    The 2025 NBA Off Season (includes free agency)

    F it...I'll be the one to ask How would folks feel about Simmons as a point forward for a year?

    2025 NBA Draft (The PG-13 version) & No Spoilers

    I'm finding myself rooting against him the more this scenario goes on. I probably should be more against his advisors (as he is a kid) but he plays a major role of this entitled attitude. At some point you have to just straight up be grateful for the opportunity you're blessed with. It's...

    2025 NBA Draft (The PG-13 version) & No Spoilers

    You don't think the team is in a drastically different position as far as potential than they were a week ago? I do agree that optimism is a big contribution to the overall outlook, but I also think that the optimism stems from being in a better scenario

    2025 NBA Draft (The PG-13 version) & No Spoilers

    Now I don't feel as if my thoughts are far fetched. This past week has set up a potential foundation in which a majority of core playes are 25 and under 2-3yrs from now. Ott could very well want to replicate a CLE type roster. I wouldn't be shocked if the next 2 years consist of moves solely to...

    2025 NBA Draft (The PG-13 version) & No Spoilers

    I woke up even more excited about the potential with Maluach. I also like that his frame compliments his height. He doesn't look like he has to grow into his body if that makes sense. Also seems that he has a good foundation to work with on expanding his offensive game from the gate. We may...

    2025 NBA Draft (The PG-13 version) & No Spoilers

    Understandable...but I also see a lot of potential in the deal. He could end up being a very nice bargaining chip in a year while also affording the team an opportunity to develop Maluach. I'm very much a fan of giving this new coaching staff young talent to work with during this transition

    2025 NBA Draft: Suns Presently Have Picks #10, #29, #52, and #59

    Take this and run. Would take the sting off of a lot of the current situation and sets up a nice foundation to work with.

    Suns trade Kevin Durant to the Rockets

    I've thought about this as well to some degree, but let me pose a scenario. As it stands KD is a test run. He is on a team he WOULD sign an extension with but there's no guarantee that happens. There is a chance he doesn't move the needle there (a la his time here) and they don't extend him...

    Suns trade Kevin Durant to the Rockets

    I took a gander at the first few pages of the KD to Suns thread and it painfully reminded me of how things went almost as bad as they possibly could. Cp3 Book KD insert player Ayton (a paid one at that) + any FA buyouts itching to go for the ride At one point we were able to speculate on a TJ...

    Suns trade Kevin Durant to the Rockets

    Not to mention we have 2 FRP now to take a shot on a top 10 big and a PG prospect We walk away with Queen & Saraf and I'm tuning in for the start of the turnaround

    Suns trade Kevin Durant to the Rockets

    Well my folks just sent me a tweet that they are looking to reroute Green to another team. In that case I'm obviously hoping for some draft capital but I am very content with him being a piece for the future as well. I don't want to necessarily trade Book (he has been very loyal) but I think...

    Suns trade Kevin Durant to the Rockets

    He can be streaky but he is very talented, young, and years away from his prime... He has a chance to thrive here IMO and gives us something to work with that parallels the true timeline of what it will take to fully undo recent transgressions. I also think that Book will be traded at some...

    Suns trade Kevin Durant to the Rockets

    Also it has to be taken into consideration that we were the latest guinea pig for the "KD elevates you to a championship team" theory. There is proof of concept that worked against us as well. He's equivalent to breaking out the fancy silverware for a feast that's already prepared... Buying...

    Suns trade Kevin Durant to the Rockets

    I am not upset with the trade at all. We hit a lot of benchmarks and that’s considering the limited leverage we had on the asset. I also am probably more biased because I like Green and value him higher in the return than others.

    2025 NBA Draft: Suns Presently Have Picks #10, #29, #52, and #59

    Has there been any changes in our scouts with the new coaching regime brought in? We've had a little hope recently with Camara and Dunn being targeted with late picks Also does anyone have any thoughts on PG Ben Saraf? I won't say I've done any extensive research but I saw him mocked to us on...

    Durant to Suns

    I'm in the camp of get the best return for KD regardless of team. The courtesy being that you negotiate with his preferred teams but if they're lowballing you due to that very same principle, you prioritize the team. He has been catered to enough for a guy who (when it all boils down to it)...

    Durant to Suns

    It works 2 fold with me because I'd rather see his free spending and risk taking approach in a less long term damaging scenario. I can't completely bash him because I think he made the immediate moves that he did from an inexperienced and overzealous position. Buying a team fresh in the mix of...

    Durant to Suns

    I have now made peace with the idea of trading KD now and going for a haul by trading Book maybe by the deadline. All the necessary teams with attractive draft capital and a promising young player would most likely be in the mix. This situation has no immediate fixes and I'd rather see a blowup...

    Mike Budenholzer - Officially Suns new Head Coach - NOW FIRED on 4/14/2025

    I don't really know who the viable coaching candidates are but it's very concerning that the position has become a complete turnstile annually at this point. Also the same reasoning is attached for the last 2/3 firings (being bad fits, chemistry, etc), which is a terrible look on the ones doing...

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    I think the circumstances/timing of when he took over the team plays into why he has approached things in that manner. He didn't take over your typical bottoming out, rebuilding team. He inherited a team that just made a finals run and looked to be essentially a piece away. He went for the...

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    This was essentially my thinking. Book would net the large haul... KD would still net you something (more likely a young promising player instead of premium picks)... Managing a Butler situation still undercuts the timeline to get to rebuild mode without a NTC to maneuver around and falls into...
