Looking at the BIG names the Suns could try to trade for this deadline
That’s an extreme offense for defense move yeah and I don’t know if we go There so let’s just dive right into the big fish if we’re already talking about throwing nerk or Grayson into this let’s talk about the big fish here okay we got Zack LaVine about 40 million demard de rozan 29 DeAndre Hunter 20 and Deonte Murray 18 so Zack Demar and Deonte feel
Just repetitive to me because you have Bradley Beal and Deon Booker like correct you don’t really need any of those guys maybe you can make an argument for deante because you need to you would maybe you want you actually do want a point guard but I just don’t see
The Suns doing that I’m all in on DeAndre Hunter like that’s the guy that I would love to get on this squad I love him you know listen his defense is Premier Virginia guy like fantastic he’s averaging 14.9 points per game 4.1 rebounds and 1 point4 assist yeah I I
Always loved him he plays hard he I I think that that kid’s uh he hasn’t reached his potential yet I think he’s he’s about to break out I look at a guy like Hunter and again don’t we’re not talking exact numbers I’m just saying in
The in this ilk I look at DeAndre hunter in the same ilk I would look at Mel Bridges and ogan noi that cut from that claw uh could do a lot of things on the basketball court maybe doesn’t always show up in a box score but he’s a guy
Would be ultra intrigued but again it’s going to cost a lot you’re going to have to give up Grayson and ner you talk to me go ahead am I am I wrong on this real quick before you start sure uh I don’t see anybody really trading for Zack
LaVine at $40 million a year I don’t feel like the return is worth the investment for what you would have to give up or what the Bulls would like I just don’t see it I think that’s a lost cause for Chicago I feel like yeah I feel like the pendulum keeps swinging on
LaVine because I think it’s swung so far back that like he’s a legitimately good player the 40 million part is hard for a team that feels like they’re one piece away like how do you trade for a piece like that without giving up something significant in return to match that
Salary that’s that’s really hard I I don’t yeah I don’t Zack lavine’s a tough one and and a lot of bulls fans or some Bulls fans don’t want to trade him now because they feel like they’re not going to get a lot in return for him at this
Point um my my thing with I like DeAndre Hunter I I do getting to his 20 ion dollar salary is difficult because NS and Grayson doesn’t get you there and to be honest I don’t think I would trade Grayson in a deal for DeAndre Hunter I understand that Hunter fits the need but
You would probably have to be looking at for salary purposes nerk and NS and then you don’t have a starting center and you know you could try you could ask for Clint capella but he makes 21 million so you’re not going to be able to send
Enough out to justify that tra I don’t I don’t know how you make a deal it’s hard to get there it’s hard those are the big swing for the fences and those are the ones that I think require three of the guys you mentioned in order to get to
That space you’d have to give up nerk Grayson nasier some picks some second round picks probably and you probably have to throw in one of the other guys as well like because there is let’s say hypothetic let’s let’s talk home run and I don’t even know if I make this deal
The Home Run swing in that deal is you give me DeAndre Hunter and capella you could get there you can get there by doing nerk Grayson nasier uh kbd and some pcks I don’t know if that deal makes us better to that I I just don’t know you you get better defense from
Capella over nerk but offensively you lose a lot and then you get better defense again from DeAndre Hunter potentially it’s not much because Grayson does a decent job on defense but I think you lose a lot of offense so did that’s a that’s an extreme offense for
Defense move yeah and I don’t know if we go there all right the last name I’ll throw out to you um this one was brought up recently Royce O’Neal as a potential Target for the Suns about n and a half million dollars for him love them that
Feels more realistic to me I think in terms of being attainable I again I don’t know how much he moves the needle a lot of jazz and Nets fans have talked about he’s a good three-point shooter but he can be very streaky and we’ve seen our fair share of that here in the
Valley with our wings but he is an experienced Defender um so I I wouldn’t be opposed to that yeah I I love him I think that’s that’s a guy would be okay with um and I think that’s realistic I think that’s probably what it’s going to come down to

Oh we GOT big names.
We need some unknown, cheap as hell defensive juggernaut, 3pt specialist that hates Luka has a chip on his shoulder and is not afraid to go to prison.
DFS vs Royce? havent watched much nets, how about dfs? also, i like sexton, brogdan or dinwiddie? Pat bev has been talking good about the suns, seems like he hated cp3 which i understand lol DSJ also is good on defense from the nets, wouldn't mind him
Alex caruso????
I think the Suns should just stick with what they got
bruce brown
4 players should be untouchable big 3 and Allen that’s it
TJ McConnell and Obi Toppin
Grayson fits well with this team, he brings energy,defense and outside shooting. Would like to see more of what nasir little can do athletically and defensively. I'd give it a couple more games and if we go back to our old ways then yeah, time to make a move. Wether james jones likes it or not he needs a playmaking pointguard if nothing else but to get the 2nd unit going. Small ball worked the other night but let's be realistic. Size and defense make the difference in the playoffs when the game slows down . Not sure there are any bigs we could negotiate for but would love to see alan williams come back. We need the energy and rebounding inside. Would actually like to see us get a g- league team like ishbia said he was going to do in the past so we can have something to watch when the suns season is over. Maybe the most cost efficient and smart move would be to continue to work on team chemistry and for the first time in years focus on scouting and finding our help in the 2024 draft. Zac edy would give us a different look at center and would help add much needed size, defense and toughness. Tyler kolek would be a good backup for the second unit and plays like stockton and nash used to play. Ryan dunn of virginia has been compared to shawn marion for his athleticism and defense. Adem bona of ucla is a big, strong, athletic defender in the mold of a young serge ibaka. Grant nelson of alabama kind of reminds me of tom chambers with his athleticism and scoring at 6-11 235. All of these guys are worth checking out . Filling our needs on a rookie contract would still be cheaper than most of our other options( we won't be picking in the lottery anyway) and gives us youth for the future, our team is pretty old. That player drafted can be chosen not only to fill a need but can be taught the system vogel wants to implement. Other options may also be hit or miss with shelling out more money and potentially giving up way more than we'd get back. We'd also have to give the team more time to develop chemistry with that player or players coming in. Ultimately we are handcuffed to this roster and really have very lityle choice but to wait.
