By the way, I couldn't find the offseason prediction thread, but I predict that we start the season with Warren, Jackson, & Bridges all on the roster. It feels too McD-like to try and take of having too many redundant players at one position in the offseason.

Haven't Houston, Boston and GSW shown us and the league that you nearly can't have enough wings? I just don't see Warren, Bridges, and Jackson as too many.

Would you like to read about Josh Jackson? Sure you would! https://www.slamonline.com/nba/on-the-r ... h-jackson/
“It’s a pair of underwear I wear whenever I feel like I need to have a good day,” Jackson explains. “They’re money print. There’s hundred dollar bills over them. I’ve had them since junior high school. I feel like every time I’ve worn them, something good has happened. It’s gotten to the point where I’ve started to choose days when I would wear them. Because I honestly feel like they might be lucky.”
He is also focused on his ball-handling, as he plans on playing some point guard moving forward.
Uh... is that also the team's plan?

Look good, play good. It's really simple.

Well I guess that problem is solved:

PG Jackson
SG Booker
SF Bridges
PF Warren
C Ayton

:lol:

Jackson and Warren with three pointers would make them both so deadly.

In case you woke up this morning and thought "I would like to be angry at someone today":



Stephen A gets me every time. Its like God went through and hand-picked all of the traits/characteristics that I dislike about people and then gave it a face and called it Stephen A.


Couple of other articles. This one is a rumor from a less-than-credible source about the Suns pursuing marcus smart:
https://www.brightsideofthesun.com/2018 ... young-core



This one reflects on McD's willingness to stick to the draft plan.

The headline I am most interested in reading this off-season is "Warren in gym working out feverishly to improve his three point shooting."

I'm sure we are interested in signing Capela. Unless Houston goes all in on Lebron I see Houston matching anything anyone throws at him. I don't see us being interested in Cousins.

Why would we go after Capela after drafting Ayton?

Because we have the same GM that put Dragic, IT, and Bledsoe on a team. I don't put anything past this guy when it comes to signing players. I am not advocating we do it. Just saying remember where we come from.

I wouldn't mind Smart as our PG FA target. His defense would complement Booker's game well. I think he could help teach the team defensive intensity.

I would not like Smart on a $14 million contract. I would much rather bring back Dragic as a rental than pay for the PGs on the market right now.

Considering he hits 3s at a 30% clip, I don't care how great his D is if he costs anywhere above MLE.

Has there been a lot of discussion about signing Milos Teodosic? I don't know almost anything about him, but he looked like an interesting option for a pass-first veteran point guard that wouldn't break the bank.

His defense is atrocious. His shooting is average at best. Passing is excellence. Ball handling ok. Lacks discipline. Decision making is questionable at times. Tries to be the hero too much. I say don't bother with Milos.

He picked up his player option, so would have to be a trade

I've been thinking this for awhile, at least during the season, but after the draft more so. I think the Suns should make Tyreke Evans their top target.
