    Bonus points if you can see when I noticed that I spelled "Suns" wrong in the graphic 🤦‍♂What do you think of the McConnell report and the rule changes?

    It doesn't make sense to trade assets unless its using them to acquire an upgrade or future draft capital. Unless you want to make your roster worse, you keep him for injury unless you live Wongs immediate upside. If you bring in another player, you still have the problem of getting them minutes. So what's the point?

  6. Joe Mapes

    Its cringe watching on tv seeing a ref up close to camera explaining a challenge call. Is it as bad in person up close?

  8. The Resident Teacher

    If we were gonna Move any players it makes sense to move Duarte and McConnell….BUT YOU DON'T LET TJ GO FOR NOTHING. He's got trade value. Especially in a little package deal.

  9. Rg Webb

    I hope Sheppard pans out. He has a nice looking shot. Being older than most prospects, he should be standing out. That he isn't, is concerning.

  11. Rg Webb

    They could trade McConnell for Ayton. They'd have to throw in Turner to make the salaries work.

  12. Warlock Magic

    I took a gamble traded Nesmith, Theis, TJ McConnell, Isaiah Jackson.
    SAN- Devin Vassel, Devonte Graham(last contract year), Doug McDermott(for money, last year) 24 CHA 1st(SAN) Nwora to ATL for 26 GSW 2nd, 27 LAC 2nd.. Sign D. Jones Jr. 5 mil and Willy Hernangomez for 2.5 mil
    You might say they wouldn't trade Vassel. Could be true, he's a great shooter and defender. Yet he had a down season last year. Only because he had microscopic surgery on his knee. It took his solid D rating and ability to pick off passing lanes. He is usually always around 108 at least D Rating. Yet was at 120 in limited games last year. Could he be completely fine once he comes back? A lot of guy's have this done nowadays. He goes back to form and he's about 45% inside and around 40%+ 3 can shoot the ball in so many ways. Maybe they look less on him now since injury and maybe we could also use it as a reason to snag a CHA 1st, they have 3 24s, their own and also TOR. They get two bigs to put around Wembanyama. Nesmith would be the perfect Vassel replacement as he's young too, healthy and improving. Yet he's not as gifted as Vassel Defense or O.. but that knee the reason they might idk. I looked at many SFs. He posted the best rating all around and for his age. We could get a 1st instead of giving up Nembhard or our own 1sts for OG. Who isn't as good as Vassel healthy.

  14. Carmen S

    I know he's "down the bench" etc., But for a team IN DIRE NEED of defense, no body on this roster, NOBODY is the defensive dog McConnell is. Not ONE.

  15. Warlock Magic

    Instead of gifting Suns a great PG. We should move McConnell & other's to a team like SAN who need rotational pieces. For a young good player and a 1st/picks return. Instead of moving a bunch of our guy's and losing our picks for an OG. I want to keep picks and get another solid young + guy. Then sign D Jones and W. Hernangomez + guy.. Graham 3rd option come in for few mins. Doug and him both expire after this year open the cap for signing great player next year. Doubt Minnesota would move Jaden McDaniels.. but thing's like that. I like Vassel Defensive and Offensive can play multiple positions and transition guy.
