Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

It's the gift that keeps on giving. I guess this means Nurkic is available for the Hornets.

I was hoping the Suns would get some draft compensation back.

Sounds like this was not possible; trade had to be accepted as-is or rejected, can't modify past the trade deadline.

The only sort of tweaks that can be done are waiving aspects, like player physicals, or reducing compensation if there is cash or picks are involved. Cash cannot be increased and picks can't be added but they can be reduced or protection removed. Since those things are already in the trade that was approved it's not much of an issue to lessen them because they aren't the primary pieces that make it legal like salary matching.

We blew our chance to trade KD at peak value. I’m over it. Just get what you can in the offseason and get a 26’ pick. Trade Grayson before the draft.

Right now we’re picking 29 and 55.

I would like to know what was going on behind the scene based on the tweets I have read.

This team is truly idiotic to engage in a bunch of KD trade talk and then not pull the trigger.

Kevin Durant is addressing all things with him, saying "the organization got to do what it got to do" in talking about Phoenix Suns and trade talks.When asked about being through this, he said, "I haven't been through this."

When is our last game before the break and the first game after it? I will get withdrawel symptoms without a steady dose of Suns basketball. Not looking forward to it.

We play tomorrow vs the Grizzlies in Phoenix and Wednesday vs Rockets in Houston. No games until next Thursday in San Antonio.

Oof, that's a rough back to back.

Mike Budenholzer on Bradley Beal (left great toe soreness): “He did not practice today. I think it’s going to take him a little bit more time.”Beal has missed Phoenix's last two games.

Maybe if the team wasn’t losing games all the time you wouldn’t be in trade talks

I don't think is value changes (barring an injury) by end of season. By the sounds of it, a bunch of teams called. I think they move him after the season and likely get more for him than teams looking for a desperate mid-season discount trade.

Grayson's conditioning has gone to hell. He hits a huge 3 to help beat Utah and missed the next game, which was a back to back and would be reasonable if we weren't short handed already. He's had 3 full days off and he's hopeful for Tuesday?

Whoever said we need to shop him during the draft is right. The Suns should have been able to find a good trade involving him prior to the deadline. Almost every team is in the market for veteran shooters who can play 20-30 minutes but Grayson's health this season combined with our lazy GM and it's not that surprising a deal couldn't be found. He has value but he's our 5th wing on the depth chart and makes too much to keep around when there are other holes on the roster.

We did.

 

[Mainstreet]

We did.

I was hoping for more than one 2nd round pick.
