They still need another big body at forward if they want to fix their rebounding problems.

Okay, so cut/trade Bol Bol or Damion Lee for who ?
Bol for Reath straight up. No need to attach a pick. Maybe a conditional pick swap or something but not like other teams are clamoring for Reath.
I think Bol is some sort of KD pet project, I don't think he's available. Could be wrong.
A project we need to let die…. Kinda like the KD trade experiment.
49 minutes through 39 games. If we’re not going to let him play, why keep him? And for that matter why not let him play, would it make the team worse?

At least we have a decent, playable center. Now we still need what we’ve always needed: a rebounding PF.
Ya know any?
I am probably beating a dead horse but I still wish we landed Yabusele. No idea if any effort was made to get him in the summer.

Is Bol Bol better or worse than Boucher? I ask this not because they are both toothpicks but because they both seem to get irrational hate from their respective coaching staffs. Hate may be a strong word but multiple coaching staffs have kept them on the bench despite a clear ability to put up stats (tho maybe not necessarily to help the team win).

Don’t know how Boucher is playing this year, but he’s got a better track record than Bol for sure. I remember him killing us on the glass a few years back.

Who is his mythical rebounding PF that the Suns can actually acquire, and who does he take minutes from?

I like Yabusele, but the last time we played Philly he looked very rotund to me. Has he gained weight? He was already a big boy, and he looked even bigger recently.

Allen for Beef Stew/Toppin/Boucher. Giving up a better player for backup PFs tho and Boucher would be a big talent downgrade. Stewart is a bit undersized but would give us some needed toughness and physicality. Toppin is a little soft, not a great rebounder but a great athlete with 3pt range. And if we move Grayson for a PF, we're a bit thin at the 2/3 without him and Okogie even tho they were undersized. We really need a 6-7/6-8 SF-PF.

I don't think Royce will be moved because he's close with KD.

I don't like moving Grayson unless we're getting an actual difference maker.

I'd move Royce for beef stew if the contracts aligned

He's probably mad that he's gonna get all the blame when this trade doesn't make them any better.

Nah. Plumlee is losing his athleticism while Richards' is through the roof.

Just keep it simple - rebound and catch lobs. Don't ask him to make decisions out of the short roll/midpost. Sometimes I think Bud and his staff make things too complicated for some of the players.

Your posts read like you're exasperated most of the time, and it's hilarious. You are so disappointed in everyone and the team :lol:
