Suns trade for PF Darius Bazley

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Saric and a 2nd is the cost

Is this a good move for us?

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Suns' Darius Bazley: Traded to Phoenix

 

[Chaplin]

He is LOOOONG. Like the potential and certainly more athletic than Dario.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Awwww gonna miss super Dario

Like busy moves at deadline by new gm he is def trying

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Is this a good move for us?

22 year old who was pretty good before this season. This season not so much. Clearly someone James likes though

 

[Proximo]

Yes. This looks like a very good deal to me.

Apparently CP3 was in OKC during his rookie year. CP3 pulling the strings there?

 

[JCSunsfan]

Long-armed. Blocks some shots. Shooting 18 of 45 from three this year.

It's not that he has been bad this season, it's that he hasn't gotten a lot of playing time.

 

[Yuma]

Shooting 40 percent from three, 7 foot wingspan, can defend the three point line, athletic.

 

[Yuma]

Lots of info on him in other thread.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

I really like us countering with youth and athleticism after Durant

That kinda deflects from, how do we replace those draft picks. THIS. Pick up young guys who are available!

 

[Covert Rain]

Better defender too.

 

[Raindog]

Pretty obviously an upgrade in athleticism from Dario, who was only going to be here another few months anyway, and was probably going to be glued to the bench during the playoffs. I don't really see a downside.

 

[elindholm]

Hussle/project guy who can't really shoot, but is long and still young. Makes sense. The Saric experiment was a disaster from the beginning, and it's good to get it over with a few months early. RFA this summer.

I like taking a risk on a former first round pick who is 22 years old at 6'9" and a 7 foot wing span. This is how you make up for trading away first round picks. Pick up or trade for first round picks!

Sad to see Dario Saric leave, but this is one trade I like. I've always liked the talent of Darius Bazley.

Saric was one class act. I wish him well.

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

He’s looooooong

 

[Muggz]

Another PF with the body of a SF. He IS long. But wont be throwing that 125lb body around much.
Put him on a bike feed him pasta and beer and call me in a year.
I'll miss Dario for sure.
All our Mascots are gone now just Cam P left.

After we win a few chips. I wouldn't mind going back to the scrappy team with players I like.

Maybe we'll bring back Frank Kaminsky if Houston releases him. Nobody mascots like Frank does.

Ish Wainright comes very close. The thing is, Phoenix gets something out of these players.

I do miss Frank. Wish the Suns had room.
