Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

[Raindog]

Spencer Dinwiddie is waived. Too bad the CBA makes signing him impossible because of his larger salary.

Indeed... that is unfortunate because he's probably the one buyout guy we could have actually used.

I understand Lowry might be bought out as well, but the same problem.

 

[Covert Rain]

I would love to see them go after Killian Hayes. Maybe Lopez or Biz from a size perspective? It would give us another guard and some size.

P.S. Lopez back here made me vomit a little but hey beggars and all.

Yeah, he would have been an awesome addition.

I would love to see them go after Killian Hayes.

I wouldn't. He is a borderline NBA player.

 

[Covert Rain]

I wouldn't. He is a borderline NBA player.

We are not looking for a starter but a guy who can handle the ball, drive and kick. He is a good passer.

 

[Raindog]

Honestly, I am not too impressed with the "revamped" roster. O'Neale is "maybe/sort of" a minor bench upgrade. Roddy really doesn't bring anything above the four guys we dumped, and downgrades our overall size significantly. I also have a hard time imagining we are going to get any value from the buyout market that we actually have access to.

And I know some might say the guys we are shipping out weren't getting it done either, but I also have to wonder how much of that had to do with being misused by a lousy coaching staff who doesn't have a clue how to fit pieces together.

I feel overall like we really are stuck between a rock and a hard place. We have a "big three" but a deeply flawed one with very little margin for error to make that pay off. And a rather poor coach and GM/front office to try and navigate that small margin for error.

 

[Mainstreet]

PJ Tucker will not request a buyout per report.

Suns have pulled out the stops. It could be John Wall.

I like that the Suns now have two roster spots open to fill specific needs like backup depth at center and point guard.

It's more than just the two players they added which address a need at power forward.

Pickings are pretty slim there.

As mentioned in the other thread, I wouldn't touch Hayes with a 10,000 foot pole. He's awful, far far worse than anyone on our roster, he's "Elfrid Payton in the hair blocking shot era" terrible.

Only name there that interests me is Lowry but I think his pre-buyout salary will have been too high for us be allowed to sign him.

 

[95pro]

What think did Kai Jones do, i forget why he made headlines a few months back.

 

[Phrazbit]

What think did Kai Jones do, i forget why he made headlines a few months back.

Was calling himself the "GOAT" and dragging his team and franchise through the mud repeatedly on social media. He supposedly was generally toxic and not worth the headache.

 

[Covert Rain]

I like Kyle Lowry too.

 

[Proximo]

I like Kyle Lowry too.

Suns can't sign him. I think Dinwiddie is better at this point in time.

 

[Phrazbit]

Can't sign Dinwiddle either, he also made too much pre buyout.

 

[Covert Rain]

Makes too much. I didn't look up Lowry but yeah we can't sign him either.

Crap. Now I have to look up all the stats.

 

[Raindog]

Nobody to get very excited about there. Hayes and Gallinari are (statistically) probably the best players on that list. Maybe Thad Young if he gets cut loose.

Honestly rather take a chance on Wall if he’d sign for a minimum deal…
