    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    Talent wise, I don't think we'll get anyone better than Gordon, but I don't think he'd be missed. He openly complained to the press about touches, he played lousy defense, he continued his career long trend of missing games for mysterious injuries. I'd rather get a young, hungry player, over a...

    2024-2025 Around the NBA Thread

    You and @Cheesebeef covered this pretty thoroughly, but I will believe Lonzo is healthy when I see it... for a couple uears. Dude has missed the last 2 and a half seasons entirely, and even before that, he was missing 30-40 games per year. I cannot recall a player missing so much time and...

    It’s good that they’re moving on. Ball’s injury really screwed them but the Lavine, Derozan pairing never was going ton work. Lots of empty calories.

    His shooting stats might not look bad, but that is with the opposition begging him to shoot. Some of the defense employed against him has been comical, dudes literally run away from him when he has the ball at the three point line. He might learn how to shoot, he's still really young... just...

    He can pass and rebound... that's about all he does well. If Chicago isn't going to give him a lot of ball handling opportunities then I cannot fathom the logic here, especially given how coveted Caruso is around the league.

    Maybe Giddy will learn to shoot… but until that happens, point guards who can’t shoot and don’t defend are pretty useless, no matter how good they can pass.

    Monty Williams Fired (Hired by Detroit)

    His beef with Crowder didn't do us any favors either, and that one I've never heard any explanation for. The issues with Ayton were self evident, but Crowder has been lauded as a real pro everywhere he's been. I hope that someone eventually spills the beans on what happened in the 2022 playoffs...

    NBA Finals Boston vs Dallas (poll)

    The foundation of that team came from their historically lopsided trade with Brooklyn in 2013. Both Brown and Tatum are a result of that deal. Pretty remarkable that they had some high profile moves go completely sideways (Hayward, Walker, Irving) but they still had such a bounty that it didn’t...

    Monty Williams Fired (Hired by Detroit)

    He seemed completely burned out during the 23 season. IMO, he only went to Detroit because they made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.

    2024 NBA Draft talk: Suns own pick 22

    Finley was traded for Kidd. Nash got traded because we had Kidd, KJ and Nash. We got a future draft pick that ended up being Marion for Nash.

    I've been beating this same drum on Luka for several years. IMO, the narrative isn't new. He's one of the best players in the league, no question, he's also the one superstar that no one else even hints that they want to play with. He's a phenominal individual talent... I also think he's...

    NBA Finals Boston vs Dallas (poll)

    I couldn’t disagree more. Giving finals MVP to a player who’s team lost in 5 would be insane, especially when they went down 3-0 with that player playing selfish and borderline toxic basketball. Luka is a great player, no doubt, but much of this series was a broad display of his shortcomings.

    It will probably slip by the collective NBA memory in a few years but this is an all time bad deal. Bucks broke up a previous title winner that just had the best record in the league. Gave Boston a key cog in a team that won a title the next season.

    I disagree. Brown was a lot better than Tatum the first 3 games, especially on D.

    Really bizarre that they didn’t play this game yesterday. Was the NBA scared of tipping off against the last few holes of the US Open or something? Sunday, Father’s Day… should have been a ratings bonanza.

    Brown should get MVP, I think Horford probably retires, always liked him. Solid all around player. He’s the only rotation guy Boston might lose. They should be heavy favorites again.

    If Booker is your best defensive guard… that is a problem, especially if he is backed by trash on the inside. Again, Booker wasn’t “terrible” on D, he was mediocre. Gordon, Beal and Allen were all much worse.

    You're exaggerating his struggles last season. The only guard that played better defense on our roster last year was Okogie. Booker went from being very good to very average... but a lot of that was him being tasked with guarding the oppositions best guard (again, unless Okogie happened to be on...

    Suns Announce Plans for a G-League Team in 2024-25

    Quite a few of the raw, defensive guards from that era of Suns basketball are currently enjoying solid careers. But, to be fair, I wouldn't be surprised if every team in the league has had a few young prospects that their franchise couldn't find time for and went onto become a decent role...

    I agree, and this has gone on for a few seasons running. He and Harden are extremely similar. Their play styles are near mirror images, the foul baiting, the ball dominance, the inattentiveness to defense. But in some wild way, Harden shows up fat to start the year, then plays his way into...

    Suns Announce Plans for a G-League Team in 2024-25

    If it is anything like other expansion drafts, the other teams can "protect" most of their roster from selection. Honestly, I am actually surprised I've even heard of some of these guys.

    To be honest, I didn't even know they did G-League drafts. I thought it was first come first serve at that level.
