CG looks like the basketball version of Enrique Iglesias

Gillespie averaged more assists per game last year in 28 mpg than Jalen Green has in any season of his career. More importantly his AST/TO is much better.

It makes more basketball sense to pair our best player with the better PG and bring Jalen off the bench where nobody else can create their own shot.
You could also argue that we need that playmaking off the bench because we already have Booker's playmaking in the starting lineup.

Jalen Green will have a a player option for the 2026-27 season.

Bringing him off the bench is not going to help the contract situation one bit. This must be factored into the equation.

No max deal for Jalen Green. He's probably worth a bit more than Brooks. I hope he can improve but yeah, he's been in the league some time. Not sure how much he can demand based on potential. He should see what Jaylen Brown got. Is he half the player that he is?

OT: Awesome video of Collin. I had a similar game when I played 30 years ago.

This was never a thing anyway.

Dillion is the franchise tone setter. You could argue Green may be worth a little less. Especially after an injury plagued year last year.

Collin should have some dummies set up in the corners so he could whip some passes if his shot is covered.

you can’t run a team with these kinds of fears. You could spend all year accommodating every whim and he could still walk. The Suns need this team to be the kind of team he wants to be on. When you try to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one.

Theoretically this is true but it's a player's league.

If this is what the Suns should want, they would likely be better off seeking a trade than demoting him.
