Suns Off Season Changes for 2025: Trades, Buyouts, GM, Coaches, etc.

Ask yourself who would leak the Myers rumor? Not the Suns. Anyone we hire that isn't Meyers would be a real let down to fans. So logically it would be the Meyers camp leaking. Why would Meyers let his camp leak this if he had zero interest? Suns would tell Gambo no interest if they really did tell Gambo that, because they would look real bad if Meyers turns them down. People would interpret that as we are too messed up to be fixed, if Meyers passed. You don't want fans thinking that.

So far Meyers himself hasn't said he isn't interested.

You might be overthinking this. People make things up. This could have come from anywhere, I don't think logic is going to reveal what really happened.

Yes hard for Booker to lead when he's shooting at a 43 percent clip. 32 percent from three and can't handle a double team. 220 turnovers this year I believe

Why post wrong stats? 46% from the field and 33% from 3. Not a huge jump but accurate. As to turnovers, when are people going to present those in a proper context? Totals mean little. Antman had 249 turnovers so I guess he's not a leader. He also shot 44% from the field. So? Cherry picked stats don't tell the whole story. Booker also averaged a career high in assists, 7.1 per game, and that was next to a real PG. Good enough for 11th in the entire league.

Is Booker a great leader? No. He was a good enough co-leader when he had a veteran who was teaching him and unselfish teammates to get the Suns to the finals. That wasn't all Chris Paul, as some have started saying. Paul was injured throughout that post season and also missed the start of the Western Conference Finals. There are plenty of examples where 2 players share leadership responsibility. This isn't new.

IDK, too many people reporting on this. The make stuff up, is usually some lone guy. There's smoke. Someone has told Meyers by now. It's the age of social media. He could just say something like, he enjoys spending time with family, etc.

Meyers has said he's not interested. He doesn't need to say more. It takes one person to create a narrative and others run with it. See Flex for an example of that in the NBA world.

Last quote I can find from him is from May 2023. Also, people covering this have said Meyers is interested in getting back into the NBA. Atlanta is said to be pursuing him, too. Maybe it's wishful thinking by two clubs. I can see Ishbia being VERY aggressive to get what he wants. Not saying Myers would say yes. It's in Ishbia's nature to go for the best option.

Deals over the years suggest the JJ isn't a good GM. The big deals for KD, Beal, with Ayton weren't on him. But the smaller parts like Crowder, no Hachimura, Camara, bad signings with Metu etc., bad coaching signings, etc. all showed that JJ isn't a good talent and roster evaluator.
