NBA Analyst Tim Legler Weighs In on Phoenix Suns Offseason

Phoenix Suns super underwhelming year last year but they make some moves Monte Morris point guard Mason plumbley a center Ryan Dunn who they picked up in the draft a couple other pieces they lose Eric Gordon and Drew Eubanks which is you know meaningful but not enormous losses so they were underwhelming last year and then there’s the turmoil about Kevin Durant is teams are interested is he available and all this different stuff so with the moves that they have made so far what do you make of Phoenix are they meaningfully better there’s also another big one there that we left out which is Mike buher um that’s right the coach as well yeah that’s kind of a big one too and I think look I think that was part of the problem I like Frank vogle I think Frank vogle is really smart I don’t think Frank vogle really ever garnered the respect of of the players he had to I just don’t I didn’t feel that way when I watched them uh Mike buer has got a little bit different personality type one he’s won a championship in this league Frank vogle had two um Mike buer is a championship coach and he and he he was also an excellent coach in Atlanta too team that won 60 games in Atlanta four guys make the All-Star team in one year Mike buer can really Coach and he’s got a little bit more fire in the belly man he he’s I I think they’re gonna respect him I think they’re gonna look forward to playing for him he’s a really good offensive coach I think he’s gonna maybe be able to utilize their roster a little bit better I don’t love the fact that you know that I don’t know they’re going into the year again once again without a point guard uh that can help these guys kind of facilitate and set the table I like some of those additions though Ryan Dunn is is a guy that man they’re going to like him a lot there if he gets playing time like he can flat out guard anybody crazy Athlete on the wing they needed to improve their athleticism on the wing defensively they absolutely did that the other you know the the other names on that list um you know Monte Morris that doesn’t do much for me Colin Gillespie uh what was the other I’m Miss oh plumbley I like plumbley I like that addition too I think it’s a nice pickup he’s a high energy guy he runs the floor really well um so I think that they I think they I think they’re going to be better you know phoenix look it’s been a rough road everywhere Kevin Durant’s really been uh there’s been underachievement on these teams I I feel probably better about this team going into the year than than I did last year and um now it comes down to what Mike buher can do differently to get more out of this group and make them more cohesive and then you know obviously stay healthy let let these guys play together and get some continuity they didn’t get a ton of that last year
