    Suns have 6th pick and 32nd pick in 2019 draft.

    This may be the best news I've heard this off season. Russell to NO almost ensures Jrue will leave. Unless they want to run a two PG line up. Plus, it should help with the cost. Especially if Jrue has been telling them he wants out.

    Beverly certainly offers a defensive focus at the PG spot, but Collison is quite the opposite. Beverly finished the year with a 1.31 DRPM (#6 for PGs) while Collison finished with a -.42 DRPM (#41 PGs). (But his RPM was #27 PGs). What scares me with Collison is pairing him up with Book (-2.46...

    Suns have 6th pick and 32nd pick in 2019 draft.

    I'd certainly rather have my 2 choices of Kab/Sekou/Clarke than picking pretty much anyone else at #6. I don't see that much difference in White than Kab. So I'd rather take two shots at the Lotto rather than one. I know we just did the two PF draft a few years back, but I get the feeling...

    Suns have 6th pick and 32nd pick in 2019 draft.

    Clarke vs. Kab is production vs potential. I'm pretty sure we've seen the ceiling and floor on Clarke (fantastic at dunks, boards, and blocks but no 3's). I'm almost positive we haven't seen the ceiling on Kab but there's a long way to go. It's a tough call. I still go with Kab.

    Suns have 6th pick and 32nd pick in 2019 draft.

    I absolutely love taking a shot at Bazley at #32. He's got NBA skills, NBA IQ, and NBA athleticism at 6-9 (albeit very raw). I don't see anyone else in that 2nd round tier that has me more excited than him. I have the opposite feelings on Grant. At 6-7 and with an "old man's" low post game...

    Suns have 6th pick and 32nd pick in 2019 draft.

    This guy has a high ceiling. Maybe the highest at #6 on. If we're looking for a "no risk it, no biscuit" type player, this is a good prospect. If we're looking for immediate production this is not our guy. I like Kabengele more, but I'd be okay with the Suns taking a risk on either of...

    2018-2019 PER Dinwiddie: 16.32 Warren: 16.36 Joe Harris: 13.56 (Their starting SF last year. Probably moves to SG now that Crabbe is gone.) Taurean Prince: 11.99 The Nets might see it as improving their starting SF position while lessening an overpaid back up spot. It's a trade that could...

    Goodness do I agree. Rasheed Wallace reincarnate. But when he quits his "crying" the dude can ball.

    I'm not sure the cost, but most of our commodities at this point are "commodities". I could part with all these parts that don't win us anything for someone that's been productive. Steph and Klay will cost a fortune to keep (minus $30M because Klay got screwed). There is still the slightest...

    Here's my STRETCH thought during our endless off season. If we're going to go looking for a PF and a PG this off season what if we combine them into one guy: Draymond Green. He's probably going to have a hard time resigning with the Warriors. The PG's we've been looking at signing are ALL...

    Suns have 6th pick and 32nd pick in 2019 draft.

    He definitely has questions. But not about his size and length. And not about his ability to block shots at the PF spot. And not really too much with his 3PT% (37%). He also stepped up his game in the tourney with blocks (2.3) and shooting 3's (42%). It tells me he can step up in games that...

    Suns have 6th pick and 32nd pick in 2019 draft.

    So I totally understand why JJ's stock is way down. But someone is going to have to explain to me why anyone would give up almost nothing for JJ and THAT much for Ball. Ball has played in 33% less games, shoots worse in FT% (by 20%!!!) and FG%, and has a confidence that reminds me of my dog on...

    Suns have 6th pick and 32nd pick in 2019 draft.

    I know Main has been stressing Kabengele for a while. Count me in as also a little confused he isn't touted a lot higher. He has amazing all around game. He is active and shows good energy. Good with his hands, which says something when he's got a 7-3 wingspan. But he has to learn to stay...

    FA PG options

    Since we're playing the game "what if Lonzo was our ONLY option at PG", I'm just curious what you all would be willing to give for him. Personally, I'd probably go as high as #32 on a flier that he shows something in the first 3 months and then trade him while his value is higher. I'd gawk...

    What is the plan?

    Yup. One of, if not THE most well rounded PG in this era. (Well, if you consider this era a post Chris Paul era). It really isn't all that much of a compliment to Jrue as it is an indictment on this generation of PGs. It's the worst era of PGs I've ever seen. This positionless basketball...

    What is the plan?

    While it's true he does have an injury history, I completely disagree about not giving up the assets to get him. Jrue is probably one of, if not THE most well rounded PG in this era. He can score, shoot, distribute decently, and most importantly absolutely lock down on D. His PER this year is...

    Plus it's how he's getting those 3's. The one on one step back 3 has become a potent weapon. White already shows a smooth and effective step back. Plus, he got incredible production at one of the elite schools. My biggest concern with Coby is his mental make up. He doesn't come across...

    Would I trade Zion for anything? No. But I learned a long time ago that there are some very foolish people roaming the halls of professional franchises. You know, like people that would trade up for a guy like Markelle Fultz or draft Johnny Manziel. You make the call to NO and Memphis and...

    If we're going to start another rookie at PG, then why not make an offer to Memphis for Ja. Our future assets are minimal at this point. We already have too many "potential" players. Trade multiple picks plus multiple players with "potential" and go get Ja. And while we're at it, gage the...

    James Jones is tight with LeBron. LeBron doesn't seem to believe in Lonzo since he's running the Lakers and is talking about him being traded. Therefore, I'd bet Jones has very little interest in Ball. Although Ball's value is trash. Not sure they'd get much in return for him anyway. He...

    Suns hire Monty Williams

    Sorry, thanks for the correction. COBY Wright is a heck of a player. I'm far more down on Garland than you. He has a considerable amount of red flags. However, he does fall into the high risk/high reward category, so I can see taking a chance on him in the low teens. Also, at least Coby...

    Suns hire Monty Williams

    Colby is a heck of a player. He's a bit too much of a "Combo Guard" and he doesn't come off as the brightest guy, but the guy can flat out score. At the very least he's a BPA kinda pick at #6. I have him 4th behind: 1. Zion 2. Ja 3. RJ I actually like his motor more than RJ, but RJ just...

    Igor Fired

    Good point. If true, then my next question would be "Why would a guy who's spent his entire life coaching basketball, patiently wait for his opportunity to get one of the 30 elite NBA jobs, only to want out after one year?" I mean, it's also possible that he's just so frustrated with the...

    Sorry I'm late to the discussion. I just couldn't muster up the desire to talk about this... again. But, here we go again. Once again the FO proves it's ineptitude. Either they were wrong for hiring Igor in the first place, or they were wrong in firing him after only giving him one year...
