Latest trade affect on Suns' roster

Post by Superbone »

Is our roster after the latest trade upgraded, about the same, or downgraded?

Out: Our former starting center and rookie, Toumani Camara
In: Nurkic, Allen, Little, and rookie, Keon Johnson

Talent-wise, maybe the 3-4 players we got make up for Ayton.

Attitude-wise, it’s unquestionably an improvement.

I voted "downgrade" in terms of talent and upside. But I acknowledge that in terms of personality, fit, attitude, and overall team chemistry, it may end up being an upgrade.

Time will tell.
In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.

Just wait until Nurkic averages 15/11/6 this year and shoots 40% from 3 😉

Haha, so would I…I’m definitely not expecting 6 assists or 15 points

As if Nurkic isn't known for having effort and attitude problems...

Best prospect since Oden. LOL.

Will the Portland center curse strike Ayton? He might be the fourth-most talented one they’ve had, behind Walton, Oden, and Bowie.

I did some digging, turns out every person in that conversation was Jeremy doing his best KD impersonation.

Like I said, it’s also about roster balance. Even if Allen turns out to be a decent player for us, he was unnecessary. We didn’t need another shooter.

We needed a center. A center who can run and be the defensive anchor in Vogel’s system. Nurkic is a terrible fit, like I’ve been saying, I couldn’t believe that was the word the Suns used to try to sell it.
