What is the plan?

[Yuma]

Oh forgot to mention Gambo says we are going to trade Melton.

Really? Any reason why? and for what? I know he's about the only tradable asset we have left at this point!

 

[Raindog]

Sarver is the GM. That's why he hired Jones instead of a big name. I would bet my house that all the decisions are being made by committee.

I 100% concur. This all smells of the same bull droppings we have suffered through during every different front office that has worked under that schmuck.

 

[devilalum]

Melton has already surpassed Joseph.

Mark my words. This team will go 8-74 next season, and Booker will demand a trade in the process.

Maybe but Book has 90 years remaining on his new contract.

For cap space. Gambo really is the grim reaper.

Doesn't matter. He doesn't want to put up with this crap anymore, and he shouldn't have to.

To sign a player worse than him. Ugh...

 

[devilalum]

Gotta clear that money for Joseph.

 

[Yuma]

OK. So cap space tells me to get someone or a level of someones they know we are short on money. If we are not going to play Melton, then why keep him? I am sad in that I think he's a better person on the bench than Okobo right now. If I know that, probably other teams don't want Okobo either.

I think it is the contract - Okobo is locked up cheap longer.

 

[1Sun]

At this point, why would anyone pay to go watch this trash heap?

 

[Yuma]

I think it is the contract - Okobo is locked up cheap longer.

I liked Melton's defense. Okobo has a better jumper. It seems like we are stocking up on guys with jump shots. I am just thinking, James Jones was known for his three point shot. Just wondering if that's how he knows basketball, so he's picking guys with the same traits? Seems like we picked tall guys with good long range jumpers. Sounds just like James Jones.

 

[1Sun]

Gambo says we are going to give Joseph 7-9 million.

WHY? WHY? WHY? THIS IS COMPLETE INSANITY. HE IS NO BETTER THAN CANNAN!!!

Better defensively (barely), worse offensively.

 

[1Sun]

Frank Cominsky, Mike Scott, Al-Fariq Aminu - Gambo says these are PF's we may target in free agency.

It will be Kaminsky. Another sliw, unathletic, soft player who can shoot in practice but who is too slow and unathletic to get his shot off in games.

This team is not only going to be historically bad. It is also going to be historically boring and painful to watch.

 

[Yuma]

Patrick Beverly I agree with Gambo. I see his name linked to other playoff teams. No way he comes to AZ. We are not in the running for him. We already know Collison doesn't want to be here. So guys like Joseph are the pool of guys we are in right now. I hope Ty Joseph is a diamond in the rough!

 

[1Sun]

Good grief Gambo is now saying Corey Joseph is our top target at PG in free agency.

I don't even know what to say - I guess it is time to fire James Jones.

Says we are looking into Wayne Ellington and Rodney Mcgruder also. WHY? We have no playing time for more wings

Good god, maybe they are going to let Oubre walk.

IT IS OFFICIALLY TIME TO PANIC

I have been saying since the Johnson pick that the plan is to let Oubre walk. This will be a G League team, if even that, masquerading as an NBA team.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

We gotta attach a pick to do that too?

Cory Joseph is a worse shooter than Melton and Canaan. Let that sink in.

No, just Booker and Ayton...

Who knows at this point - The 3 stooges seem to be in charge.

Can we really stop reporting anything he says at this point as fact. He hasn't said anything accurate with this front office yet.

He got all of our picks wrong and reported that we weren't going to trade warren, jj, or the 6th pick (it was all refuted by a national reporter less than a day later)

 

[Mainstreet]

Zach Lowe reportedly says the Suns have interest in D'Angelo Russell. I don't know what to believe any more.

It's funny as I feel like it was the general consensus that Gambo was full of crap just a few days ago, but now they are all making it out to be gospel and it's kind of weird. Free agency is over a week away and thus I fail to see how Gambo knows a damn thing about who the Suns will target at this point. Let alone who we will actually sign.

 

[Proximo]

Cory Joseph is a worse shooter than Melton and Canaan. Let that sink in.

Joseph 41% FG 32% from 3 11per -0.6 BPM 105 ORTG 107 DRTG
Melton 39% FG 31% from 3 9.9per -2.6 BPM 93 ORTG 112 DRTG
Cannan 39% FG 35% from 3 8 per -3.0 BPM 103 ORTG 112 DRTG

OK so Joseph is SLIGHTLY better than those 2 - SLIGHTLY

ALL 3 SUCK. NONE REMOTELY DESERVE 9 million a year.

Edit: Here is Tyler Johnson for comparison

42% FG 35% from 3 12.4 per 0.1 BPM 109 ORTG 108 DRTG

He is the best - and last year was a bad shooting year for him.

Gambo just said again he is full of it - he wants to stop talking about it - but it keeps coming up

Maybe Booker/DLO is pushing the media to say this stuff, to get the fans excited to try and force the Suns hand.
