    Welp, Kuminga just got offered a lot of money. Where does he end up?

    I understand the appeal at first but the more I've researched his game,the worst fit he'd be. He's a less productive Jerami Grant.

    Welp, Kuminga just got offered a lot of money. Where does he end up?

    Kuminga is not a legit PF. That isn't his game or style of play. He doesn't fill a hole. He is slightly taller than Brooks but Brooks plays more like a PF than Kuminga.

    Suns Off Season Changes for 2025-26

    I agree. Halliburton is a special talent but I don't think he becomes a superstar as quick as he has in Phoenix. His development doesn't have the same trajectory.

    Suns Off Season Changes for 2025-26

    This is where the risk is. I believe Grayson, Royce, and Richards are all moveable in time. If we turn 2 of the 3 into Kuminga then we could be trapped like the Bulls are with Patrick Williams or we were with Beal, which was the exteeme example. Setting a price on Kuminga seems fair but if his...

    Suns Off Season Changes for 2025-26

    They aren't on bad deals but definitely not on good ones either. JJ's tenure as GM led to some creative deals, like Shamet's, but he seemed to be against including traditional player or team options. Having a team option on the final years of Royce or Grayson's deal would increase their value in...

    The 2025 NBA Off Season (includes free agency)

    Luka is reportedly a drinker. There were issues when the Mavs made the Finals 2 years ago and the team was celebrating and Michael Finley took a beer out of Luka's hand on orders of Mav's management. The nightlife here in the states has to be more lively than Slovenia. Throw in American beer...

    Welp, Kuminga just got offered a lot of money. Where does he end up?

    Since the Kings are trying to saddle them with DeRozen also, I could see the 1st round pick being a required piece. Monk and Carter for Kuminga is a fair deal in terms of talent but obviously the Warriors don't need guard depth. Monk is better than Hield, marginally, and Carter is a nice...

    Suns Off Season Changes for 2025-26

    I'm surprised by the Bol Bol mention. I think Maluach is Alex Len at worst and a better version of Ayton at best. Time will tell, of course. Since Maluach is essentially all defense now though the Bol Bol mention doesn't make sense to me.

    Suns Off Season Changes for 2025-26

    That's reasonable but that's next summer. I don't see any chance Booker is moved this season, now through the deadline. Maybe I'm wrong but all signs point towards the Suns retooling now and reassessing the future next off-season.

    Suns Off Season Changes for 2025-26

    Booker had better stats than a number of players who received votes for All-NBA but with the new league rules around games played he fell short of qualifying. He wasn't the only guy in that category either as Embiid was a recent MVP and didn't qualify and neither did KD. The production matters...

    You've gone full Smeagol in your campaign for Precious. I love it.

    Suns draft Khaman Maluach with the 10th pick

    The Pelicans sent the #23 pick and their first rounder next year to Atlanta for #13. So that's likely what we would have received. The 2026 pick is the most favorable between their own and Milwaukee's, which they owned. It doesn't appear there is any protection. It's a gamble that may work out...

    Gregory doesn't seem that patient to me. It wouldn't surprise me to learn the Suns inquired about Kuminga and made an offer but I'd be disappointed to learn it was more than a take or leave it offer.

    WNBA Strike ?? Not so fast my friend…

    Are they playing the Fever? I used to get tickets on the floor for the Mercury for a little more than that.

    Welp, Kuminga just got offered a lot of money. Where does he end up?

    It's a player option for the 4th year, reportedly. I'm not a fan. I think that's too much and the option being in his favor doesn't make it more attractive.

    They can be traded individually though and fill 2 different roles. They're still rotation players and that has value. Kuminga wasn't in Golden State's recent playoff rotation until injuries forced Kerr's hand. The Suns have lacked bonafide NBA level rotation players in the not so distant past...

    Suns draft Khaman Maluach with the 10th pick

    I never thought Maluach would fall to us so having the ability to take him was too good to pass up. I am a big believer in Maluach and even if he doesn't pan out, it was the right move to take the top prospect where we were. The Suns have never benefited from lucky breaks so if we make the...

    The 2025 NBA Off Season (includes free agency)

    I'm seeing the opposite in the media, about Golden State holding firm. They reportedly upped their offer today. Here's this from a few days ago that say he's got them in a tough spot since he holds the card with risk of signing the QO. That keeps them from getting a good return...

    I meant worst case for Golden State. Kuminga is their primary asset and was supposed to be their bridge from Steph to the new crop of talent. Definitely not worst case for us. I'm not sold on Kuminga. I'd swap Grayson, Richards, and Oso for him and a 2nd rounder. I would rather pay Kuminga...

    Devin Carter showed some promise in SL and last season. I wouldn't be opposed to a 3 team deal that lands him here over Kuminga. I'm not sold on Kuminga. Worst case scenario is Kuminga takes the QO from Golden State and I feel like he'll start threatening that soon to get his way.

    I love the team NBC is building. They seem to be all in on the NBA which is encouraging. ABC treated it as an afterthought.

    That coveted Laker pick actually ended up being the pick we used to take Mikal. It got passed around and ended up going to Philadelphia and then back to us.

    Got the right mentality. Hopefully they can keep it.
