That fits with what we're seeing out of DA. Casual play, not much effort.
I actually like the turquoise but don't care for the logo or design. If they somehow made the logo with the PHX with feathers around it as more of a primary logo on the uniforms, I'd like them more.
Hopefully these improve if they keep using them. I like the concept a lot and prefer them to the Los Suns, which was always halfassed. Either go full Spanish or none. Los Soles

Suns are my Kryptonite!
Last night I know Ayton didn't put up numbers. There was one play I saw that I have been waiting for his whole career. They dumped it into him, he took a couple dribbles to get into position, THEN he banged the opposing big back with his shoulder and completed a hook shot for a basket of that big. Classic big man bully ball. If he does MORE of THAT, I am good with his development.

I’d like to find one that actually looks like the jersey in a hoodie. The black one with the turquoise doesn’t do it for me. I want a turquoise one that’s like a book hoodie.

A report is if the Suns traded Jae Crowder to the Heat one of the players they would want in return is small forward Max Strus.
Strus is on a $1,815,677 expiring contract.
I like him a lot as he brings shooting to the Suns.

I don't see how the above trade works unless a third team is involved. The Heat don't have a lot of workable salaries and players they would be willing to trade.

Miami let Crowder walk.
We’re not getting anything for Jae unless he’s part of a bigger deal including more expirings plus picks. I want KD more than anyone but I’m ready to sail that ship because Brooklyn is too stupid to not trade him. As we get closer to the deadline and Washington is out of it I would do a pick for Kuzma even if it’s a rental. For Julius Randle I would need an additional asset back.

Saw this on Reddit today, it's basically what I asked for above. This looks much better than what they're using.

I was looking at trades that would work with Max Strus.
Duncan Robinson and Max Strus would work for Jae Crowder and Landry Shamet or Dario Saric.
Both teams get something they need except the Suns would take on more years of salary for Robinson.

Sarver isn’t taking on a bad contract right now and Miami didn’t want to re-sign Crowder. I don’t see it.
I think they’re waiting for something bigger regarding Ayton. There’s about 25 days between Jan-15th and the trade deadline.

Looking at Duncan Robinson's stats, he hasn't been playing well making the trade even less likely.
Also, Max Strus just scored 31 points tonight. He is an important part of their team, although he is an expiring contract. I'm sure they will try to keep him this summer.
I do think the Heat would trade for Crowder if they had the right contracts.
Ayton could be a separate trade entirely come January 15th.
The Suns have other contracts they could combine with him if they choose. Of course, Ayton could refuse a trade.
Miami wanted to keep Crowder but only had the MLE to resign him and someone else. They tried resigning Jae but the Suns offered an extra year. Kind of ironic that Jae isn't playing for the Suns in that 3rd year that was the reason he chose Phoenix. The narrative that Miami sent him on his way is false. The Suns actually outbid them.
Miami offered a 1 year deal that was reportedly around $14 million. The Suns offered 3 years $29 million, he chose Phoenix.

Sounds like a deal you offer when you know they won’t take it. Miami had his could’ve matched any deal or given him more. It’s nice he’s a good sport about it though.
I’m glad the Suns are smart enough to want Strus but it doesn’t make sense for Miami without them receiving additional assets.

Umm, almost every single poster here! As for a for Jalen Smith trade, can't happen during this season. We can't trade him to anyone this season without DA's approval and we can't trade him at all during this season to the team that made the offer that we matched (which is Indiana).

DA has right off first refusal on trades all year? That blows.
Yep. He isn’t going anywhere unless he wants to. Crowder is going to likely be our best chip to improve this season.
