    KD and Beal Trade Recap

    The team as composed was not going anywhere, particularly with Monty as the coach. So, we have a much better chance to win the title.

    2023 Phoenix Suns Offseason

    Bruce Brown is gone, for sure, as Denver do not have the MLE nor early Bird right to sign him.

    Suns Salary Situation 2023 offseason

    It's not sure there is any bargain trade available down the timeline, but in our luxury tax situation, 10m salary may costs us 30m in tax. The expected value for such manuver is extremely low.

    Suns trade for Beal

    Larry Nance Jr. is AG type of athlet without the off. game. Actually, if the rumor of Zion for #3 or #2 pick goes through, I'd like to see DA for Vulan + Nance + picks trade. For NOs, it's youth and dev. potential vs. aging rotation players.

    Should Ayton be Traded?

    The story about Monty treatment for Jae and DA has the effect to raise DA's trade value.

    Should Ayton be Traded?

    Found this on the RM board: "Flex basically discusses how surprising it was to get Beal for almost nothing! ... - Talks about how they currently don't have enough depth But the Suns have a few specific plans in place to address depth through an Ayton trade. - He says that there are currently at...

    Should Ayton be Traded?

    Kennard has an insane 3p shooting %. If both are healthy, I'd go for it.

    Suns trade for Beal

    good read! As long as Beal's health is no issue, it's a great move by the Suns.

    Suns trade for Beal

    With KD/Book/Beal in place, I'd like Okogie (maybe the bi-exc)，Landale (4m/y?), Biyombo (min) and Saben Lee (min) come back for sure; and our other FAs maybe. Craig's role maybe easily replaced with min-players available at trading deadline, thus not worth 5m/y he'd ask, now we are way way over...

    Suns trade for Beal

    This trade is a very risky business decision, even though the potential upside is very high. We need to make sure that all 3 are healthy come playoff time. The next step is to trade DA for rotation players. Hornets may want him? For Williams and Oubre (s&t) maybe?

    TRADES

    Beal if playing has a game like Irvine, but he is always injured and takes up a huge cap room for 5 more years. Trading for him is way too risky. I'd rather take the Boston deal of CP3 for Brogdon + sth. And somebody mentioned Ayton to Spurs for KJohnson.

    2023 NBA Playoffs - Other Teams

    2023 NBA Playoffs - Other Teams

    The push/drop shots Joker puts up have a soft bounce on the rim then spinning forwards, even after absorbing contact he could quickly readjust the touch to make it fall with high likelihood. Ayton's hook shot feels flat and hard, requires higher precision at release and thus easily disrupted...

    Let bygones be... Forget Mikal and CamJ. Let's focus on building a team around Book/KD. The future is bright as is.

    2023 Phoenix Suns Offseason

    If used properly, CP3 could last into the finals and be at least as effective as Jason Kidd then and Lowry now. Monty let him play too many minutes that always end up in fatigue and associated injuries. His cost this new season is effectively 15m, which Suns'd save by waiving him. Cutting his...

    Suns hire Frank Vogel as next head coach

    upsides. Jaylin's is maybe Capela and Rooney. Chet's not sure. DA's is 18/10 upwards.

    Suns hire Frank Vogel as next head coach

    I guess the team feel they owe CP3 to give him a chance to win one title before retirement. I looked up some teams rosters and actually believe OKC might be a good trading partner. DA for either of Dieng and Jaylin W. + one of Waters, Joe, Wiggins, and 20+m trade exc. OKC have too many similar...

    No, he was not, Okogie was it from game 2 on. Shamet was second with hustle for sure.

    2023 NBA Playoffs - Other Teams

    Bam is much more agile and with better understanding of the game, to put pressure on opponents' D. Ayton reactions are too slow, giving defense time to adjust.

    2023 NBA Playoffs - Other Teams

    Heats' recipe is, defense and trusting confident role players who their coach well prepared over regular seasons for exactly such occations. Star players will get contained in playoffs by good defensive teams, leaving some openings for role players to beat them. Heats did just that. Suns failed...

    Suns hire Frank Vogel as next head coach

    Not only 3pt shooting, he might be the best C to defend Jokic one-one as both are not that quick. His rim protection is also among the best in NBA. We also could reunite him with his twin Robin here for nice retirement location, 3 years down.

    Suns hire Frank Vogel as next head coach

    It's all about opportunity costs. Say if the Spurs see DA's potential, but currently they are not luring any superstars interested in signing there as FA, their cap may better used on DA for 3 years. A gamble worth taking.

    Suns hire Frank Vogel as next head coach

    The perfect C for Suns would be Brook Lopez, who is a FA. I'd ship DA for cap space and 2 first-rounders, if we'd convince Brook to sign the MLE.

    Suns hire Frank Vogel as next head coach

    Ross improved quite a bit defensively over the short span on the Suns. His defense was Ok in the Denver series. I blame it on the bad Magic team where he was not asked to play D of any sort. This Vogel hire gives hope that we can use Okogie and Craig better than Monty did. Okogie particular is...
