    That is a good pick. Teams often miss the obvious. His size and skills are just dominating.

    Wow. Hornets with another French player.

    2024 NBA Draft Thread

    Reed might end up being the best player in this draft. He is incredibly athletic. Kid had a 42 inch vert and is very fast. He is also the best shooter in the draft and probably a top 5 defender in the draft. Yeah, I would trade Durant to Houston for a package of picks if it included him. I...

    2024 NBA Draft talk: Suns own pick 22

    I like these players in this draft. Kolek--would love this pick. Edey--I doubt he slips but I would take him if he does. Dunn--I like the defense, I am afraid of the shooting. Mogbo--for me, he might be the sleeper of the draft. He does a lot of things well and moves on the court like a pro...

    This is Houston using Smith, to create conflict with the Suns and force a trade.

    Reed Shephard is really interesting if some trades go down. That kid plays D, distributes, and shoots the lights out.

    Coming in this morning, the guys on the radio said that the Suns desperately want to unload Durant, but Houston wants Booker, not Durant.

    Are The Suns Cursed? Book it!

    We didn’t need Durant. Booker has regressed since Durant arrived. What we needed was a top point guard to replace Chris Paul. Jrue would have been nice. We had a rookie owner who got stars in his eyes because he could get a player he worshipped. This is why I even have a hard time paying...

    I love Mikal. Good grief, I still can’t bear to take his mug off my avatar which has been there since he was drafted. But the Knicks WAY overpaid for Mikal. That’s what teams do when they are taking what they believe is the last step. I would love to have Mikal and Cam still here. But I...

    Mike Budenholzer - Officially Suns new Head Coach

    I get that. But what I am taking about is the "if we trade this guy for that guy, then we will have traded these three guys for only that." You cannot undo the past. Learn from it but don't let past failures keep you from making the right deal in the present.

    Mike Budenholzer - Officially Suns new Head Coach

    Our “big three” is a flawed group. In an effective big three there is a defensive specialist, Uber rebounder, or a distributor floor general. We have no of those. We have three scorers. In an ideal world Beal has to go. However he is the least tradable of the three. Someone like Jrue (in...

    2024 NBA Draft talk: Suns own pick 22

    This draft is interesting. To me there are some really marginal international players at the top and some intriguing prospects at the end of the first and in the second round.

    He is bigger than Okogie. He is also a very good scorer around the rim. He can guard five positions.

    2024 NBA Draft talk: Suns own pick 22

    FWIW someone was saying his shooting in workouts has been much better. Might be that he just didn't shoot that many in college, so his stats were low. If that is the only problem, I like the guy. The thing that has me concerned is his fT shooting. And, of course, if he was a good shooter, we...

    2024 NBA Draft talk: Suns own pick 22

    So Gambo just said that Ryan Dunn is high on the Suns radar. Dog defensively. Guards 1-6. Really long arms. Great rebounder. Can't shoot the three but is decent as a cutter and at the rim—good fit for this team. To put it in perspective, Mikal was 6-7 with a 7-1 wingspan. Dunn is 6-7.5...

    Tankathon has Zack Edey falling past us. Watching the tape of him. He is slow, but seems to have good hands and a really nice drop step and hook shot. He blocks shots just because of his size. He will not defend out to the three point line but he does set some pretty amazing picks. He is also...

    We didn’t give up on him. We traded him for Kidd who was universally considered the better player at the time.

    Looking backward in trades is a loser proposition. Regret only leads to more regret. They just need to make the best move for the team right now.

    2024 NBA Draft talk: Suns own pick 22

    I see the offensive highlights, but how is Kolek as a defender? I have checked out of the NBA for a while. Last year's team was rather uninteresting, and I have been a Suns junkie for years. Its just that the team looked destined for disappointment. I was pretty much into the NCAA tourney...

    2024 NBA Draft talk: Suns own pick 22

    It is easier to add from free agency a vet minimum player that can contribute than to get two players that contribute in the late first round or second round. This is a draft that might have a decent player fall into the mid first round (Suns level). To me it does not really have any clear...

    It would be the only reason. Just for giggles. Would LeBron be our point guard? I hate the idea of LeBron coming here because I don't really like him. But if he did come, I would just make him the full time point guard on this roster.

    "It's like Looney Tunes around here" - A Suns source reveals how chaotic the organization is under new owner Mat Ishbia

    And they have money to spend. I am going to take this with a bit of a grain of salt. Ishbia made his money with a company that is 95% sales. He is a salesman. Actually, there is nothing wrong with having a salesman as an owner. I assume he will start to get it and will let the people who...
