Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

Beal cannot end up in Miami, the third team will.

Do the names Camara or Dunn ring a bell?

what has Camara done in a Suns uniform? I wouldn’t crown Dunn just yet.

The front office moves have been so horrible to where I don’t think they could do much with the pick.

I don't see James Jones becoming one of the longest tenured GM's in the league over the last 2 decades. He would get there if he was GM in 2031 to make that pick. Only a title gets him there, which isn't likely.

He got the job in 2018, for the record. I have a feeling anything short of a finals appearance this year will end his time here.

I sense you are preparing Suns fans for trading the 2031 pick.

It's okay, we can handle it. Get back to the Waffle House and do what you have to do.

We are going to have the best owner in the NBA, best scouts and best G-League team around.

And that's after we win a championship this season.

Okay, that's the best pep talk I have.

He didn't get a chance. He got traded before the season began but haunts us every time we play the Blazers. He was an excellent draft pick which was my point as you are ready to forgo the draft.

He didn't say that. He said there is genuine interest from Bulter wanting to come here to play. To my knowledge he has never reported that the Heat are trying to make the trade happen. Did I miss something?

Butler wants Phoenix because he can sucker Ishbia into a payday. The Heat are going to save us from ourselves.

Don't shoot the messenger as I know opinions are varied about this guy. I hope he knows what he's talking about in this case. Anything is better than our current path.

Beal is not close to the worst contract.

Kawhi and Embid considering their health are much worse contracts. Kawai will likely never play again.

You're opinion of Beal is far too low. He is still quite efficient and given a bigger role he can be a number 1 scorer. Yeah he is injury prone - but so is Butler.

Those guys are MVP level when they’re healthy, Beal is hurt just as much as they are and I would say at this point he’s merely an above average starter when he’s 100% healthy and he’s almost never 100% healthy. He’s the 5th highest paid player in the league, 3 years on his deal and he has a no trade clause. It’s a nightmare contract.

I think he’s easily the worst contract in the NBA right now, with Grant, LaVine and Poole coming in after him.

Am I the only one who doesn’t care about our 2031 pick. I mean since we drafted Booker.. outside of Mikal.. what has our first pick really done for us? I just feel like with crappy GM who can’t draft for crap, the pick is not much value to us.

When we’re 8-43 going into the 2031 all star break you’re going to want that pick.

If the Suns can keep their 2031 first round pick, it's something to consider. The trade would have to be somehow sweetened by the Suns.
