The thread killa strikes again *formerly Quagmire*
What is the impact of getting a '29 pick back? Did they have control of our '29 pick or is it purely a Hornets controlled pick?

Least some good news for today.
Allen and Oneale must have been shopped for a while now and no takers.
looks like we're not done

Amazing… in a league where three point shooting is king, we literally don’t have ONE great shooter in the entire starting lineup.

Their contracts made them virtually untradable without sweeteners thanks to the CBA tax aprons hitting hard.

That's a positive. The idea of pairing up knuckleheads would be idiotic. I'm not a fan of Bridges but I believe Ishbia wants to help him rehab his whole image as a fellow Spartan.

It made the idea of trading for Isaiah Stewart look tame.

Whatever anyone does think of Bridges personally, it does give the Suns at least some potential for being decent on the court next year... depending on how it impacts team chemistry, which is a BIG question mark. It's going to be hard to say for certain until other shoes potentially drop.
I think the roster as it was before the trade was dead in the water. There was no way that team wasn't backsliding in a big way due to terrible construction and injury risk. They now have what is somewhat closer to an actual starting lineup.
On the other hand, their front office (apparently driven by ownership) still seems utterly clueless about building on foundational talent and valuing the draft. It seems like they are inclined to doubling down on trying to take shortcuts with risky short term fixes and shots in the dark.

So much for the thought that Allen could net a late lotto pick.

Yeah, this roster construction, as of right now, looks like something the Bulls, Kings or… the post Amare Suns put together.

Suns loading up on larger forwards is not a bad thing, although my taste is slightly different.

More like Isiah’s Knicks from the mid-2000’s.
Miles is going to surprise some Sun fans. Watched him all year he is really good

With the CBA it's always about the contract and player in a delicate dance.

I'm better than Mulli!
I think they see Fleming and peat as swing forwards. Realistically all three of them can likely evolve into interchangeable combo forwards. Mind you, I said “can” not “will.”
And yeah, I hate having this guy on the team . . . for now. All I know about him is the bad he’s done. Reform is a real thing. If he’s reformed himself - legitimately (and there’s no way we’ll ever know that) - I hope he can lead a nice life again. The life of a multimillionaire athlete just because he’s he’s big and athletic? Eh, we reward the wrong things in this country.
my brain still can't conceive all the different lineups this means - got my blunt rolled and im like damn
we're going the hole a lot more this year - what's cool is we've kept our speed doing it - but miles fleming and koa can also bulldoze
