    Bradley Beal will be re-evaluated in 3 weeks.11/17/23

    I am OK with them resting him plenty to get him to where he needs to be. I don't like it, but I'd rather he gets right early in the season than to break down just before the playoffs. I could have sworn he had back issues before, but I cannot find the supporting evidence, so I guess I am going...

    Suns @ Warriors Tuesday game thread, 10-24-2023 - SEASON OPENER

    It was a solid game for three quarters. Not sure what happened in the third- they just couldn't hit anything. I was pretty happy with defense. It looked good and consistent. Booker was excellent. I am actually really impressed with him being the primary play maker. Okogie really impressed me...

    AYTON TRADED!

    I was tired of Ayton, but I don't understand this. I imagine that Booker and KD wanted DA gone.

    Should Ayton be Traded?

    All I can say is that the Suns must be doing a great job, since the biggest thing we can find to talk and complain about is Cam Payne.

    23-24 Season Win Prediction

    I am going to say 50-ish wins. I think all the main guys will miss some time, and I really don't think they'll be chasing some records when it comes to the regular season. I also do think it will take a while for everything to gel properly. I have a feeling Frank will experiment with different...

    Most exciting offseason ever??

    I was even more wrong. I had watched Doncic a lot, and I knew he was going to be a very good player. I still wanted Ayton. I thought Ayton was going to be better than he turned out to be, and I thought Luka was not going to be quite as good as he turned out to be.

    2023-24 Around the NBA Thread

    Was she singing, "Hit me baby, one more time" by any chance?

    The Starting 5

    To some degree, the Suns have a similar problem they had last year. Their bench is deeper, roster is overall significantly stronger, but they still don't have the fourth starter. Ideally, that would be your point of attack defender who can make an open three. Essentially, a Mikal Bridges. Okogie...

    Eric Gordon signed

    This is huge! I love all of the other signings this off-season, but this one is absolutely critical. While Gordon is not in his prime anymore, he is still a solid rotation player who can create his own shot, bring the ball up the floor, and run the offense. In my opinion, this is the most...

    2023 Phoenix Suns Offseason

    I think it would be a good signing. Veteran point guard who is still competent would be very valuable to this team.

    2023 Phoenix Suns Offseason

    To be fair, he is bat-ish crazy, so while I agree it's not going to happen, he'd be the one guy that could do it and it wouldn't surprise me.

    You Good? (with how Suns are operating)

    I am somewhere between "Very good" and "I don't know, man" options. I have not experienced this before. I start to have some concerns (trading young talent for aging vets, trading draft picks, etc) but then I remind myself that the Suns have and owner who has money and is not afraid to spend it...

    2023 Phoenix Suns Offseason

    I can't imagine he'd get a much bigger contract elsewhere.

    Suns trade for Beal

    Suns trade for Beal

    So I am excited, but this contract situation is going to be terrifying. Now we can hope that some good dudes accept minimum contracts.

    Center wish list

    Of course he wouldn't have been better than Ayton, but I'd love to see Frank back. He does give you a different look at the Center spot. I actually think he would be an outstanding signing at the vet. minimum.

    2023 Phoenix Suns Offseason

    How?
  18. SirStefan32

    2023 Phoenix Suns Offseason

    Ah, that's true! They might get under if they waive and stretch Shamet.
  19. SirStefan32

    2023 Phoenix Suns Offseason

    For that, they needed to stretch him. They are still over by almost $10M, I think.
  20. SirStefan32

    2023 Phoenix Suns Offseason

    Yeah, I honestly did not think that was possible, but it appears it might happen.

    Suns hire Frank Vogel as next head coach

    Over the cap- yes. Over the luxury tax threshold- no. Waiving and stretching Paul would give them bigger mid-level exception and the other bi-annual exception. That said, I do agree that the Suns can't rely on CP3. I also don't know of a way to have CP3 on the roster not at his current salary...

    Suns hire Frank Vogel as next head coach

    Losing to the Bucks was probably worthy of being called a collapse, but I could understand it. They were just a solid, experienced team, while the Suns were in their first deep playoff run. Experience is important, and outside of Paul and Crowder, the Suns' players had none. I think it was a...

    Suns hire Frank Vogel as next head coach

    Solid hire! I loved his Indiana teams back in the day. He will take care of the defense for sure. On offense, he is obviously used to coaching stars, but I am not really sure how good he is when it comes to offense. He is better than Monty, but I really don't know just how good he is. Not a sexy...

    Monty Williams Fired (Hired by Detroit)

    I am really happy for Monty.
