The Phoenix Suns May Need A Point Guard But Won’t Get One

could you trade for this point guard without having to include one of the big three as we know Bradley Beal has the no trade clause he’s got the massive contract that not a lot of teams would want so you’re either having to give up Devin Booker or Kevin Durant are you willing to do that McCoy MCO all right let’s dive into the meat and potatoes of today’s show we’re going to be talking about point guards ain’t that right James Jones point guards oh I think the team could benefit from having a point guard um I believe the team could benefit from having backup forwards backup centers um you know I still always go back to your best players on the floor um that’s a narrative will hear a lot a point guard point guard point guard point guard point guard point guard and I’m saying sure that’s that’s great who who do you want like who do you want like who’s available given the way we’re built who can fit with this group whose game seamlessly fits with this group and when you put that player on the floor and you take the ball out of someone’s hands whose hands are you taking it out of and who are you putting in that position and so it’s it’s it’s more than just a position um like a point guard or small forward it’s the actual player that you can get or you do have and so if we had the point guard that would be the best fit for this group we’d find them um if available so I I don’t think there’s anything wrong I don’t run away from saying we could benefit from having a point guard I I just don’t think that was the the answer to a lot of our problems all right well let’s talk about some of them Gerald you wrote a hefty article over at go phx.com because we have had this conversation do they do they not need a point guard I think we’re all at at least in agreement um that they do need a backup point guard but when it comes to a starting point guard still we are in agreement that they don’t need one necessarily um but the rest of the group M meaning all suns fans there are some that still think the Suns need a starting caliber point guard so we went through and by we I mean you looked at all quote unquote traditional point guards or point guards who are closer to a traditional point guard anyway within the league at this point um and we went through and figured out could they work for the Suns and is it realistic and what would it take to get them yeah you have some disclaimers I do so for the people that haven’t seen the article yet or are not going to read it at all um I kind of categorized it I went through every point guard who’s currently under contract so this does not include uh upcoming free agents for the most part mentioned a couple near the end there but this was to look at okay trade-wise can the Suns acquire a starting caliber point guard like and this point guard that they bring in has to check a lot of boxes like they have to fit with the big three in terms of not being too undersized because whoever this point guard is would be taking 6’4 Grayson Allen’s place in the start starting lineup um they have to be more of a traditional pass first point guard because if you have a scoring point guard you already have three High Caliber scorers you I’m assuming if we’re having this discussion that belongs in the early 2000s about getting a point guard at someone to facilitate to set the table so they need to be like a more traditional uh true point guard they need to be starting caliber because we’re not just going to get a point guard to put a worse player than Grayson in the starting lineup just because he can handle the ball and he’s some six foot two guard um and also like looking at salaries could you trade for this point guard without having to include one of the big three as we know Bradley Beal has the no trade clause he’s got the massive contract that not a lot of teams would want so you’re either having to give up Devin Booker or Kevin Durant are you willing to do that for any of these guys that we’re going to talk about um and can you actually trade for them if you go with nerk and a pick or Naser little and a pick because remember they have all these restrictions as a second tax apron team so those are the biggest disclaimers that I wanted to get through we will talk about free agents coming up next week start to look at okay who can the Suns add at different positions with only vet minimums at their disposal but for now I wanted to keep it to guys that are currently under contract because more than likely the only Avenues you have to improve are trades or vet minimum so we’re going to wipe out more than half the board of all those point guards that are under contract right now you got names you want Gerald’s here to tell you n you don’t unfortunately yeah yeah pretty much it is

On the latest PHNX Suns show, the crew discusses why the Phoenix Suns probably won’t be able to trade for a starting-caliber point guard this summer.
