Suns Off Season Changes for 2025-26

[Dan H]

No, not really.

Jalen Green sucks. Brooks is an A hole. And they are both shooting guards, which we don't need.

10th pick, and 5 seconds is the deal really.

Yeah, kinda meh myself. Presumably this is just step one.

 

[Mainstreet]

I started a thread on the Kevin Durant trade.

No it isn't. If anyone else wanted green this would have been a 3 way. Pretty sure we are stuck with him.

Not necessarily. Many teams are reluctant to get involved in complicated 3 way deals. Plus step two could involve moving some of those 2nd round picks.

Yes, especially when you have a team like us over the second Apron. It will be easier to flip either guy individually. As muchg as we hate Brooks, he does supposedly fit that new mold of scrappy Suns player the team is supposedly wanting to build with.

I call BS on keeping Green. You have three guys arguably with similar skill sets on the team making up most of the salary in Booker, Beal, and Green. I think you only keep Green if you are trading Booker. We got five second round picks back in this trade, possibly you have the ammo now to get off Beal?

This draft is supposed to be weak at Center. Do you get REALLY desperate and flip Beal for one of our first round picks?

Please trade or cut Dillon Brooks. Biggest a hole ever.

you don't cut 14 pts 4 boards and the ability to get in a scorer's head - you can trade it but you definitely don't cut it

I hate Brooks, but he IS better than Royce Oneal. We upgraded on that type of player on our roster.

 

[leclerc]

Then he should give some value in return. Really hope I never see him in a Suns uniform.

He's our A-Hole now. I don't like it either but at the same time I'd rather watch an a-hole than the lethargic team from last year. One thing not in question regarding Brooks is he cares.

 

[Yuma]

Keep forgetting to post this. On the way home on the 101, I saw a car with Suns plates license plate of BolBol.

Gambo again asserts Bradley Beal will not be back on the Kevin O'Connor Show… that he will be traded or bought out.

Flex eluded to teams being interested in Beal as well. The only interest I can see is after a buy out as he's a solid pick-up for a vet min to MLE contract. Nobody is taking him for $55M over the next 2 years unless we are getting an equal to worse contract back; however, his contact is consistently regarded as the worst in the NBA. Paul George and Embiid are stiff competition.

He may be an cornholio, but he's our cornholio. Embrace the ass!

It's almost like the Suns have a plan for Beal.

Maybe they have already reached an agreement with Beal's agent for a lesser buyout amount, or there is a trade partner for a player with another bad contract the Suns like better.

Now we have to trade Booker. Lets face it.. We are not going to win a ring with Booker. It is time to rebuild with young players.

We're about to sign him to a massive $75M/year extension which is insane. I love Book, but he is not that guy.

Prior to the Suns drafting Devin Booker in 2015, the last star the Suns drafted and kept was Amare Stoudemire in 2002.

It's something to think about.

The Suns drafted Steve Nash in 1996 but traded him before he blossomed.

NBA salaries are going to go through the roof for top players and I think the extension is only for two seasons.

In all likelihood, it will be a long time before the Suns are relevant again unless the Suns pair up another star with Booker.

Maybe that's why the Suns took a chance with Jalen Green?

 

[GatorAZ]

Brooks is useless on a bad team. I think he gets moved and Windhorst also hinted at it.

I agree, but at his salary, I don't see interested parties unless they're unloading something ugly in the process.

A ring? We likely don’t even win a play-in game or even make one with Booker in the near future.

And the longer it takes for the team to realize this, the more Booker’s value will take a hit.

This is a little too chicken little for even my skeptical mind.

This is odd. Mike Jurecki replies to a random rumor account on Twitter.
