    Mike Budenholzer - Officially Suns new Head Coach

    I was never really a fan of the Vogel hire. I felt he was a step down from Monty, in spite of all the problems Monty had with Ayton. I like Bud. I am not over joyed, but I have always liked him as a coach. I think this is a solid hire. The problem is that it might be too late for this...

    Mike Budenholzer - Officially Suns new Head Coach

    Wow. He does look better.

    Mike Budenholzer - Officially Suns new Head Coach

    This is probably an improvement. Vogel was a problem in my mind, and I am usually a "stick with our guy" type. Bud had a good run in MI.

    Can we blame Vogel?

    Can we blame Vogel? Yes, I think so, at least partly.

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

    This team has a coaching problem and a personnel problem. This is a defensive-minded coach who did not get any kind of quality defense from a team that has been ok on defense in the past. His track record should have been an indication of that. They went the super team with old guys route--a...

    Cardinals pick at #35

    Trade up. Take them both.

    Suns are frontrunners to sign Bol Bol

    Ok. So the durations for Early Bird and Full Bird are the same. We would have to convince him to sign another one-year deal and then sign him to the max we could under the early Bird later. I think that is a stretch. Some team will pay him.

    Suns are frontrunners to sign Bol Bol

    I would consider moving Beale, depending on what we would get back. A defensive minded pass first point guard would be nice, and then the chance to sign Bol. Not sure how that all would work. I used to have a pretty good understanding of the CBA but I just no longer have time to keep up with...

    Lakers @ Suns Sunday game thread 2-25-2024

    What a horrible idea. This team needs to play the best possible basketball it can coming into the playoffs. Get the chemistry going. Win as many games as possible. Let the chips fall where they fall. Don't screw around with not trying hard, which is losing games on purpose.

    Suns are frontrunners to sign Bol Bol

    Give him a four-year deal at the max that we could give him. Then give him an opt-out as soon as we have Bird-rights to resign him (if that is even a thing anymore). I don't know if you could make it team opt-out clause that would require that the team offer him a higher contract. That would...

    Suns are frontrunners to sign Bol Bol

    I think they would be glad to do that. The problem will be what the league does and does not allow.

    The Grayson Allen thread

    Grayson Allen has such a Dan Majerle vibe. Similar role. Also initially not liked by fans but they grew to love Dan.

    Suns are frontrunners to sign Bol Bol

    Well. If any owner can find a way to keep Bol long-term, it's Ishbia. I do think we need to keep Bol. His physical makeup and skill set give him the potential to be a special player--the type of player we will not be able to draft in the next few years.

    AYTON TRADED!

    I said his defensive presence is much more physical. Exact words. I don't even think that is disputable. Ayton has never been a physical defender.

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    Yes. Plays at full speed, good ball-handler and passer. Aggressive defender. He would be a good leader for when the bench is in. I think he could stabilize a bench crew.

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

    Leaping Lizards! Seems like something Al McCoy would say.

    Pistons @ Suns Wednesday game thread 2-14-2024

    The hallway incident before the game might have prompted quick whistles.

    AYTON TRADED!

    I don't think so. Nurk is a better fit for this team all around. His passing is better. His defensive presence is much more physical. He does not frustrate his teammates like DA. I did not expect that.

    Ish is a solid player.

    2024 Draft Countdown/NFL Prospects thread

    I want Harrison Jr at 4. I would give up a third just to move up a spot to secure him if I had to. Hopefully, the QB craze isn't just draft posturing. Cards have 4 third-round picks? Is that right? Do they package those to move up? If you have an interior line need, I would think that...

    Thaddeus Young to Phx

    extended bench player that hopefully will help from giving up a huge lead in a blowout. Vet player that no longer has the ability to make great plays, but hopefully will not make stupid mistakes. Ok.

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    KD says that Royce can initiate the offense and looking at the highlight that seems to be so. Maybe we should sign Robin Lopez and call it a day.

    Bucks @ Suns Tuesday game thread 2-6-2024

    Bol's defense is a bit of an enigma. He can bother a lot of shots but he gets pushed around. It looks like JJ is going with a larger role for Bol in the second half of the season. KD looks like a father/older brother figure for him. He is the best young prospect we have.

    Suns trade for Royce O'Neale and David Roddy

    Finding a really solid 8 man rotation is key for this team. It does not do much good to have a string of players 6-12 deep that are all virtually the same in mediocre impact. Sounds like the players and teams around the league see ONeal as a significant defensive player. Hoping he can play a...

    Suns trade for Royce O'Neale and David Roddy

    Ha! Wide body, moves ok. 8 inch vert. Yikes. He bounces like a water balloon.
