    The 2019-2020 Around the NBA thread

    I always liked Kevin Love, but being a defensive liability and injury prone, he is simply not worth his actual contract, IMO. He would offer a (slight) upgrade over Saric in rebounding, passing and 3P-shooting but is that worth 90 mil. in 3 years? I do not think so. Since the Suns are a...

    Suns @ Magic Wednesday game thread 12-4-19

    I agree. Actually, I do think that Gallinari is/will be a trade target for the Suns. Tyler Johnson, Okobo or Jerome for Gallinari? The ideal target would be Markkanen but he will take a lot more. Johnson, Okobo or Jerome, 2021 top4 protected 1st for Markkanen, Felicio, Valentine? CHI...

    Kendall Mashall?

    Mavericks @ Suns Friday game thread 11-29-19

    While I mostly agree, I think that the more accurate (and optimistic) comparison as Booker's ceiling is Brandon Roy (without injuries).

    The Suns next big move

    If he keeps playing like this, he is more of a top5 pick than top10.

    Suns @ Nuggets Sunday game thread 11-24-19

    (At least) some of Kaminky's minutes should go to Diallo.

    Suns @ Nuggets Sunday game thread 11-24-19

    Best game from Saric so far in Suns uniform.

    Suns @ Nuggets Sunday game thread 11-24-19

    Lack of Rubio's playmaking and Baynes' spacing.

    I also like the in-game coaching: Okobo and Diallo played well, Monty did let them play. You earned it, you get it.

    Suns @ Nuggets Sunday game thread 11-24-19

    Despite being shorthanded excellent defensive effort from the Suns.

    Diallo is getting warmed up in recent games.

    Suns @ Timberwolves Saturday game thread 11-23-19

    Yes, the Suns could definitely offer one of most exciting packages for KAT, but the starting point is Towns demanding a trade. Otherwise any rebuilding effort would start with dumping Wiggins and Dieng and would continue perhaps trading Covington while building around Towns. In other words...

    Suns @ Timberwolves Saturday game thread 11-23-19

    The question stands, but your above offer is a very poor one from Wolves' point of view. If you add Towns to this team (and you keep Ayton as well), Suns picks' won't be higher than #20 which represent a quite low value. So basically they trade Towns for Okobo, cap relief and late 1st rounders...

    Suns @ Timberwolves Saturday game thread 11-23-19

    Agreed. Of course you would, but I can not see the Wolves accepting a proposal like this. That would remind me of the Leonard-trade, but in that case not only the Spurs were forced to trade him but the danger of Leonard leaving the buyer's team in one year was also alive. Towns is under...

    Suns @ Timberwolves Saturday game thread 11-23-19

    It is not out of question that Ayton will, but right now he is years away from Towns in offense. Besides Ayton's value right now is all-time low.

    It would take more to get Towns.

    Suns @ Timberwolves Saturday game thread 11-23-19

    If Ayton comes back, I see no reason to start Saric over Baynes.

    Suns @ Timberwolves Saturday game thread 11-23-19

    I never was a big fan of Saric and after watching him closely in 10+ games, he seems much more of a good backup than a solid starter. He is a professional, knows the basics of rebounding and positional defense, can score on smaller players in the paint if there is a mismatch, can hit the open 3...

    Suns @ Timberwolves Saturday game thread 11-23-19

    Ugly win, nice effort from the Suns. Booker secured the win with heavy contribution by Oubre and some by Diallo. All other Suns players had a bad game. After getting back Ayton, Rubio and Baynes the Suns will look like a solid play-off team. It's unbelievable what total mess is the Wolves...

    Pelicans @ Suns Thursday game thread 11-21-19

    The problem is that this team without Rubio and Baynes is dangerously close to the last year's Suns because both players have key roles in the much improved offensive and defensive awareness under Monty.

    Heat @ Suns Thursday 11-7-19 game thread

    I saw the Heat in Milwaukee, they played very well. That's a top5 EC team so losing a game against them is not tragical. They played very good defense again and shot the lights out.

    Our Ceiling

    You can cross the Pelicans, there is no way that they will make the play-offs with or without Williamson.

    The Suns next big move

    If Baynes would prove that he can play with Ayton more or less maintaining his effectiveness, I would have no problem to throw a 25 mil./2 years contract at him, sign-and-trade Saric, draft the BPA, sign a backup PF for the MLE, re-sign Carter and call it an off-season.

    The Suns next big move

    Anthony Edwards. No idea how.

    Suns @ Warriors Wednesday 10-30-19 game thread

    Yes, Baynes ticks a lot of boxes as Ayton's ideal frontcourt-partner but he will turn 33 soon.
