Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

Watching the game tonight. He's burned the Lakers on both the lob and the passes when he was left open. Just saying.

I’m glad to hear it. I hope it continues to play out that way. The suns are professionals that scouted these players. I trust them more than what I’ve merely read. I mean, I haven’t had an opportunity to watch these guys play yet. So I’m cautiously optimistic. But then again, 31 other teams scouted them too and didn’t think they were worth more draft capital, so I take that into account too.

I'm amazed how well Lebron plays at his age and how hard he plays all the time.

I’ve never been a fan of his but I will say he has earned my respect finally

Definitely no denying that Lebron James is still very good at playing basketball. The fact that no other team has someone his age playing at that high of a level, and the fact that he has "Lakers" on his jersey, makes him unlikable.

Great player and for the most part a really good ambassador for the NBA, however much we hate it.

He's not going to be outside. His passing and setting screens are what he will be doing. He'll be rolling off the screens. He's a lob threat, plus he can dribble to set up the pass. He won't be stuck jacking up outside shots.

He shouldn't be operating from the 3 pt line, his main area of effectiveness is anywhere at the elbow, ft line and max at the top of the key. Was pretty impressed with his passes, he was drafted so low but he's the type of guy that will play better with better players. Seeing his true effective is college was hindered by playing with lesser talent.

Lebron has gained my respect as well, especially as he has aged. There is no denying he one hungry player that doesn't sit on his laurels. He plays so hard and physical when he is on the court. His three point shot looks like money.

LeBron James is "taking his talents" into his 40s.

I was listening to Mike Vigil who was discussing "overreactions" to the Suns first preseason game against the Lakers.

The idea of immediately signing Collin Gillespie to a four contract wasn't half bad with the open roster spot.

With Tyus Jones and Monte Morris on one year contracts, it would be good to wrap him up.

Here is a preseason review of Collin Gillespie by Gerald Bourguet in a free article.

And then the Frank Kaminsky dream would be over.

And I thought you were more in favor of a bigger body in that 15th spot?

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm always for the BPA and Collin Gillespie looks the part. I'd like to wrap him up on a long term contract. This move would not only be for now but the future. It's not the first time I have watched him play.

Quality point guards are hard to find and both Tyus Jones and Monte Morris are on one year contracts. I'm sure Dallas realizes the importance of the position with the loss of Exum.

It would still be possible for the Suns to make a trade or waive a player and sign Frank or someone else.

If a team waits for a player to prove himself, good deals usually fly out the window.

I suspect the Suns will let this play out for a while with other players vying for the final roster spot.
