    Suns sign Tyus Jones

    So, how about that Tyus Jones guy?!

    I think with guys like Nurkic, the key is to design your system in a way that maximizes his strengths. He does one thing really well already (rebounding) so he is already useful. He is a very good passer/ playmaker, so you have the guys move and cut on offense. Defensively, there is less you can...

    I agree that it would be nice if Nurkic became a 33% three-point shooter, but I also agree that it's more important to make those damn layups.

    Suns sign Tyus Jones

    I think people underestimate how much Jones will help. Not only is he a real starter-level point guard, but he is also the best point guard when it comes to making simple passes and not turning the ball over. Having him (and/or Morris) on the floor will allow Beal, Booker, and Durant to do what...

    Ayton is fine physically. He just doesn't have a heart or much of a brain.

    Suns sign Tyus Jones

    He is a little undersized and doesn't have great athleticism, so not very good. He is not terrible, but definitely not good. He is not going to get pushed around, but he can't stay in front of quicker point guards. I'd say that both, Beal and Booker, are better defenders.

    Suns sign Tyus Jones

    Royce is not starting, and Dunn is not going to be ahead of Royce in the rotation. Royce is a very good defender, and a good (albeit a streaky) shooter. Jones, Beal, Booker, Durant, and Nurkic will start. Allen and Royce will be the first guys off the bench, followed by Plumlee. That's the...

    Suns sign Tyus Jones

    Oh Jones is going to start, and it's not even close. He was the best free agent point guard, passed on a lot of money to come play here. There is zero chance he doesn't start. I like Morris, but Jones is a full tier above him.

    Suns sign Tyus Jones

    That is a good point. With how this new CBA is shaping out, player's best chance of getting paid is making sure their team has their bird rights. I'd love to see the offers he had. I disagree with the second paragraph though- if I were him, I would absolutely look at this team and their needs...

    Suns sign Tyus Jones

    Jones likely had options where he was going to be a backup (Atlanta, Memphis), or a starter on a crappy team (Washington.) Not many teams have $10-15M to throw around.) He has an opportunity to start on a contender surrounded by KD, Book, and Beal. He saw what happened to Allen's value in one...

    Suns sign Tyus Jones

    I don't think so. Ishbia can't promise anything without getting Jones' bird rights. I think Jones simply recognized that he will look really good playing point guard on a contender for a year which will get him paid next year. Similar to what happened with Allen except that the Suns can't resign...

    Suns sign Tyus Jones

    Oh wow, this is incredible! I had him at the top of my list as a pipe dream. Without looking at the stats, I am pretty sure he's had an insane assist to turnover ratio. I'd be surprised if he averaged one single turnover per game, and if he did, it wasn't much more. He takes care of the ball...

    It doesn't have anything to do with Ishbia- they just don't have the resources to trade. The second they got the "big three" they said goodbye to any significant improvements barring someone just randomly deciding they want to play for the vet minimum in Phoenix.

    Royce O’Neale - 4 year $44m ext

    I do agree that they should start Royce over Allen. They need a defender in the starting lineup.

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    They are not getting anyone better than Royce or Greyson for Little and a couple of picks.

    Monte Morris signs with the Suns

    Good signing. He is good enough at everything the Suns need for the backup point guard spot. You really can't get anything better at the veteran minimum.

    So does Gordon. Lee is an oustanding three-point shooter and not much else. Gordon is a good shooter and nothing else.

    Suns sign center, Mason Plumlee to a one year deal

    Good signing. He is significantly more consistent than Eubanks. Not a game-changer, but he does address one roster weakness.

    I disagree. At this stage of Gordon's career, the re is nothing he does that Damion Lee doesn't.

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    I might be wrong, but I think a simply competent point guard can look like a borderline all-star playing with this roster. Take care of the ball, make a simple pass, run a basic pick and roll, hit an open three. Nothing fancy- just basic stuff.

    Sadly, there is no way to trade for him, even if Indiana wanted to trade him. Little's salary isn't enough.

    I am a huge Bud fan, but he is well-known for refusing to make adjustments.
