    Deandre Ayton facing 25 game suspension

    I started to have trepidation's about this guy's maturity, desire to win since allegations levied against U of A earlier this year regarding Ayton's 'pay for play.' And now this... Ayton had a 'nice' rookie season but fun loving, affable and immature all lead to bust traits IF you are a center...

    Oubre Re-signed

    Somewhat restores my faith in the organization after the debacle that occurred a few weeks ago, with the selection of college players..... Go Suns.

    Suns hire Monty Williams

    Great hiring.. Looking forward to next month's draft. Go Ja! You know you want him in a Sun's Uni!

    Is the draft terrible for is if we don't get Zion? Morant might be just as good for us.

    Fair point, and 'project' might be the wrong word for Deandre but 'prodigy' sure doesn't describe Ayton either. Very inconsistent effort, drive, aggressive demeanor, heart, Whatever adjective you want to attribute to this kid's rookie season. Ayton showed promise definitely. I think Morant makes...

    Is the draft terrible for is if we don't get Zion? Morant might be just as good for us.

    He is better than any guard on our roster at this very moment! If he's there and Xion is gone, you don't even hesitate. You take this kid. Jesus.. A kid this aggressive. creative, is going to suffer turnovers at the NCAA or the next level. The upside to his play making ability and creating wide...

    Morant: 10/4 and 8 at the half. Not to shabby.

    Kelly Oubre...

    Thanks Poop Head, Phrazbit and AZStevenCal. Like I said I'm trying to learn and get back in touch with the NBA and the Suns. You guys would know better than my last memories of Sun's playoff nemesis. And you guys are right, Oubre jr. is a different sort of player. Both tho' were/are aggressive...

    Kelly Oubre...

    I liken him to Bruce Bowen in stature. Bowen a bit smarter on the defensive end, Oubre a bit better on the offensive end. Both players had/have that aggressive mentality. Jmo.

    Kelly Oubre...

    Production wise, both Oubre and Ariza have helped their respective teams. But age wise? I sure as hell hope the Sun's get Kelly signed long term. I love what the guy brings to the floor, starter or off the bench. Git 'er done JJ or whom ever is running the club.

    Knicks @ Suns 3-6-19

    Which mid-career PG would you like to see acquired? I'm guessing you believe Crawford is over the hill, age wise, tho' he's played some very good minutes and has been a nice mentor for the youth this season. I'm in agreement with the need and tho' I kind of agree with you on another young 'rook'...

    Ja, Anyone?

    Good post and I agree. Look, beyond a miracle and the Suns getting #1 for a second straight offseason, I think Morant is the guy@2 or 3.

    Evaluating James Jones as acting GM

    BC867 Thanks for the reply, and I will look this info up as I'm Colangelo fan, I'm a clod for not remembering John Macleod, I called him McClane? Thanks for the correction. Anyway, Just want to contribute any info I come across regarding the Suns. And I want to be accurate too, so thank you guys!

    Evaluating James Jones as acting GM

    Thanks very much for the encouragement. I should've been better prepared. Honestly, I've been a fan since (or after) the Mclane, Nance years til Jerry & Cotton got here. Anyway, you guys who follow this team, upper management, ownership( I have an opinion re; this guy) are better qualified to...

    Suns @ Kings 2-10-19

    I agree to an extent. So Sick of seeing Ayton outside the arc setting meaningless screens only to have some clown chuck up a brick as the shot clock dwindles. But in fairness, you rarely see Ayton back into his man around the paint, setting advantage and demanding the ball unless its a switch...

    Evaluating James Jones as acting GM

    Guys, thanks for the info on the Oubre acquisition. I'm new this season to the forum so I do appreciate the more knowledgeable posters setting me straight on Suns activities.

    Evaluating James Jones as acting GM

    Guys, forgive me, I remember reading the Suns trading for Brooks, Suns thought they were getting Dillion and the Grizz thought they were sending MarShon Brooks in a proposed 3 way? So JJ got the guy he initially wanted as I understand it?(Oubre) The Oubre acquisition, to my mind then, is a...

    Evaluating James Jones as acting GM

    omg.. you're right and I am an idiot BUT I did know that, I just completely forgot about it. I've been enamored with Oubre's play as a Sun. Thanks for making me feel stupid which I completely deserve.

    Evaluating James Jones as acting GM

    The Ariza for Oubre trade validates JJ deserving a shot at the June draft. JJ's strategy whether to go young again with a starting point guard pick, or Zion, if the Suns were to some how get that magic ball for a 2nd straight year or to even shop the pick around (if not the #1 over all) for a...

    A little perspective on DeAndre Ayton

    You're right, 20 lbs may be too much an probably unattainable at his young age. He'll fill out in the next few years naturally. He should still continue or start a weight program under qualified trainers, imo, ofc. Improved conditioning will be great too, especially the way he covers ground so...

    Glad the Suns are playing today. Having NFL with drawls. Go Suns!

    A little perspective on DeAndre Ayton

    Heavy duty weight training this off season with a mad calorie intake and he can bring that 20 lbs of added muscle into the 2019- 2020 season. He'll be fine as long as someone on that bench gives him the ball and the suit on the bench calls out plays for him. I still believe the Suns made the...

    Would You Trade Josh Jackson for Lonzo Ball?

    JJ starting to play some of his best basketball this season. I wouldn't want the headache of Levar Ball being a strain on a young locker room. Look, Zion is everyone's first choice in this upcoming draft, But if the Sun's don't get that number #1, draft the best point guard. Get the kid from...

    Ja, Anyone?

    Agree but somehow I don't think the Sun's will get the number one pick again this off season. just a hunch.

    Ja, Anyone?

    Ja Morent (Murray State) needs to be this organization's first pick this June. These clowns like Okobo,:rolleyes: Crawford,*respect to a great NBA career,* Tyler Johnson(?):rolleyes: are not cutting it at the PG position while I know Crawford coaches and has helped the roster leadership wise...
