The Milwaukee Bucks and the Portland Trailblazers just pulled off one of the biggest trades in recent NBA history, sending future hall of fame point guard Damian Lillard to the Bucks to team up with Giannis Antetokounmpo. The forgotten team in this trade is the Phoenix Suns, who dealt former 1st pick in the draft Deandre Ayton and were a vital piece to this trade getting facilitated. In todays episode of MTS Mike Talks Sports, I break down and analyze a player the Suns received in this trade, Grayson Allen, in order to determine: what will Grayson Allen’s new role be with the Phoenix Suns? How will Grayson Allen fit in with the Suns, what will his impact be, and how will Allen look alongside Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal? Grayson Allen came into the NBA out of Duke as a first round pick, and after being a solid contributor on the Jazz and Grizzlies, he found a significant role with the Milwaukee Bucks. In the last two seasons with the Bucks, Grayson Allen has started the vast majority of games, while being a high level and high effort defender, along with being an elite 3 point shooter. Thanks for watching todays video, let me know in the comment section below, what’re your thoughts on Grayson Allen and his fit with the Suns? Do you agree with my breakdown on Grayson, and do you agree that the Suns in the 2023 NBA playoffs had a major depth issue?

I'm telling you, Grayson is a great teammate, a solid shooter, has some bounce, and has started playing defense. He's good. His rep is foul for no real reason. Grayson is for real.
Not too sure about his defense. But yeah great 3 point shooter. I think since we have Gordon already, might as well start Grayson Allen. He will get a ton of wide open 3’s in the starting lineup.
Suns have no weaknesses anymore
I've always liked Grayson Allen. I think he should start for the Suns, or should at least be one of those guys that rotationally starts dependent upon his fit against the team they are playing at that moment.
As Knicks fan, only kd haters aRe saying this team is trash! i mean do you are telling me my knicks or the lakers have better Roster thn the suns RIGHT NOW? HELLLL NO! they have all the pieces and dont forget they still can move jusuf after all star.
Nothing
Grayson is a dirty player he just can't help himself.
I am glad we got Grayson Allen, for we need a gritty player who can be the "bad guy" so it won't have to be Booker. But I do not think he will be the sixth man. I see that role going to Eric Gordon. But I could see him being the next guard in the rotation after Eric (I saw this previously with Goodwin, but Allen is an upgrade). The difficulty for this Suns team is being able to work some minutes in for this now very deep bench. I wouldn't want to be in Vogel's shoes in figuring out the rotations.
Toxicity
Grayson is the type of player you hate until he’s on your team.
Elite role player? 😂😂😂Have u watched the playoffs the last 2 years?
Whenever you have a bench that could be a starting 5. That's trouble for opposing teams
I think, him, yuta, or Diop should start, but I’ll give it to Grayson, he’s 3 and D
Suns were better before the trade. Should have kept Ayton, cut Wainwright and sign Kelley Oubre. Now we got worse while making the Bucks better for no reason.
drama?
Go BUCKS Go!!! The MILWAUKEE BUCKS.
maybe he learns how to take a shot before the clock expires.

If he's as good as you say on defense and shoots 40% from 3 he should be the 5th starter over Okogie as he can lt shoot for 💩
Allen is a nice addition to the Suns team but he is not going to be in the starting five. He will probably come off the bench with the second unit. Starting Five for the Suns might be…Booker, Beale, KD, Bates-Diop, Nurkic. Second unit….Gordon, Okogie/Allen, Watanabe, Metu, Eubanks/Bol Bol….Suns have a deep bench this year.
Great video, you said everything needed to be said , especially to ungrateful suns fans
THE SUNS HAVE BLEACHED THEIR TEAM
They also got Nasir Little that gives them needed defense and athletimsim. It will be interesting to see what the final rotation is. If KD can stay healthy the Suns have a legit chance to go to the Finals!
Tripping …A lot of tripping ….He would be on the tripping all star team ….He has a book out called Tripping for Dummies ….No better tripper on the planet ,,,,,,,,,,
NICE TAKE BROTHER, SUNS ARE DEEP NOW IN EVERY POSITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!……………LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2:03 is that not a travel? 🧐
