Hoop, I had you on ignore only because you became too personal in your responses.
I now have no one on ignore and look forward to sharing opinions with everyone on ASFN.
Suns lose again

It would be announced that Rose needs knee surgery about 4 seconds after the Suns signed him.

i commend you. now that he dropped "Poop" maybe he'll get that chip off his shoulder as well and act accordingly.
What in God's universe makes you think Tyler is a point guard on any level, let alone NBA starting point guard?
Yep, Trae and Doncic came in and...led their teams to two of the worst records in the NBA...
I'm not crazy about the idea and it wouldn't be my first option, but I doubt this team is going to a) have salary cap room and b) enough goodwill around the organization to bring in much better. Maybe a Beverly on a one year deal type of guy. If they blow their wad on like 20 per for a guy like Rubio I'm going to break my computer in half and throw it out the window... probably to a lot of the board's glee.
There we agree. But they still need a real NBA point guard, not a mediocre shooting guard masquerading as one.

losers, yes. but they did more than the #1 pick did for us this year and i haven't heard complaints about him starting
if Morant could come in here and do for the Suns what Trae and Doncic did for their teams this year it would be our first positive direction in 4 years
and because of his 1st year experience, if Morant could do in his 2nd year what Fox did for his team, i'm a happy camper
Even still, those are two HUGE ifs.
And even in that best case scenario, that still means another unbearable season like this one, which likely means Booker and Ayton, if not others as well, wanting out, and a playoff drought of at least 12 years, which will start approaching an NBA record. (15 years is the all-time record, held by none other than the Clippers from 1976-1991. The Kings are currently at 13 years but look ready to end that drought next year.)

bottom line.
after 4 years of decline to the Suns all-time worst, i'm conceding next year as another rebuild season
and my rebuild would start with firing the coach tomorrow

Then we might as well trade Booker now, before that gets ugly.

that's an option
-- for the #1 pick?
i mean, talk about leading teams to bad records, Booker's the one who rode this horse down for all 4 straight years and if he can't accept that it's on the rider as well as the horse, both parties will be better off parting company

Sure, though I don't think any team is giving up Zion for Booker...

i'd throw in a future pick too
and/or Warren
after all, TJ also rode this horse down
that would make it a full rebuild in the past 2 years

you do realize that we're the "ignored" by a few posters who would irritated by this frank discussion,
and who believe we're the same person anyway
yeah, that's it. i have been replying to myself in an effort to work out mixed emotions

I must say, 1tin, that I don't think any team would bypass Zion for Booker.
Even with a future pick and Warren thrown in.
Zion would be their pick! The wouldn't let him go by for a future pick.
And Warren is similar to Booker. A Wing scorer (who wants to start).
As a Suns fan, I would love to see Zion here, especially as protection for Ayton.
Even if I wouldn't bet the ranch that Igor could make it work.
Anyway, unless we luck out in the draft, it "ain't gonna" happen.

Mike Conley would move the needle more than Tyler Johnson and shouldn't cost much more than salary matching.

Better off silent
To what purpose? To possibly compete for an 8th playoff seed? It's not like Conley will be around when we are relevant.

wouldn't that be good for the young guys... to get that competitve taste in their mouth earlier than later? I mean, if it's Tyler Johnson and a 27-33 win season or Conley and a shot at 40-45 wins, I don't see why we'd want the former. Especially if we were still able to draft Morant and getting Conley wouldn't cost us much in the way of mortgaging the future, sending Johnson, TJ and say a lotto protected first their way or the Milwaukee pick.
Not to mention Conley would actually help make his teammates better, especially as compared to the offensive black hole that is Tyler Johnson.
No chance the NBA doesn’t make sure Zion goes to the Knicks. Big market means big money!
Or worse, the Lakers.

I agree with Cheese once again. Winning a bit and fighting for a playoff spot is, in my opinion, part of their development.
Would love to see Zion, but getting JA Morat wouldn’t be so bad if Zion is a Knick. But more importantly, sure hope we can find a way to sign Obre Jr.. He is a stud. He is looking for a max contract though right?
This would be the ultimate egg in the face!

Conley’s contract expires in 2 years and that’s the best part about it as hopefully Morant or perhaps Okobo/Melton will be ready to take the reigns by then.
