Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

[Raindog]

If the Suns could trade for Deni Avdija, that would be like getting a top 10 draft pick who is only 24.

It might be worth two first round picks.

Don't give them any ideas.

Don't give them any ideas.

I'd probably make that trade. Avdija is on a long term contract.

One thing to note about future Suns' picks is that due to the 2nd apron restrictions, many of the pick swaps they've offered are going to be useless for other teams (and future pick swaps will be nigh worthless).

• A team's first-round pick is moved to the end of the first round if they remain in the second apron for three out of five seasons

I unequivocally guarantee that this will NOT apply to picks that we don't own. Period.

Mat Ishbia did not become successful by a failure to plan.

I'm sure he has a bigger vision of the Suns than we do.

Suns are far from being a contender. I thought that was his plan. I am not so sure Matty knows what he is doing. I could be wrong but the proof is in the pudding

The 3rd season won't be until the end of next season. That's why I think they are motivated to move both Beal and Nurk. Ishbia already expressed he doesn't want our pick to fall.Which is going to make it super interesting should the trade and extend Butler.

Have you been sampling the pudding again?

I keep hoping it's not done.

 

[Proximo]

I'm not sure if this trade is on the table, but if Middleton and Portis were available for Beal, this would be a great get.

It has to be, that is the only contracts that work. But we have already committed to Butler so it isn't happening.

 

[Proximo]

If we can trade Book to Houston for our picks back say we get 5 1st

Maybe send KD somewhere for 3-4 picks

Plus the 3 we just got holy crap now we’re talking serious start to a legit rebuild

We aren't getting 5 1st's for Booker or 4 for KD.

We would be lucky to get 3 for Book and 2 for KD. Everyone knows they are distressed assets, who are not leaders.

The 3 picks we got from Utah are hot garbage, they are barely better than 2nd's.

And the last and by far biggest problem is Ishbia is hell bent on digging the hole deeper and has no interest in a rebuild.

 

[Proximo]

Don't give them any ideas.

That would actually be a good idea if Portland was stupid enough to do it, but I have no idea why they would. Other than Booker or KD we don't have a single asset as good as him.

 

[Proximo]

I am very sure he does not know what he is doing. He has provided tons of evidence.

3 for Booker is a joke. Bridges just fetched 5? Cmon man I know you’re all salty and hate on the suns right now, but you can still be pessimistic and realistic.

Now armed with the ability of trading any first-round picks from 2025-2029, the Suns refocus on attempting to move Jusuf Nurkic.It will cost at least one 1st for any team to be willing to take on Nurkic’s contract.Nurkic and a 1st could net Phoenix another rotation player.

The Phoenix Suns and Portland Trail Blazers have been in discussions for a trade that would send Jusuf Nurkic back to Portland and Deni Avdija + Duop Reath to Phoenix. (Via,

Bradley Beal is open to waiving his no-trade clause to join the Bucks, per
@Gambo987
(https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-burns-gambo-show/id730683847?i=1000684925998…).Milwaukee was a finalist alongside the Suns to get Beal originally in 2023 from the Wizards.

 

[Germz249]

The brass wants to swing for the fences.. I am here to let you know I am standing in the way of that.

My hope is

Beal for Middleton and Portis

Nurk for Avdija and Reath

Keep as many picks as we can


Lets see some madness today!
