Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

[JCSunsfan]

This team has lots of offense. It needs defense. If any of these rookies turns out, ONeal is redundant. We really need to trade Beal and ONeal. Preferably for a quality point guard and maybe a pick of some sort. Guess we will wait on Royce until December.

There is no shot that Beal gets traded. He’s probably got the worst contact in the league.

I'm trying to figure out the Suns roster as it stands at the moment. It is still tentative.

If Damion Lee and Josh Okogie return, it would give the Suns 13 players. The Suns would still have two roster spots open.

The Suns will likely add a point guard, which would get them to 14. That still leaves a room for a 15th standard roster player and two more two-way contract players.

1. Kevin Durant
2. Bradley Beal
3. Devin Booker
4. Jusuf Nurkic
5. Grayson Allen
6. Royce O'Neale
7. Nassir Little
8. Bol Bol
9. David Roddy
10. Josh Okogie
11. Damion Lee
12. Ryan Dunn
13. Oso Ighodaro
14. __________
15. __________


Two Way Contracts:

David Roddy not worth the spot

David Roddy not worth the spot

It looks this way at the moment. Roddy hasn't shown a lot, but he didn't play for the Suns much either.

Hopefully he improves with playing time and age. He is presently 23.

 

[Mainstreet]

Center Thomas Bryant would be an interesting player for the Suns to go after for the vet minimum.

By re-signing Bol Bol, the Suns will get his 2025 Early Bird Rights.

Good that they are bringing him back. He actually showed some real potential for improvement when he got consistent playing time.

 

[Proximo]

Oh I am shocked by this in a good way. We need to give him 20 minutes a game.

Interesting. So he will be eligible for a 12-13M contract after this year if he blows up.

 

[Germz249]

And number two, Beal isn't getting traded.

I figured. Just trying to start crazy rumors and channel my inner Flex mode.

 

[Mainstreet]

Interesting. So he will be eligible for a 12-13M contract after this year if he blows up.

As I understand it, it would allow the Suns to pay Bol Bol 175 percent of his previous salary or 104.5 percent of the average league salary. It's whichever is higher.

Maybe it's time to visit the Waffle House for some insider stuff.

The Suns have at least two roster spots open.

Different things I have read, we still may be looking for a big. In addition to a PG.

 

[Phrazbit]

Suns fans on twitter are pie in the sky. They have it in their heads that we are likely to get Kessler from the Jazz in exchange for Nurk and a future pick.

I'm pretty sure we'd have to pair Nurk with a pick just to get off that contract.

This is a big deal for a team with little ability to add young talent.

Yes, but considering that the Wolves was able to get #8 for a 2031 pick and a pick swap, it is not out of the question that the Suns could get Kessler for Nurkic (who might be a negative value or might be not) and a distant future 1st rounder.

I think it's 10000% out of the question.

The Spurs got 1st for a future unprotected first and a pick swap. The Spurs are gambling that they'll be better than the Wolves down the road... and even if they are not, it's still a pick for a pick.

The idea that the Jazz are going to give up an already solid young player on his rookie deal, for a vet on a terrible contract and a pick 7 years out, it's bonkers.

At minimum we need a starting serviceable PG with a competent backup.

With roster positions dwindling it seems that the coaching staff is considering Beal as the team’s starting PG?

I know. But I can wish—maybe try to speak it into existence.

Which means that Beal has to go to the bench. And if he does where does Allen fit in? Our best chance to get a point guard might be with an Allen trade in 6 months.

You think that Kessler is worth more than #8 of this year?

From Suns' point of view Nurkic is easily replaceable with Little in this proposal.

Whether it's Beal and Booker playing point guard, the Suns still need a rotation point guard. I don't think the Suns are looking for a starter at this position because they don't have the assets and Beal wants to start.

 

[Mainstreet]

This is a big deal for a team with little ability to add young talent.

The Suns still need more size as I view it but keeping Bol Bol certainly lessens the problem. I don't think it's realistic to expect Oso to be the backup center as a rookie.

 

[Mainstreet]

This is what they need as much as I would like to add two point guards. The Suns are still short on size at center.
