Myers’ contract is up and its curious that Golden State hasn’t re-upped him yet.

This has to be the guy you make a full court press on.

What a predicament. The Suns need a lot of transfers through the portal.
You think DA studies plays? Remember his shining moment against the Clips 3 years ago on the lob-dunk with 1 sec left? Monty had to spell it out to him like a 5 year old to make sure he understood. Or he would have brought it down and tried a fade away or something stupid
There is a small chance that a new coach that gets in his head could make a big change. And right now I'll take it. He's always gonna be available for trade I'm just saying lets not rush it.

Pair him with Westbrook!

I’d love to have Westbrook come off our bench.

The last thing we need is a high volume shooter who sucks at shooting.

oh god no!
I thought KD hated him? Like last season he was done with Harden's nonsense. He pretended like he didn't exist when he and LBJ were picking All-Star teammates also.

I'm starting to think the Suns want to reassemble the previous Nets team.
Did you not see him against us in the first round. He carried that team.
We would be lucky to have him

Better off silent
Why? Based on reports from anyone BUT the Suns?

If you make your entire team subservient to Westbrook's style of play... he can put up some numbers. You probably won't win... but he will put up some stats.
Ask him to play within a system, you also won't win and he is going to look like absolute horse crap.

Someone needs to figure out a way to add Harden and Irving for Paul and Ayton.
CP3 for Mann, Batum, Covington trade works, better bench players than we have now.

Well, there is no chance that Harden and Irving will play together again. Harden can't stand him.

I couldn't get it to work in the ESPN trade machine. If it could be made to work with different players, I'd want Bones Hyland included.

I'm was just trying to recreate a version of the old Nets roster because former Brooklyn players keep popping up in Suns trade rumors.

Whatever/wherever Ayton goes, the #1 goal should be to land 2 stellar defensive players. Our defense was just terrible in the playoffs. Once the reg season ended, the bench disappeared defensively. . . and I was singing Akogi's praises before that. We lost two very good defensive players in Crowder and Bridges; CP3's main defensive contribution was in steals, but as he slowed down, his size and health became defensive liabilities. Payne is good offensively, but again a liability. Ayton is marginal on defense, terrible on O rebounding and acceptable on defensive rebounding. So . . .
Since we are highly unlikely to find a Jocic or Embiid-like center, I suggest we more or less cede the middle with a reliable defensive rebounder/non-scorer; try to pick up defense at the off-forward position and backup guard position. I don't now what his stats are but I would love to get the Nuggets backup center. Not at all the most desirable scenario but we ain't gonna get that because we gave up too much to get KD.

You are correct, in that playoffs are a totally different season. We saw how radically worse the bench was during the playoffs. We had two players, Book and KD, who could play at "season" level in playoffs. That said, I don't know how we do it but we need to get MUCH better defensively, and I don't think it matters if Ayton is there or not. I don't think he improves the D all that much if at all.

Looking at some of the rumors, I think some of the writers only know the names of star players.
More like the gray beard team.
