[Mainstreet]

Mason Plumlee is a solid backup center, although his stats have declined the past two seasons. He is 34 years of age.

Plumlee was a thorn in our side every time we played the Clippers. Will be interesting to see if he provides more than Drew Eubanks. Guessing he will be more consistent at least...

 

[Proximo]

Well, the roster is going to at best be a push from last year.

I don’t understand how they can possibly think that is good enough.

Plumlee is an upgrade IMO, if any of the rookies can contribute and our two way player can contribute and we still manage to find a PG? I would say there is a shot to be a slightly better bench. The problem? It's a ton of "ifs".

Gordon is a lot bigger loss than anyone is admiting. We don’t have anyone to floor space like him, and make the occasional roll to the rim.

Even if all the rookies work out perfectly(they won’t) we still can’t compete in the west.

That's why I said there are a bunch of "ifs". Go back to earlier in the threads. I said Gordon was a big bench loss IMO.

I don't know that it's "good enough" but I've liked every move they've made this offseason. Of course, mostly I'm just buying into the hype like many of us did with our player additions last season. These additions will probably disappoint again this season but it's not like we had a lot to work with so I'm happy with what we've done (so far).

I wish the Suns could have added a more athletic center behind Nurkic. If the Suns have improved their depth at center, it's not by much.

Nurkic is clearly the better player.

One would assume they are planning on making more moves. But otherwise, I agree that what we have now won't cut it. If Lee or (god, help us) Wainwright are being looked at in any way as playing even a minor role on the bench next year, we are in trouble.

 

[Phrazbit]

Plumlee is better at defending the rim than Eubanks, that is for certain.

Clear focus on improving the defense with all these moves.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns really need to improve at point guard because I do not see a lot of improvement at center.

I view Nurkic and Plumlee as similar players as they lack lateral quickness. Plumlee is another big body.

Gordon is a lot bigger loss than anyone is admiting. We don’t have anyone to floor space like him, and make the occasional roll to the rim.

I disagree. At this stage of Gordon's career, the re is nothing he does that Damion Lee doesn't.

 

[Mainstreet]

This could be the Suns roster next season. It's still tentative.

The Suns need to nail the point guard position with a solid addition.

1. Kevin Durant
2. Bradley Beal
3. Devin Booker
4. Jusuf Nurkic
5. Grayson Allen
6. Royce O'Neale
7. Nassir Little
8. Bol Bol
9. David Roddy
10. Josh Okogie
11. Damion Lee
12. Ryan Dunn
13. Oso Ighodaro
14. Mason Plumlee
15. __________

We reeeeeally need a rotation worthy guard or 2. The lack of depth there is rather frightening.

Damien lee is garbage. I swear nobody on here remembers how much he sucks.

Exactly. The Suns minimally need a rotation point guard and I'm not comfortable at center either.

I can still see opponents driving the ball up the middle on Phoenix.

 

[Proximo]

Bull. Lee is a horrific defender far worse than Gordon who isn’t good.

Gordon also had the ability to create his own shot, lee has none. He has one skill wide open 3 point shooting, he is bad at everything else.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns may not have any choice but I see them needing their rookies to contribute to be a contender.

Also, they need to surprise with a find at point guard even with that scenario.

 

[Chaplin]

Even if all the rookies work out perfectly(they won’t) we still can’t compete in the west.

Well, except for Grayson Allen and probably Damion Lee. Oh, and Booker and Beal. And KD.

So far. I wouldn't rule out a tree later next season. We still have that 2031 pick to trade. Also more second rounders now, too.

Mark Bartelstein Client List

In light of the Plumee signing, maybe this is a good list to peruse?

 

[SirStefan32]

So does Gordon. Lee is an oustanding three-point shooter and not much else. Gordon is a good shooter and nothing else.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Yeah… he’s a non-factor. As inconsistent as Gordon was, he’s still a better player in every aspect than Lee.
