    Nobody’s knows but it’s fun to speculate. (Phoenix Suns Rumors). 2026

    I'll speculate here rather than turn the offseason thread into a bunch of fantasy deals. If we decide to shop Jalen Green, which I'm 50/50 on, I'd like to see us work with Chicago. A deal that landed us Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis lines up financially. It actually sheds like $3 million off...

    Not saying it wasn't ugly and embarrassing but it's been forgotten across the league for probably 3 years now. The game moves quick.

    That's part of why I didn't buy into the "Suns are a laughingstock" narrative after getting spanked by Dallas a few years ago. Insane blowouts seem to happen regularly in the modern NBA. Too many teams fall behind because they can't hit a shot and then fall further behind because they...

    2026 off season

    I think if Jalen can stay healthy then we'll improve even if we do run it back. The amount of time he missed is where there's room for improvement. Ideally the second half slump isn't as bad either as we'd only be dealing with guys hitting a wall instead of integrating a key piece like Jalen...

    KD for AD. Before anyone says its crazy, KD is locked in and doesn't have a lot of leverage but the main thing is he's entertained DC before as he's from the area. It's not far fetched. KD would be welcomed home in DC for his final run.

    Either team will get smacked around in round 2. I'd rather see Houston lose now though because it looks worse for KD while the Lakers have plenty of excuses.

    2026 off season

    We need to carry 4 Centers if 3 of them are Williams, Maluach, and Oso. Williams can't stay healthy, Maluach is developing, and Oso is more of a small ball finesse C than interior banger. Even if the 4th guy is a small ball PF/C that's fine. We are ok elsewhere. I don't think we'll have...

    Apparently the league has a new lottery setup to discourage tanking. Voting for approval is soon and would be implemented next draft. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/48619907/sources-nba-eyes-new-anti-tanking-proposal-draft-lottery

    2026 off season

    He may get more but I doubt it's a lot more. There's a lot of players in his archetype out there. He's been traded and waived twice in the last 2 years also, which speaks to how short his resume is. He needs another year like last to see a real increase in pay.

    2026 off season

    I'd like to see Grayson dealt but not just for financial flexibility, I want a forward in return. I'd even package him with Dunn if it helped bring back a starting quality PF. I'd be open to trading Royce but as more of a last item, if we need to shed a few bucks then dump him somewhere. He's a...

    Suns trade for Center Mark Williams

    With how cash strapped we are, second round picks could be more valuable given there isn't a set amount we have to pay guys. It's not a lot of savings but a few hundred thousand makes a difference. We're at the point where we are counting everything as we hover around the tax line, apron, and...

    Suns trade for Center Mark Williams

    I did some more digging to verify where they went and was only right about Utah's involvement. The other 2 teams are Minnesota and Cleveland, which definitely don't help us. https://www.nba.com/news/suns-hornets-trade-mark-williams

    Suns trade for Center Mark Williams

    We're definitely extending the qualifying offer. It's on him and the front office whether a further deal can be reached but we didn't acquire him for just 1 season. We have this next season under control also. I don't think he's proven anything for a raise so ultimately he can hardball us but...

    The Devin Booker non-appreciation thread.

    This thread was peak hilarity in the beginning when he only talked to himself. I'd love to see it happen again. I'm all about an offseason of silence in hopes we can get him talking to the walls again.

    I'm going to keep doubting him since it helped him take a step forward this year. Maybe he needs my negative energy to fuel his workouts.

    Yeah, just above in a tweet from Duane Rankin shared by Adrian. He said we didn't see it in games, which implies he's been working on it already and he isn't starting at 0 this offseason.

    Suns trade for Center Mark Williams

    Just to reiterate the point, the Suns didn't really trade 2 valuable 1st round picks for Williams last year. They dealt the 29th pick from last year and an already leveraged 1st in 2029 for Williams. It is technically 2 1sts but given the fact that one of them has conveyed and what Williams...

    He's an NBA player, which I didn't think he'd become before this season, but he can't play more than 20 minutes a night without adding some sort of jumper. He can claim he's worked on it but it wasn't utilized but I don't buy that. I think anyone buying into that narrative is setting themselves...

    Suns trade for Center Mark Williams

    It sounds like a common big man problem. Humans aren't meant to be 7 feet tall and there's a number of guys who didn't make it due to repeated foot and ankle injuries. There's always some hope that once they stop growing that things Improve, which is where Mark is at age wise and he did set a...

    I agree on everything, especially order of importance. I'd take a risk on Williams around the qualifying offer, $9.6m. if we could keep him for 2-3 years right around the MLE with team options or game played qualifiers giving us a little protection. Back to Goodwin, he is a gamer who makes...

    ESPN has a lengthy offseason guide for us. It breaks down who owns our picks, who we have rights to resign, and who can get an extension. It's all quite extensive. Should be the first one as you scroll down or you can select Phoenix from the list. Worth reading to know what options we have...

    Seeing you act so desperate for acknowledgement used to be sad but I've found it humorous more often than anything the last couple of years. You create these false narratives and just run with them, like you did here trying to say "everyone" is now following your lead. Just add that to the list...

    I can see it now, Minnesota trades for KD. Offering Julius Randle and DiVenczio if/when they choke against Denver. They aren't winning that without Ant. It was the only other team really high on KD last offseason but he wanted Houston.
