I am still worrisome on their trades. Drafting and picking up free agents, they seem solid. Williams, seems like overpay. We give up an unprotected first for Bridges. Seems like they just need to tighten up on trades a bit.

Suns are like a football team with a wide open offense. "No risk it, no biscuit."

But that's the attitude that got them into a mess in the first place.

Let's run a good RPO (run-pass-option) offense, which I think is what the Suns are doing now, instead of a Hail Mary approach.

Every time someone lamented us not having picks I reminded they did. I also reminded them ish has proven to be creative. Did I know we’d have this kind of (seeming) success (I know it’s early to call these guys successes)? Of course not. But I was pretty steady in stating it (the KD trade, from a future perspective - the actual KD debacle was pretty obvious to everyone here) wasn’t a total abject failure . . . yet. So far it’s trending in my favor.
We get so worried about how many picks we have. The more important question is what do you do with those picks. The Nets had 5 first round picks in 2025 and really don't have a lot yet to show for it.

I had posted this on the Highsmith thread, but it probably is better here. Jordan Ott has a minutes problem. This is my prediction for minutes played this year (total, not per game) without anticipating any injuries.

1. Dillon Brooks
2. Devin Booker
3. Miles Bridges
4. Jalen Green
5. Oso Ighadoro (He will back up Williams and Maluach)
6. Mark Williams (game management)
7. Khaman Maluach
8. Rasheer Fleming
9. Colin Gillespie
10. Ryan Dunn
11. Jordan Goodwin
12. Derek Kennard
13. Koa Peat

For all you Koa fans, he will have to move ahead of Ryan and Sheer in the depth chart just to get into regular rotation minutes. Ott loves Oso. He will play. Goodwin is now the 11th man. Yes. I know you don't like it. It's just the numbers. He is not playing ahead of CG. Maybe he plays ahead of Dunn. Brea and Highsmith won't see playing time.
