    OT: The trade deadline watch thread. 02/06/25

    We don't know if Washington would have taken anything the Suns had for Jonas. Even assuming they would have, do you really think Jonas at $10M/ year would make a difference this and next season? Salary dump is not a bad thing. I'd have to look at the numbers closer, but I think that it's...

    OT: The trade deadline watch thread. 02/06/25

    I am not sure that's what they did. It's quite possible that there was simply no trade available that they could realistically make to improve. I think the second option would be a mistake at this point. Why rush and not simply take your time and do that during the off season? I am as...

    Nurkic goes to Charlotte - per Shams

    Yikes! At least it will save them some money.

    But seriously, folks.

    This is true. The ball just stops. It is bizarre, because he is not selfish, but he stops the offense and then tries to drive and make a difficult pass. Last night's first half was a good example of the Suns offense working because they were moving the ball. They got destroyed in the third...

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    I think the problem is that you can't blow it up- you have no picks, and you have the worst contract in the league that you can't trade. Hell, you can't even retool. Can't rebuild because you have no picks, and you can't retool because you have awful contracts.

    But seriously, folks.

    What's driving me crazy is that I can't figure out HOW this team is a bad as it is. I just don't understand how they are not the best offensive team in the league. KD is one of the best players to ever play the game, Booker is not a superstar, but he is a very good player, Beal was the leading...

    Where will Jimmy Butler end up? 2025 edition - (The Answer is Golden State)

    That's exactly what I was thinking. The only problem is that he wants an extension and has a player option, which he could exercise. However, I might still wave him and have some cap space after next year. If they extend Butler and KD, it will just be two additional seasons of the exact same...

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    That's how I see it as well. If he picks up his option, I'd just waive his ass. Nobody has the cap room to sign him to an equal contract.

    Where will Jimmy Butler end up? 2025 edition - (The Answer is Golden State)

    I still don't understand why the Heat would have to move him. Just let him expire and you have cap relief once he is gone. Yeah, sure, he can pick up his option and be on the payroll another year, but it's better than having a crap contract on the books for an additional year or two.

    Shams: De’Aaron Fox traded to Spurs

    Seeing what Sacramento and Dallas are doing makes me feel better about the Suns.

    Doncic - Anthony Davis Trade

    I thought this was a joke at first. Mavs must know something we don't. This is awful.

    Suns @ Warriors Friday game thread 1-31-2025

    Offense was beautiful tonight. They had a couple of silly turnovers, but the basketball was moving, and there wasn't much iso ball. This is basically what I expected to see this season. If they can sting three or four games like this together, I'm gonna get much more excited about the rest of...

    Where will Jimmy Butler end up? 2025 edition - (The Answer is Golden State)

    I guess we'll see, but I don't see the Suns being a bad team. I think it would be reasonable to say they may not be a serious contender, but there is no way they will be bad.

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    Significantly better. They had about 40 minutes of good basketball last night. Some of the third quarter was a bit rough, and they had some stupid turnovers. I remember them throwing the ball away three times in a row. KD and Beal really try some weird passes. Other than that, the offense was...

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    I agree. I want nothing to do with LaVine. If his contract was a year shorter, I could be talked into it, but it's exactly the same length as Beal's.

    Where will Jimmy Butler end up? 2025 edition - (The Answer is Golden State)

    Do you guys really think that Ishbia will let the Suns bottom out by 2031? He'll just spend money and at worst Suns will be mediocre. I can't imagine 2031 pick will be a top-five pick.

    My favorite Jimmy Butler story is taking the bench guys and beating the crap out of the starters in practice when he was in Minnesota.

    Doesn't he have screws in hit foot or ankle or something crazy like that?

    Bradley Beal Depreciation Thread

    I wanted to dismiss this report, but I do recall the Bucks wanting to trade for Beal before he got traded to the Suns. If I remember correctly, he rejected it.

    Suns acquire Nick Richards from Charlotte for Okogie & three 2nd rd picks

    It's also possible for two things to be true at once- overall, he may not be significantly better than Nurkic and Plumlee, and the things he does well are exactly what the Suns need, so he may make a huge difference while not being significantly better than those two when looking at them as...

    Suns @ Pistons Saturday game thread 1-18-2025

    This is the first really fun Suns game I've seen in months. This is a different team with Richards. Three wasn't falling, but Richards got them some rebounds for easy second-chance points, and he also gave them an actual roller and a cutter. He is obviously not up to speed but he played really...

    Suns acquire Nick Richards from Charlotte for Okogie & three 2nd rd picks

    Good trade. I'm going to miss Josh, but they really needed help in the paint. Curious to see if they can trade Nurkic.

    Where will Jimmy Butler end up? 2025 edition - (The Answer is Golden State)

    I am OK with all this as long as the Suns don't give up picks and the two youngsters to the third team. I do have some concerns with Butler but they are the same ones I had with CP3. He'll hold guys accountable, but that ends up annoying everyone eventually. I still can't imagine how this goes...

    Suns @ 76ers Monday game thread 1-6-2025

    Yeah, I have no issues with Beal. I think I said this before, but the main issue is that he and Booker are the same player. Book is a little bit bigger, Beal is a little bit faster and more athletic, but at the end of the day, they are essentially the same player. I don't think Beal did anything...
