I'd like to add Mason Plumlee.
I think there's an offer on the table for him, though I haven't heard if he accepted...not sure if he'd take min either...

Who the fuck is that guy?
You haven’t seen him? He’s the hottest thing on Suns Twitter. A genuine bona fide real Flex-endorsed insider wannabe. Who makes everyone happy by assuring them that a Deandre Ayton trade is
just around the corner but to be patient because “these things take time.”

Not sure if there's much to the Collison stuff. He's 35 and hasn't played since 18-19. I guess he did unretire in 21-22 to play 3 games under Vogel so there's that.

I hope not. We can use the roster spot for someone that can do something. I get that we want another steadying presence on the floor and that makes sense, but it’s hard to see him being relevant in today’s league.

Also didn't get an update on that workout with Stanley Johnson and Jabari Parker. Had read that Parker was going to play on the Bucks summer league team but pulled out because of a family thing so who knows.

None of those guys make that much sense to me. Maybe JaMychal Green.
I don't think JaMychal Green has much, if anything, left.

He would be a great fit next to the Big 3 with his passing ability. I'd be shocked if he didn't get a multi-year offer from LAC.

We went from:
Booker --> Booker
Durant --> Durant
Ayton --> Ayton (still a pussy)
Paul --> Beal
Shamet --> Gordon
Craig --> Bates-Diop
Warren --> Watanabe
Ross --> Goodwin
Landale --> Eubanks
Biyombo --> Metu
Bazley --> Todd
Payne --> Payne
Okogie --> Okogie
Lee --> Lee
Wainright --> Wainright
I would say that's a pretty significant upgrade to the roster overall.
While the above isn't a perfect way to look at it, writing it up this way really does show how much stronger the roster is at spots #4-8. Going from Paul, Shamet, Craig Warren, Ross to Beal, Gordon, KBD, Watanabe, Goodwin is a huge upgrade. And we kept Okogie in the process. Great stuff.

I generally agree with the sentiments and I’m thrilled that we have real 6th to 8th men on the bench now, but I’m not quite ready to crown Goodwin yet. Do think Eubanks is a solid and somewhat proven addition tho.
Not sure why nobody has made a move on Watford. What do the professional talent evaluators know that we don’t?

You've basically gone from Paul, Craig and Landale in the rotation with a few other players they didn't really trust (Shamet, Ross and Biyombo) to Beal, Gordon, Eubanks, Bates-Diop and Goodwin (with Watanabe and Metu getting spot minutes).
Add that to Durant, Ayton, Booker, Payne, Okogie and Lee and you have some actual dependable depth.

Further investigation shows Book volume of passes is less than the "PGs" on here but I think there is enough tape now that shows us he's comfortable orchestrating and basically revels now in the chess match of picking apart teams

I read somewhere that for Craig, we could do a sign n-trade to the receiving team (due to early bird rights) and maybe get something back. Does that sound legitimate? What could we want back with no real roster spots aside from one back? Would we or could we maybe get a future 2nd back if we did this?
