    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    I would guess that is just about the exhaustive list, unless someone else unexpectedly gets waived.

    Both things can be true - he is a great player AND he is overrated. There is a lot of evidence that he is NOT a great team guy, and he seems more focused on stat stuffing than winning. Personally, I wouldn't at all be surprised if his career mostly ends up paralleling that of James Harden.

    AYTON TRADED!

    I know we started to compare him to Joe Barry Carroll - i.e., famously nicknamed Joe "Barely Cares." But that's beginning to look like a bit of a slight on Carroll. After all, Joe may have "barely" cared, but at least he cared a little.

    Suns trade for Royce O'Neale and David Roddy

    Yeah, I agree with this. It would be better to take a shot at finding a decent rotation player with a late first rounder than hoping some collection of second rounders will yield any value (even as trade bait). But who knows given James Jones' apparent disdain for the draft.

    Suns trade for Royce O'Neale and David Roddy

    Gee, let's hope. A lot of people seem to forget he was a top 5 or so recruit out of high school. So it's not like he was just some extra tall dude they found on the street somewhere that they talked into playing basketball (more or less, what his father was). He's still raw but if he gets...

    Maybe one... I think.

    Jazz @ Suns Thursday game thread 2-8-2024

    Well, I hope they can pick up another center, because if Nurkic gets hurt or (less critically but more likely) has foul trouble in certain playoff series, the Suns are going to be screwed having to rely on Eubanks and Bol for extended periods, mostly due to being undersized in general. It...

    Jazz @ Suns Thursday game thread 2-8-2024

    Ideally, your backup center is at least someone who can be fairly effective if pressed into a starting role if your starter gets injured. I have a hard time seeing Eubanks as that. A lot of times he plays like a spider monkey on speed. But I'm more dismayed about him because he was one of their...

    All these months and I'm mostly still wondering what they saw in him.

    So I guess we'll get to see if the Suns can win a game with like a seven man roster.

    Suns trade for Royce O'Neale and David Roddy

    Totally on par for James Jones. He has to be one of the most low risk/low reward GMs in the league. And before anyone mentions trading for Durant, we all know that wasn't him.

    He put up 11 points and 5 assists per game, which is more than anybody on the buyout list is probably capable of. At a vet minimum, that wouldn't be bad at all.

    He's already been waived by them.

    Quite possibly, I would as well.

    Check the other thread. Hayes is actually probably one of the better guys available that is getting waived. Not saying he's great by any means, but the pickings are pretty slim.

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    Nobody to get very excited about there. Hayes and Gallinari are (statistically) probably the best players on that list. Maybe Thad Young if he gets cut loose.

    Is his contract status even viable for a pickup?

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    Honestly, I am not too impressed with the "revamped" roster. O'Neale is "maybe/sort of" a minor bench upgrade. Roddy really doesn't bring anything above the four guys we dumped, and downgrades our overall size significantly. I also have a hard time imagining we are going to get any value from...

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    Indeed... that is unfortunate because he's probably the one buyout guy we could have actually used.

    Suns trade for Royce O'Neale and David Roddy

    James Jones may disagree.

    Suns trade for Royce O'Neale and David Roddy

    With Diop and Metu gone, our already shaky interior defense sizing gets even shakier.

    Suns trade for Royce O'Neale and David Roddy

    So basically two undersized wings with suspect shooting and maybe a little defensive upside. Sure sounds like another James Jones haul.

    Apparently, also getting David Roddy from Memphis as part of the trade, according to Shams. I know nothing about David Roddy

    Well, I guess that's about what we were all expecting. Not very exciting, but typical of Suns trade deadlines.
