 5 pick and draft a big man
Draft a PG with the Miami pick
Sign a vet PG or someone who can play point (Evans, Barton)

If we draft a PG with our top pick, maybe we target big men in free agency.

I think you're way wrong there, INF.

She aged well. Just sayin.

I don't like it. I'd rather use our cap room as a trade asset, get a good pick or prospect, and go after FA's in '19 or '20.

[INFORMER]

Yep.

[INFORMER]

Honestly, the only free agent I'm interested in is Tim Frazier.
