    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    Maybe Butler will make the games more exciting to watch? This is the most boring suns team I can remember. Outside of watching Dunn progress, most games are a real snoozer... If Butler can complement Booker and KD, so the three can effectively be on the court at the same time he should be an...

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    I know nothing about Butler, but energy and stepping up in big games is something the suns desperately need. As far as trading picks, it's not ideal, but picks are not as critical to a rebuild if you have an owner willing to spend big when the time comes.

    I wonder what trading Booker would return. It would have to be more than we paid for KD, right. How about Booker for Fox? Fox is 15mil cheaper and expires the same year as Durant.

    You know it's bad when a discussion on fish is more popular than the team.... To rid the fishy taste, try Mahi-Mahi, add a little high quality lemon vinegar prior to cooking.

    Pacers @ Suns Thursday game thread 12-19-2024

    I think the suns swung for the fences with KD and Beal to give Booker a last chance to lead a team to a championship. They overpaid, and hamstrung the team, however I think the fix could be quicker than some think. Trade Booker for a haul of young high potential talent and or picks. Trade KD...

    The NBA is broken.

    3PA went from 6.6 a game in 89-90 season to 37.5 attempts this year! Nurkic had 5 by himself the other night. The current level of three-point shooting makes the games boring, it has essentially turned into a jump shot that does not carry the same excitement it did when it was rare and only a...

    Suns @ Lakers Friday game thread, October 25th, 2024

    Relying so heavily on three point shooting will end badly. I don't believe this team has the mental fortitude to make those shots in big high pressure games. Plus, launching one three after another is boring to watch. The highlight in last nights game was the commercial where Giannis dunked on...

    Suns draft Oso Ighodaro at #40

    The NBA has changed. I wonder how Rodman, or similar type player would fit today? Is there anyone now or recently that that average 4pts and 17rbs in a season?

    Suns sign Tyus Jones

    Wow....haven't been paying attention to the suns lately and was shocked to see them grab a starting PG for the minimum. 7asts to 1 TO last season and he has improved his scoring and assists each of the last three seasons. Hopefully Allen can adjust to coming off the bench. Time to maybe stop...

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    We have a new coach and new system. Things "could" change significantly for the better. Not likely championship level change but better than last season. I thought a lot of last year's issues were coaching, leadership and scheme. For this team to compete for a championship they need 1. better...

    2024 NBA Draft talk: Suns own pick 22

    His dad certainly has a ton of cash but who wants to live off of daddy's money. Just because Bronny may have a few million from his NIL deal he certainly will want and need more.

    2024 NBA Draft talk: Suns own pick 22

    "Pathetic Desperation"....That's exactly where we are if the current guys, with the new coach can't get it done. If you get a backdoor commitment from Lebron to come here, it seems unlikely he'd back out. As a father I doubt he'd want to screw over his sons new boss/employer. I seriously...

    I don't know if anyone here wants to trade Booker, I sure don't. If it turns out the current group, with the new coach and whatever tweaks they can pull off can't get it done then we will either 1.) Need to trade Booker and KD for sufficient assets to begin a complete rebuild or 2.) Trade KD...

    2024 NBA Draft talk: Suns own pick 22

    Right, and we would have only two starting caliber players in Book and Beal. The suns are not making a splash in FA until 2027-28, unless they trade 2 of their big three to free up space..

    2024 NBA Draft talk: Suns own pick 22

    KD and Nurkic come off the books in the 2026-27 season. Looking forward and not including RO new contract, we’ll have 4 guys under contract in 2026-2027, totaling 140.6m. With a projected cap of 171.m we’d have 30m in cap space to use for 11 players. Booker and Beal are at 115m alone. If we do...

    Mike Budenholzer - Officially Suns new Head Coach

    IMO, if this current group can't get it done, they will either trade Booker for the assets needed for a complete re-build or the next decade is going to resemble the last decade.

    2024 NBA Draft talk: Suns own pick 22

    True, but Lebron is also close to retirement, and is likely looking for opportunities beyond his contract. Helping out a new, billionaire team owner could present all kinds of financial opportunities. I think you are right about this being fodder. However, it is possible, and does make some...

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    I agree, what I have a hard time envisioning is how the team improves, to a championship level, by trading KD. Whatever we bring back has to contribute more than he does, which seems unlikely, and it doesn't make sense to begin a full rebuild until we regain control of our own lottery picks...
