W offseason for being better than expected. I was trying to recruit Dragan Bender for them incase. More of a W if we couldve brought back Mikal and Cam for beal
This is an A+ offseason
Bradley Beal > Chris Paul. Plus people forget Beal is only 3 years older than Booker. Beal will still be in his prime throughout this contract. One of our biggest issues were not shooting free throws enough free throws and Brad gets to the line. People forget how good he is
Eric Gordon > Terrence Ross/ Landry Shamet – In the playoffs I think we all feel good about Gordon playing of the three
Eubanks > Landale – Better rim protector and can actually make an open 3. In the playoffs I feel better about him battling Joker than Landale
Bates Diop > T Craig – I think they are pretty similar. Bates Diop is younger and is on a better deal. He was also a really good scorer in college
Cam Johnson > Yuta – Yuta is a poor man's Cam Johnson on a minimum and is arguably a better shooter than Cam.
Metu – Bizzy – I think its a wash. Bizzy is a better defender but Metu has more offensive upside
Toumani – Need to see more but he looks like he can play which is all you ask for in the 2nd round. He reminds me of Keegan Murray
Okogie – Love the resign. He fits like a glove in Vogels system. In LA he played Alex Carusso a lot and was one of Vogels favorites. I could see Okogie playing that role
Goodwin – He has a ton of upside. I can't wait to see him
D.Lee – Was on fire from 3. I hate that Monty benched him for Shamet
Also don't forget that we built one of the best coaching staffs in the league
Beal…Booker…Durant…Gordon…Ayton
Payne…Diop…Watanabe…Mezu…Eubanks
Camara and A few others
If you replace Gordon with Payne our entire second team is new but also stout. We have everything we need.
Fingers still crossed for Bol Bol, man.
They already traded Todd to the Grizzlies.
Drunk if you don’t think frank vogel and the suns aren’t going big this season we will have 2 centers in the lineup and kd at the three so chimizie and drew ewubanks should see at least 20 minutes a game in the regular season because we don’t want our big three playing 42 minutes anyway ayton should even need to play more than 20 minutes in the regular season because of injuries
In what world can eric gordan start? Have 3 shooting guards start!? So confused why I keep hearing this
Players are like stocks. Signing bol bol now could be a great roi
You mention releasing Isiah Todd to free up a roster spot, I thought they just traded him for some draft picks?
Eubanks is better than Landale, great move getting him….the Rockets wasted 8 million per on a maybe 2-3 million per guy
Okogie won't start because you're playing 4 on 5 on offense
This is why the okogie signing isn’t great. In the playoffs, teams HEAVILY sagged off of okogie because they knew he wasn’t able to be a shooter. Obviously other guys got doubled and they would have to kick out the ball to okogie who would be the open man. He would always miss and it would worsen the spacing a lot more
"At 6'3 Josh Okogio is not long at all". Meanwhile his wingspan is 7 FEET! With a 42 inch vertical that's why he's a beast of an offensive rebounder.
Todd got traded for second round picks
recently found you guys and your my favorite suns channel right now i just hope they can sign bol bol cristian wood or kelly Oubre and we should be good
B+ now. If we sign Bol Bol and cut ish its an A-
Trade Aiton
Draft picks are always hit and miss and we have really missed….unless you have a top 5, draft picks dont mean a lot….and yes i know we got Book in the teens but thats a once in a lifetime gift.
Kelly Oubre or Bol Bol will complete this roster !
They're going to initially have a problem with ball distribution, with no designated point guard, until they develop team chemistry. They also have to keep some physically and mentally fragile players happy and healthy to succeed.
With bol bol at the 5 we could have DA play his true position at the 4
If KD is the starting power forward, the Suns are gonna get wrecked on the boards. Metu or Diop needs to start at PF and move KD back to his natural position.
Okogie is not long? He has a 7' wingspan. +9 inches. That's Mikal levels but a little shorter and more athletic.
Isaiah Todd is gone guys. He left in the Memphis trade for the 3 2nd round picks.
Eubanks is FLAT OUT better than Landale. ESPECIALLY on that contract.
We gotta stop saying we crippled ourselves for the future. If things start going in the wrong direction, we have so much equity in players like KD, Beal, Ayton, Book. We could easily blow this up worst case scenario and go back to the drawing board with a ton of first round picks. The price we got Beal and KD for will easily pay for themselves if we ever need to start over.
