Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

[Raindog]

And we will go into next season with same questions about a bad team. Right back to same trade deadline do we or do we not. If this team is even remotely playing like they are now next year, blow it all up starting with Jones on down. Team colonoscopy

Indeed. The only good thing to come out of this abomination is that James Jones gets fired.

Then he can take his smug "don't question how smart I am" routine to Atlanta or Washington or something.

Off season moves: Bottom line we are stuck until the Beal contract expires. Expect a KD extension for two more seasons. Might as well match the remaining Beal contract. Probably going to waste a pick or two on moving Nurkic. I'd rather keep the picks and trade his expiring contract later, even if we are just dumping him. Tyus probably moves to a new team. Hopefully we used both of the 2025 picks in the NBA draft similar to what we did getting Dunn and Oso. Probably use them to move Nurkic though. I am not expecting anything earth shattering to happen.

I think we need to move KD. Book and Beal are still somewhat young. The offense is tons better. Move KD for length, youth with some high ceilings that can work their way into the lineup. We are small, slow and unathletic. Last nights loss to OKC showed some flashes.

As bad as things have been, 8 through 11 are almost tied, the wolves are right there as well at the 7th spot. We need a jolt, just like the warriors will get with Jimmy.

It's probably best to wait until the off-season at this point to blow this up. Right now, every team in the top half of the playoff standings thinks they have a chance to win a championship as constructed. All but one of those teams will come up short and the rest will be looking to make moves to get to the top of the mountain.

I know you said as presently constructed but I think you can use this same point to justify blowing it up right now, given that there are multiple teams that think they are in reach of a title. And with injury prone and aging players, the sooner we move them the better. Having said all that, I still wouldn't make a bad deal just to make a deal.

I think the problem is that you can't blow it up- you have no picks, and you have the worst contract in the league that you can't trade. Hell, you can't even retool. Can't rebuild because you have no picks, and you can't retool because you have awful contracts.
