[Covert Rain]

The Suns want to bring back Royce O'Neale, Josh Okogie and Bol Bol per Gambo.

Oh....and I admit I was wrong about Bol Bol. I thought he was a complete waste of a roster spot when they first picked him up.

I am OK with all of those. They are legit bench pieces IMO.

The Suns are not going to get any better and the Suns will need to keep Royce O'Neal for their rotation and possible trade later on.

Hopefully Mike knows how to use Bol Bol more productively if he comes back.

I am not ready to say that yet. Vets always fall through the cracks. However, we do need to hang on the ones that have been productive even if inconsistently.

Except for O'Neale, who is a rotation player, I'm looking for players that can fill out a 15-man roster. Bol Bol and Okogie do that. It's hard to get much better depth for the money.

Suns really need to add depth in at least two key positions, center and point guard.

I hope someone locks Okogie in a gym and makes him shoot 1000 3pt shots a day. He doesn't need to be Grayson Allen, but he needs to hit at least a league average on wide open 3pt looks or else teams will just keep leaving him open to clog the paint.

It might never happen. Okogie shoots only .402 from the field and .293 from 3-point range after 6 seasons.

Those just seem like no brainers to me.

I am with you. They should make the Suns 15 man roster should they choose to stay.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'd like to have Daniel Theis on the Suns roster. I like his no nonsense play and toughness.

I’m in, good addition

Rumors are circulating Royce O'Neale will sign a 4-year deal with the Suns. This is being attributed to Marc Stein in a Substack story.

A four year deal? Wow. Didn’t expect it to be that long.

The Suns really need O'Neale if nothing more than he is a rotation player and his salary can be used in a trade down the road.

They lose exclusive negotiating rights in five days.

I like O'Neale and think he is a solid rotation player. I like it. As you stated, it's been speculated for months that the Suns could also use him in a trade at the next deadline if need be.

The Suns may have to overpay for O'Neale, but that is on them. I doubt if any teams would throw a lot of money at him in free agency.

It might never happen. Okogie shoots only .402 from the field and .293 from 3-point range after 6 seasons.

I've never look at his % for shooting, but my gosh they are awful, even free throw shooting. Hopefully we can draft someone bigger and move on from JO. I like his heart and energy but in the NBA if you can't shoot you shouldn't be played or take up a roster spot these days, proved in the last 2 playoffs.

Cam Reddish is available, bigger and slightly better % lol.

I hope the Suns give James Wiseman a look. They need depth at center.

If the Suns can't find any better point guard candidates, get Raul Neto who I believe went to play overseas.

Another point guard candidate, I wouldn't mind if the Suns could sign Reggie Jackson to a vet minimum contract.

Bol is the only one that really matters.

He could be a real useful bench player. I would be shocked however if he stays, I really think someone will offer him more than the min.

He is 34 and the reason Denver was willing to let him go is because he was a liability on defense and was extremely inconsistent offensively last year. His age isn't going to improve that and commits dumb fouls because he can't stay in front of anybody.

The Suns may not have a better choice but not sure he fits the Mike B. defensive focus he allegedly has for this team.

I still wouldn't mind having Jackson on the 15-man roster unless the Suns can find better. He was a thorn in the Suns side with the Clippers.
